Spies are the masters of disguise, infiltration and information gathering. Their ability to deceive is nearly unmatched and many leaders who whispered into a confidant’s ear have actually provided state secrets to their enemies. Spies can penetrate their target’s defenses using their beguiling charm and wit to win their trust, or they can use their skills of disguise to step into the role of a high ranking official. In any case, the job of a spy is a dangerous and lonely one, surrounded by the enemy on all sides and constantly at risk of discovery. For this they are usually very well paid or fanatically loyal to their employer. The bane of the intelligence gathering system is the double agent, for he is unpredictable and his allegiance is uncertain.
