The Betrayal of Bishop Crane
Bishop Crane, who had served with JJ in the Special Forces, gave up his military career to pursue profitable illegal businesses motivated by money. Their entire unit was tragically lost in his infamous betrayal during a mission in Colombia, where he sided with a drug cartel for personal gain. JJ was the only one who survived. JJ still finds this betrayal to be a painful memory, which is evident in his somber preservation of a photo honoring their fallen teammates.
Crane becomes a prominent figure in the criminal underworld in My Spy: The Eternal City. He plays an important role when hired to intercept a critical CIA operation involving the retrieval of sensitive intelligence related to old Soviet suitcase-nukes—portable nuclear devices whose activation codes were secured by NATO in 1973, preventing their detonation but keeping their locations secret.
The plot begins with CIA operative Christina obtaining critical data from a Soviet facility and transporting it safely to a location in Germany. However, Christina mysteriously disappears en route under suspicious circumstances, and Crane is later identified as the perpetrator responsible for her kidnapping and subsequent murder. His covert operations expertise and strategic acumen make him a formidable adversary for factions looking to capitalize on the dangerous potential of the missing suitcase nukes.
Crane’s involvement demonstrates his transformation from a disciplined soldier to a mercenary motivated by personal gain, posing a serious threat to global stability. His actions force JJ and his CIA colleagues to confront a dangerous adversary from their past, highlighting the long-lasting consequences of betrayal and greed in the complex world of international security.
