Listen well. The spy we have been seeking all this time is none other than Flame Marshal Eline Roaille, Raubahn's second-in-command.
Prior to joining the Immortal Flames, she was a mercenary of no small renown. They say her skill with a polearm had to be seen to be believed.
Of Ishgardian birth, she is the highest-ranked foreigner in the Immortal Flames─barring the Flame General himself, of course.
When he formed the Grand Company, Raubahn chose people based on their worth. Whence they hailed was of no interest.
The Monetarists saw things differently, however. Having funded the enterprise, they reserved the right to reject candidates nominated for high-ranking positions.
And 'twas no secret that they did not favor foreigners─Ishgardians especially, after the way the Holy See forsook the Alliance.
Yet the Monetarists did not raise so much as a murmur of protest when Roaille was appointed to her post. Passing strange, is it not? Could it be that the Ivy has some hold over the Monetarists?
...But these revelations are secondary to our current mission. Of foremost interest to us is Roaille's presence here now. As you may be aware, it is the duty of the flame marshal to command the Immortal Flames in the absence of the Flame General. While Raubahn attended the council of Alliance leaders, she should have remained in the Hall of Flames.
The woman has no business being in Gridania─yet here she is nonetheless, on some pretense. She is up to something, mark my words.
Even as we speak, I have a dozen men trawling the Flames' records for evidence of Roaille's guilt─but if we can catch her red-handed, we shall have all the proof we need.
...Which brings me to the plan. I have people watching the city gates, the airship landing, and the docks─every point of egress. She cannot leave without our knowledge. All that remains is to shadow her until she betrays her true purpose. Can I rely upon your eyes, Scion?
You have my thanks. Let us go, then, and take care not to alert our quarry.
