"Sebastian Theodore Royce worked for the FBI from 1987 to 1992. During his time at the FBI, he was coerced by Director Lawrence Hackett into performing illegal activities, such as framing targets for crimes they didn\u2019t commit. As one of his assignments for the FBI, Royce spent 2 months undercover at a casino. The FBI suspected the owner of smuggling, however they had no evidence. Royce was then ordered to frame the owner for tax evasion. Red noted that Royce was always good with numbers. Once the assignment was complete Royce asked for a protective detail to be put on his family. However, for some reason, they didn\u2019t receive the extra protection and his family was killed. It was then that he decided to become a criminal and seek revenge on the FBI. Using his mathematic skills, he became The Gambler. He used probability to commit crimes. By 1992, he had met Reddington and they committed numerous crimes together."@en .
