Milo RambaldiMilo Giacomo Rambaldi is a fictional character from the TV series Alias. An artist, engineer, and mystic, the character of Rambaldi (1444-1496) served as chief engineer to Pope Alexander VI. The work of Rambaldi, often centuries ahead of its time and tied to prophecy, plays a central role in Alias. Bio Rambaldi's technological developments are sought after by numerous governments and rogue organizations in the series. The character of Arvin Sloane in Alias is generally obsessed with obtaining Rambaldi's work and unlocking its secrets. The character draws its inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci and Nostradamus. Da Vinci is well known for his inventions and ideas which were also said to be years ahead of their time. Rambaldi's artistic-looking manuscripts, written in code, are a direct reference to da Vinci's method of recording his work. Behind the scenes, amongst the writers of Alias, the character Rambaldi is often referred to as "Nostravinci". There seems to be no limit to Rambaldi's genius as he was highly capable in robotics, life extention, protein engineering, mathematics, cryptography and cartography. One of Rambaldi's prophecies which is central to the Alias story arc is that he predicted the coming of a woman of great power who would bring "utter devastation". The identity of this woman has been variously speculated in the series to be Sydney Bristow, her mother, Irina Derevko, and her half-sister, Nadia Santos. Rambaldi's works from centuries earlier include a drawing of a woman identical in appearance to Sydney. The Rambaldi subplot, which dominated the first two seasons of the series, was greatly explored in the second half of the third season, but is virtually nonexistent in the early episodes of season four, however it continues to lurk in the background of the series, and creator J.J. Abrams has promised this storyline is far from over. Rambaldi, Milo
