Kate then organized the raid on a possible location for Red, which is led by Baz while Dembe Zuma guards Kate and Liz.

One of Kaplan’s associates, Albert Dennison, is found by Tom, tied to a chair and tortured. Tom hides just as Dembe and Reddington enter, revealing they are responsible.

Reddington mentioned that during the war with Kaplan, she destroyed his human smuggling networks and the Kilgannons took over his routes.

Descripción[]

Reddington es un hombre de mediana edad, de estatura regular y complexión física en buen estado. Pesa 86,2 kilos (190 libras) y mide cerca de 1,76 metros. Posee tez clara, ojos verdes y padece calvicie. Al tratarse de un criminal profesional, Red es un hombre despiadado que está dispuesto a matar a cualquier persona que lo obstaculice. Detesta profundamente las traiciones, precisamente por ser una persona que valora mucho la lealtad, asesinando a todo aquel que lo ha vendido o ha roto los pactos establecidos. Se clasifica como un hombre “a la antigua” ya que no es adepto a la modernización y prefiere vestir trajes ochenteros, acompañados por un característico sombrero de la misma época.

Suele ser alguien impredecible, apareciéndose en lugares claves de forma inesperada antes que sus enemigos, tomándolos con sorpresa. Además, tiene un gusto por contar anécdotas de su vida, muchas de ellas acompañadas por un intimidante sarcasmo; las cuales suele utilizar a menudo para que el receptor deduzca lo que tiene en mente.

Debido a su personalidad, él se ha armado de muchas enemistades y por el contrario, pocas amistades. Sin embargo, cuando establece una relación afectiva de cualquier tipo con alguien, puede ser cariñoso y predispuesto a proteger a esa persona, como se muestra con Dembe Zuma, Naomi Hylland y más aún con Elizabeth Keen, con quien tiene una atípica relación de padre-hija.

Background[]

Neville Townsend was a drug lord and crime lord in Russia with ties to the Russian Bratva, that used his ports to move their drugs. 30 years ago, as the result of N-13’s actions, his narcotics smuggling operation was exposed. Because of that, the Bratva’s Vory murdered his family as a warning to not turn state’s evidence against them. The tragedy left him emotionally scarred and unable to sleep with a stable pattern. Believing N-13 to be Katarina Rostova, due to his KGB sources, Townsend created the Townsend Directive, a dead-only bounty on Katarina Rostova. Townsend himself was mentioned in a flashback scene between Ilya Koslov and Dominic Wilkinson in a cafe in Belgrade, where Dom was explaining the formation of the Townsend Directive.

Background[]

Katarina Rostova is a former KGB intelligence officer and the mother of Elizabeth Keen. Trained by her father, Katarina was assigned with the mission of seducing and spying on Raymond Reddington. Also, at an unknown time, Katarina became a double agent for the Cabal and started to work directly for Alan Fitch, betraying the KGB. The real Raymond Reddington, Liz’s father, took Liz from her and fled. Katarina gave up everything to follow her lover and her daughter. When she finally found them, she and Raymond began arguing. The argument escalated into a physical confrontation that resulted in Liz shooting her father to protect her mother. Katarina and her childhood friend Ilya Koslov pulled Reddington from the fire in an attempt to save his life, but failed and Reddington died. She then gave up Liz to protect her.

Constantin Rostov, Katarina’s husband, told Elizabeth that Katarina and Raymond had an affair which she at some point ended. Upset, Raymond allegedly took Liz from her parents.

Depressed that the child she adored killed the only man that she ever loved, Katarina was never the same again. Two months later she went to Cape May, New Jersey, left her clothes on the beach and walked into the sea.

Both “Red” and Sam Scott told Liz that her mother died. Most people in the intelligence community believe that Katarina Rostova never existed. Several CIA officers viewed her as a Soviet Mata Hari whose career had been glorified for propaganda reasons. She was a myth and had been a cover identity for numerous female Soviet operatives. However, there have been signs that Katarina Rostova faked her own death. Anton Velov was tasked with hunting her down and tracked her to a hotel in Prague. When Anton came, he found that she had left the hotel in a hurry but forgot to take the picture of Masha with her. In “Drexel”, it was revealed that a painting was commissioned titled “Rostova”.

In “Mr. Kaplan: Conclusion” it is revealed that Reddington was involved in Katarina’s fate. Dembe comments that he doesn’t think Elizabeth will “ever be ready to learn about what you did to Katarina”. Red is determined to make sure Liz never learns the truth of what happened to her mother, believing the truth will damage her beyond repair.

Besides Red, only a few people seem to know the truth of what happened to Katarina, including her father Dominic Wilkinson, Kathryn Nemec, Dembe Zuma, Sam Scott, and Naomi Hyland.

In “Rassvet”, it is confirmed that she faked her death by walking into the sea due to the numerous people after her. After Katarina intervened to stop a rape, she realized that Anton Velov would hear of it and know she was still alive. Hunted by Velov and his men, Ilya took on the identity of Raymond Reddington to protect them both and to keep Reddington from being discredited. Katarina met her father when he made it to America himself and promised to send him a letter via a post office box when it was safe for her again. According to Dom, he checked the box every week for 28 years and never once received word from Katarina. As such, Dom isn’t sure she’s still alive, believing that she would have contacted him if she was.

In “Robert Diaz” it is revealed that Katarina is alive and is living in Paris. Red tracks her down and finds her walking on a dark street. Katarina kisses him, and then stabs him with a syringe. A van pulls up and takes Red away and Katarina walks off holding Red’s fedora.

In «Nachalo», it is revealed that Dom had Tatiana Petrova impersonate Katarina in order to protect the real Katerina and her daughter from the Cabal and the KGB. Katerina is alive and in hiding with a new identity with only a few people knowing this information.

Season 8[]

”Nachalo”

Katarina appears in a series of flashbacks as the truth about Raymond Reddington is revealed. It’s revealed that the woman Reddington killed is not in fact the real Katarina Rostova but a woman named Tatiana Petrova who was assigned by Dom long ago to play the part of Katarina so that he and Ilya Koslov could fake her death, thus protecting the real Katarina. Tatiana survived, but her husband was killed and Reddington financed her life in hiding after learning what Dom did to her. Tatiana was searching for the real Katarina after learning from Liz’s investigation that Reddington knew where she was so that she could stop hiding from Neville Townsend. After the truth was tortured out of Dom, Reddington killed the fake Katarina in order to keep that information from getting back to Townsend. The real Katarina and Ilya had created the imposter Reddington to protect Liz using the Sikorsky Archive, the central core of Reddington’s empire. It’s revealed that the real Katarina is still alive somewhere, but Townsend attacks the bunker before Liz can learn where or who Reddington really is.

Season 5[]

“The Invisible Hand”

He met his granddaughter Elizabeth for the first time, though he didn’t divulge his true identity to her. However he did share on how he knew her mother Katarina. After she left, Dom called Reddington to inform him of Elizabeth’s visit, in the end he expressed his frustration on having seen his granddaughter for the first time in 30 years without informing her of who he is. Dominic also warned him to stop being evasive and tell her the truth about what he did, to which he hung up on him.

“Sutton Ross”

After recovering the duffle bag of bones, Red returns to Dom’s cabin with Dembe. Dom watches as Reddington burns the bones of what is revealed to be the real Raymond Reddington who had been killed and replaced decades before by the imposter known as Raymond Reddington. Aware of the man’s secret, Dom warns that while Liz may not know his secret, she knows he has one and will never stop till she discovers it. However, Dom, Dembe and Raymond are unaware that Liz has already learned the truth, that Raymond is not the real Raymond Reddington.

Карьера

В 2012 году она дебютировала на Бродвее в мюзикле Bring It On the Musical , который открылся 1 августа 2012 года и закончился 30 декабря 2012 года. Мюзикл был номинирован на премию Тони как лучший мюзикл. Во время гастролей с шоу Редмонд была номинирована на различные награды за свое выступление, в том числе на лучшую исполнительницу в мюзикле от кружка драматических критиков Лос-Анджелеса. В 2014 году она сыграла Полетт в мюзикле If / Then, который открылся 30 марта 2014 года на Бродвее с Идиной Мензель в главной роли .

В 2015 году Редмонд снялся в постановке Off-Broadway театра Vineyard Theatre Gigantic , премьера которой состоялась 3 декабря 2015 года.

Она провела несколько аншлаговых концертов в «54 Lower».

15 января 2019 года было объявлено, что с 19 февраля Редмонд возьмет на себя роль Олафа в бродвейской постановке « Холодное сердце». Она стала первой женщиной, исполнившей эту роль. Однако из-за пандемии коронавируса 2019-2020 все бродвейские театры были закрыты 12 марта 2020 года. Позже Disney объявила, что Frozen не откроется после снятия блокировки.

Accessories

Other than Red’s sunglasses and fedora, his most notable accessory would have to be his watch. Red wears a GMT Master II made by Rolex.

​This is a very expensive accessory, but I thought I should show you where to get the real thing.

For most of us the SO&CO Yacht club watch is a much more realistic option. This watch looks very close to the watch he wears on the show and would make an excellent addition to your Raymond Reddington outfit.

Sunglasses

Red’s signature glasses are one of my favorite parts of the Raymond Reddington outfit. They have gold frames with cognac lenses.

You can find the exact same glasses available on Amazon and sold by SunglassesRave.

​If you are doing a Raymond Reddington costume, I highly suggest you include these because — like the Fedora — it is a key piece to his outfit.

If you would rather use a pair of your own glasses, make sure they have cognac lenses, otherwise they will just not look right and you would be better off without them.

​Hat

While researching what kind of hat Red wears, I found that the idea of the fedora was actually James Spader’s idea. He thought the hat would go well with the character and I have to agree.

If you want to include Reddingtons fedora, there is an exact replica available on Amazon​.  I was also able to find a close match to his grey fedora sold by Belfry Hats.

Personally, I like the black fedora and considering that it is a replica of the hat he wears on “The Blacklist” I would recommend going with that one.​

If you’re looking for his straw fedora, this Stetson is a pretty close match.​

Season 5[]

“Zarak Mosadek”

Jennifer is introduced as a bartender living under an assumed name Lilly May Roth whom Garvey visits. When Liz takes Jennifer to her apartment to ask for her help in putting him away, she revealed an abusive relationship she and her mother both endured with Red. Garvey saved Jennifer’s life and she was placed in Witness Protection for 20 years while waiting for the day when he is finally brought to justice to face his crimes. Liz then reveals that Red is also her father and they are half-sisters.

“Ian Garvey: Conclusion”

Liz asks for Jennifer’s help to capture Garvey since he has information concerning the skeleton in the duffel bag. She refuses stating that Ian saved her and Naomi from Red. She mentions it was too late for her and Liz to have a sisterly bond. Jennifer later confronts Ian about Tom’s murder, which he suspects she had been speaking to Keen. He admits he kill Red now and that Jennifer never needed to hide behind what truly happened in her past.

Sometime later Ian shows up to Paul’s Pub wounded and asking Jennifer for money, telling her to claim it was a robbery in progress. Liz finds Garvey first. Jennifer tells Ian that Red is Keen’s father. Red appears holding a gun on Ian. Jennifer confronts Red for abandoning her and Naomi. Jennifer watches in horror as Ian is shot by Keen and Dembe. At the hospital, Jennifer watches as Ian is wheeled into surgery.

“Nicholas T. Moore”

Raymond asks Jennifer to bring him to Naomi. She first refused and later changed her mind. She and Reddington met at a restaurant. There she asked him some questions and in return she would bring him to Naomi. It then turned out she has been shot and killed. At Naomi’s grave site, Jennifer admitted that her mother cut off contact with her in order to protect her from Red who would one day be looking for her and trusted Garvey to take care of her. She mentioned she hadn’t known Naomi had been dead until Frank finally contacted her. Jennifer asks Red if he knows who did kill her mother and he says he did not even know she was dead. Therefore after getting some answers, she asks for Red to not contact her again. Red obliges to Jennifer’s request and she leaves so he can give a long overdue apology to Naomi.

“Sutton Ross”

Jennifer joins Liz and Sutton Ross in exposing the truth about the duffel bag: they belong to the real Raymond Reddington who was killed and replaced by the unknown impostor who has been known as Raymond Reddington for decades. Jennifer narrowly escapes detection when Ross is killed and later joins Liz at Tom’s grave before they depart to get justice for their father.

​Raymond Reddington’s Shoes

No, Red does not wear Converse Chuck Taylors or Vans, Red wears a practical yet stylish dress shoe.

I have not been able to track down the exact shoes Red wears on the show. After doing research, I have learned many believe they are called Ferragamo Stream in Auburn deer, but I have been unable to verify this or find this shoe sold online.

I have however, found a close match with the Bostonian Wendell Oxford​.

​His shoes are not a main focus point in his overall style in my opinion. So, I think you are safe to go with most brown dress shoes, but if you want to get as close as you can to what Red wears on the show, I say go with the Bostonian Oxford’s.

Which of these Raymond Reddington quotes is your favorite?

As you can see from the quotes above, Raymond Reddington is a complex, genius, narcissist who is always a few steps ahead of everyone else.

His focus is never on the task at hand, but what that task at hand leads to and the FBI needs to learn to start thinking like Reddington in order to keep up with him.

A sociopath who seemingly has no emotion or care for others, Reddington does show a fondness for a few loved ones throughout the series, but he is still the number one concern to himself.

With Reddington’s intellect, charm, and cold-blooded reasoning he is able to get in and out of most situations and his past makes him an integral resource for the FBI as he leads them in capturing many high-profile criminals.
