I have frequently wondered if both he and Geitner come from established CIA families — everything makes so much more logical sense if he’s simply a generation spy who grew up having a dozen different identiites. LOL
More like an established NKVD/KGB families.
More seriously (maybe) when he was a young lad in Indonesia, a time when foreigners were very unwelcome, the Lolo family told everyone he was from Irian Jaya to explane away his curly hair.
He’s spent his whole life pretending to be what he’s not.
