Who Is Elizabeth Keen’S Real Father

Also, the real Raymond Reddington was Liz’s father, whom she shot and killed as a child, spurring Katarina to send her to live with her adoptive father. Because no one was aware of Reddington’s death, Katarina created a new “Red” (Spader) to watch over Liz.

We know the real Red died 30 years ago at Liz’s own hand, and the story that KGB officer Ilya Koslov later assumed Red’s identity turned out to be just that — a story.

While Liz initially defends Red, her mother provides shocking news: Red is lying, he is not Ilya Koslov. With that Liz’s world blows up again and she ends up helping Katarina and her comrades evade the FBI and Red. This time, it’s Katarina with the trick up her sleeve.

Though the origin of Red’s connection to Liz isn’t fully explained by the end of Wednesday’s Season 8 finale, the hints laid out across the last two episodes of the season strongly suggest that Raymond Reddington is actually Liz’s mother, Katarina Rostova (played in flashbacks by Lotte Verbeek).

The Cabal, or the mysterious organization that wants Reddington eliminated, seems to be the true enemy. After Reddington won his war with the Cabal however, the blacklisters start being connected to various people connected to Elizabeth’s past as Masha Rostova.

Liz’s Father Is The Real Raymond Reddington

When Liz was only four she shot Reddington while he was attacking Katarina and then a fire broke out. Though Katarina and Ilya saved Reddington from the fire, The Blacklist’s Raymond Reddington died as a result of Liz’s fatal shot.

Liz is Red’s daughter, but the Red we know is not her father.

Liz’s is Red’s daughter but not the Red we’ve all come to know, or so it seems. In Season 5, Episode 22 of The Blacklist, the truth was apparently revealed. Yes, Liz and Raymond are father and daughter, but the man she thought to be Red wasn’t her father at all. The actual Red had been in a relationship with Liz’s mother, Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins), a KGB agent sent to seduce him and begin a romance with him.

Liz, when she was 4 years old, is said to have shot her father while he was attacking her mother. A fire had erupted during the shooting, and Red ended up dying from his wounds later. The duffle bag of bones that is discovered is not another blacklister but instead her biological father. But if the real Red was in the bag, then who was the man with whom Liz had this roller-coaster relationship? Article continues below advertisement

In the same season, The Blacklist then disclosed that Katarina’s friend and lover Ilya Koslov (Brett Cullen), also a KBG agent, took Red’s place following his demise and changed his face with extensive plastic surgery. However, in Season 7, viewers learned that Red isn’t Ilya when he appears in the form of actor Brett Cullen, who’s a good friend of the supposed Red phony.
