Cipher's Organization
A mercenary force that leverages hostages and nuclear threats to command global chaos.
Cipher is a mercenary and terrorist force that forced Dominic Toretto into a betrayal by holding Elena hostage. Operating as a new enemy in The Fate of the Furious, Cipher utilized her right-hand man, Connor Rhodes, to execute Elena before Dom successfully stole nuclear warheads for her and handed them over on her plane, just before the final confrontation. She manipulated Otto in F9 to betray Jakob Toretto, aiming to obtain Project Aries—an endeavor that actively endangered the crew and involved indirect attempts on their lives through Otto. This organization represents a direct threat to the family unit, leveraging high-stakes hostages and global weaponry to control world events.

Lore & Background
In The Fate of the Furious, Cipher emerges as a new enemy who forces Dom to work for her by holding Elena hostage. She compels him to steal an EMP device from a military convoy in Berlin—she did not already possess the God's Eye at the start. On her plane, she reveals that Elena had given birth to Dom's son after she was taken hostage, and Dom was unaware of the child until that moment. Before Dom successfully steals the nuclear warheads and hands them over to her, she allows Connor Rhodes, her second-in-command, to kill Elena in front of Dom. Later, in F9, Cipher manipulates Otto into betraying Jakob Toretto, as Otto was already working with Jakob, and Cipher offered him a share of Project Aries and a partnership, not full control. Her goal was to obtain Project Aries, and she was actively manipulating events to that end, endangering the crew and attempting to kill them indirectly through Otto.
In Their Own Story
The conflict escalates when Cipher forces Dom to betray his family during his honeymoon with Letty. She holds Elena hostage to ensure compliance while he helps steal the God's Eye. On her plane, she reveals the existence of their son before Connor Rhodes kills Elena after a failed attempt to secure nuclear warheads. Once his son is safe, Dom turns on Cipher, killing Rhodes to avenge Elena. In F9, the conflict continues as she manipulates Otto and Jakob Toretto to steal Project Aries, intending to control all world computers and weapons systems. Her plan unravels when she double-crosses Jakob after he learns the truth about their father's death.
