This article is about the individual. You may be looking for the memory.
They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Master Spy.

This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias.

"Have you noticed? He has a crazy glint in his eyes, like he's seen the face of God."
―One of the Master Spy's followers, 1916.[src]-[m]

The Master Spy (died 1916) was a Sage and a Templar who operated in London during World War I. There, he ran a spy network on behalf of the German government while also establishing a localized cult in service of the Isu Juno.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Little is known about the Master Spy's early life as a reincarnation of Juno's husband Aita or of his experiences as Aita's memories began conflicting with his own. By adulthood, whatever original personality he had was completely supplanted by Aita's, leading him to ferverently search for an unnamed "Beloved".[1]

By 1916, both Winston Churchill and the British Assassin Lydia Frye had caught wind of the Master Spy's operations and teamed up to shut them down.[2] Supplied with intel by Churchill, Lydia was able to eliminate many of the spymaster's followers[3][4] and steal the sensitive information they had procured.[5][6][7]

Lydia eventually tracked down and confronted the Master Spy at his hideout; a struggle ensued, but the Spy Master used a stun grenade to disorient the Assassin, giving him an opportunity to slip away. The Master Spy then made his way towards another stronghold, where a fight broke out between his followers and Churchill's men.[1]

Undeterred, he and a small number of spies set to burning all documents containing evidence of Juno's existence. However, Lydia then reappeared and killed the followers, before assassinating the Master Spy himself, thereby eliminating the cult's presence in London.[1]

Legacy[edit | edit source]

"I remember you. One of the Master Spy's acolytes."
―Albert Bolden to Rufus Grosvenor, 1928.[src]-[m]

Despite the destruction of the Master Spy's cult, not all of his followers perished, and some remained active for years afterwards, continuing to further Juno's goals. One such disciple, Rufus Grosvenor, aimed to acquire and unlock the full power of the Koh-i-Noor, which was safeguarded by the Black Cross Albert Bolden. When Grosvenor tracked down Bolden inside a Chinese opium den in 1928, the Black Cross immediately recognized him as one of the Master Spy's former acolytes and refused to disclose the Koh-i-Noor's location.[8]

In 2015, the Helix Initiate relived Lydia Frye's memories,[1] which allowed Juno, whose consciousness entered a digital afterlife called the Grey following her release from the Grand Temple,[9] to find out the Master Spy's fate so that "his pattern [could] be added to [her] own".[1]
