Sarah Bancroft

Sarah Bancroft is an intelligence agent working for the CIA and occasionally for the Office.

Background
Sarah is the daughter of a wealthy Citibank executive and spent much of her childhood in Europe, where she acquired a Continental education along with Continental languages and manners. She returned to America to attend Dartmouth and became the youngest woman ever to earn a PhD in art history at Harvard after spending a year at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.

While she was in the process of finishing her dissertation, Sarah started dating Ben Callahan who was killed during the attacks on September 11, 2001. This tragedy ultimately led Sarah into the world of intelligence.

Ben Callahan
Sarah started dating Ben whilst finishing her dissertation. Before Ben died, he managed to make one phone call to Sarah.

Sarah was assigned as the CIA liaison to the office to try to free Elizabeth Halton. Later, Sarah attended Gabriel's and Chiara's wedding.

Sarah played the niece of Sir John Boothby, who had to sell a painting by Mary Cassatt. Gabriel Allon painted a copy of the original painting. Elena Kharkov recognized Gabriel's painting as a forgery immediately but told her husband, Ivan Kharkov, to buy it for her.

Gabriel assigned Sarah and Mikhail Abramov to play the part of a couple. After Mikhail met Elena Kharkov, he took her off to feign having a short affair, thereby allowing Gabriel Allon time to recruit Elena to work against her husband, Ivan Kharkov. Sarah and Mikhail feigned an argument. Sarah disappeared and Mikhail followed a short time later after being beat up by Ivan Kharkov's thugs.

Sarah was revealed to be in a relationship with Mikhail Abramov of the Office. She distracted Vladimir Chernov in Geneva by posing as a woman Chernov had supposedly scorned to allow Uzi Navot and others to abduct him, his driver and his bodyguard.

Sarah attended the party that celebrated Gabriel becoming director of the Office. There she met Mikhail, whom she greeted by coolly shaking his hand, and his new girlfriend Natalie, whom she glared at.
