The Intersect was a computer system, network and database that contained and maintained a database of NSA and CIA secrets encoded as images. The Intersect was destroyed and it's database stolen by Bryce Larkin. The only current backup of the Intersect database is Chuck Bartowski's brain.

Creation

The Intersect was created after 9/11 as a central database for the FBI, NSA, CIA to be used as a central, shared database and as a way to screen data to find patterns which may help identify threats.

Destruction

The original Intersect was destroyed by the rogue CIA agent Bryce Larkin after he downloaded the secrets into a model 01 OQO.

Transfer of the Intersect Database to Chuck

Before Bryce Larkin was killed by Major John Casey, Bryce emailed the secrets Chuck Bartowski who opened the email and inadvertently downloaded the national secrets of the Intersect directly into his brain.

The only other copy of the Intersect's database was inside of Chuck's computer as the email sent by Bryce. Chuck's computer was accidentally destroyed by Sarah Walker in an attempt to retrieve it ninja-style from Chuck's house.

This left Chuck as the only "backup" of the Intersect's database, which he can only retrieve by seeing images related to the content of the database. Being so valuable, the NSA and CIA have sent their best agents, Casey and Sarah, respectively, to protect him.

New Intersect Database

A new Intersect computer is being built and Casey has standing orders to kill Chuck upon it's completion. Following the activation of the new intersect a hidden program caused it to self destruct, killing CIA Director Graham. Since then Bryce Larkin tricked Chuck into wearing a pair of glasses which updated the old Intersect data stored in his mind.
