Network of Informants

Any aspiring emperor of the known world likes to be kept in the loop.

Attila had eyes everywhere. In the empire business this was an essential intrigue if you wanted to stay alive long enough to enjoy the spoils of your conquest. A good example of Attila's spy network in action was related by the 5th century Roman diplomat, Priscus of Panium. Unbeknownst to both Priscus and his fellow ambassadors, agents of the Emperor Theodosius had planted several assassins within his party with orders to kill Attila when the time was right. However, there was a double-agent in their midst; Edeco was in on the plot but warned his master when the party reached Attila's camp. With their secret out the assassins expected nothing but death, but to everyone's great surprise Attila instead sent them home unmolested. Maybe it was important to show Theodosius that his every move was known and could be countered or maybe he intended to use the incident to secure even greater tribute from Rome? Whatever his intentions, with this move Attila clearly proved himself the more powerful man.
