The Master Spy (unknown – 1916) was a Sage and member of the Templar Order that operated in London during World War I. There, he ran a spy network on behalf of the German government. Despite all of this, he was secretly establishing a localized branch for his religious cult, which is in service of Juno.
History
The Master Spy was a Templar Spy operating in London on the behalf of the German government doing World War I, 1916. During his time in London, he had seemingly recruited many of the Templar Spies there as members of the Instruments of the First Will and was attempting to recruit even more pagan followers for his religion. Winston Churchill eventually got wind of him and his fanatic cult. Churchill reported all of his findings to Lydia Frye, who went on to stop his operations across London. She started by killing off his followers in several of their hideouts and strongholds.

She eventually found him in a Templar spy hideout. There she confronted him, though he managed to escape by using a flash grenade. Lydia gave chase as he eventually reached his main hideout and stronghold. There he got all of his followers to hold off the attackers and Lydia, as he commanded the rest to burn all traces of Juno and the First Civilization. Lydia eventually killed all of his followers and then killed him herself. In 2015, Juno thanked a Helix initiate for discovering his fate, and added his life to the Grey, and in doing so gained a fragment of her late husband, for herself.
Personality
The Spy's original personality is never shown as he had been completely possessed by Aita's spirit. Because of this he was obsessed with the release of Juno from the Grand Temple. His personality was viewed by the other Templar spies as odd, since one sarcastically describe him that he looks as if he had "seen the face of God". He was also very determined to keep his organization a secret, going as far as ordering all of his followers to destroy any evidence they had of the Isu in their London stronghold upon their discovery by the Assassin Lydia Frye.
