John Rider was Alex Rider's father and an agent of MI6. It is revealed in the book Russian Roulette that John became double agent for MI6 and criminal organization Scorpia, and sought to infiltrate and destroy the latter.

He was cruel, manipulative and single-minded, callously deciding to kill Julius Grief after the Horseman File had done it's work.
