He was an Austrian double agent who was responsible for conquering cities and spearheading a battle that led to the destruction of the Roman Empire. While he was acting chief policeman in Vienna, he was an escaped fugitive being hunted for under other aliases - his tricks and skills in the art of disguise were legendary.
