The final episode of Falcon and the Winter Solider aka now Captain America and the Winter Solider, made it clear that Sharon Carter was the Power Broker. She manipulated Karly and gave Karly the serum. Karly stole the serum from Sharon - and Sharon used Bucky and Sam to get to Karly, whom she killed (possibly to save Sam...). [Note Falcon & WS is NOT a series, it's a limited series or mini-series, and won't have a second season.]
When Sharon got back with the CIA - she's still the power broker, but now selling secrets and information, as opposed to the super serum. And she used her knowledge in the CIA to get hold of the scientist who developed the super serum. [You may have missed that bit? It's an added scene, I think in the credits. Where she gets elevated to Director of the CIA, and calls her business partner - immediately after, letting them know they can now trade in secrets, which is far more lucrative and better than the serum. She's pretty much established in that scene as the antagonist.]
They had a twist of sorts, Sharon was the bad guy, not Zenmo (who wanted to get rid of the super soliders), nor Karly who wanted a better world for her people, nor Johnnie Walker. She was grey, but she was the one behind the whole thing. But they never realized it.
I don't think she can be under-cover - since she's the one making the deals and not working for anyone, people are working for her. Whomever she was talking to on the phone - sounds like her second or reporting to her.
Somewhere within those last five years - during the blip, Sharon decided every person for themselves. She kind of says this to Bucky and Sam, in their discussion about heroes. She's cynical and nihilistic.
I don't see any other interpretation from the last couple of scenes. Unless I missed something? It seemed fairly clear. Also as far as I know, she's not a continuing character elsewhere. Unless she pops up in Marvels.
Valentina - on the other hand, portrayed by Julia Louise Dreyfus - may not be a villain, she's a Shield Agent, and apparently brought Johnnie Walker into Shield, after she destroyed the rest of the super soliders. Shield doesn't trust the CIA. Sharon Carter was CIA. Her Aunt was Shield. Valentina will pop up again - in the Black Widow movie.
Regarding - Shadow & Bone:
Apparently Six of Crows is just two books, and Shadow of Bone three. And no need to read Shadow and Bone to read Six of Crows. I kind of like the characters from Six of Crows better - they are more interesting.
