Governor of Stuttgart, Grand Admiral (R.M)
Rheinlander Ally
N/A
Available Information
Admiral von Thielau has proven to be one of the Service's more unlikely allies in various operations within Rheinland. A member of the old nobility, von Thielau has repeatedly expressed a desire to return Rhineland to the Imperial state it once was and sees the Service as a means to achieving that goal. To that end he has often provided not just safe haven but valuable intelligence and diplomatic sanction when required making his work with the Service a state secret. Von Thielau does not actively partake in intelligence gathering or the recruitment of agents or assets, rather it is to be understood he identifies our ability to usurp the Rhineland Government as proof the Republic has failed. His loyalty is not to Bretonia, it is to Rhineland and to the newly crowned Emperor Albrecht. The Emperor likely is aware of his ongoing involvement with the Service but is content for now to leave this arrangement be. Agents are to be warned however, activity within Rhineland is to be avoided unless express permission is granted, furthermore while von Thielau is an ally, he will not hesitate to break relations if he perceives our existence or presence within Rhineland as a threat. The Admiral is both intelligent and politically connected, he remains a steadfast ally of the SIS in Rhineland provided that our relationship continues to be beneficial. Agents are forbidden to directly contact Admiral von Thielau unless prior permission is received from the Director.
