Bruna
Status
Active NPC - Caliphate spy
Overview
Bruna is a spy working for the Caliphate, tasked with monitoring Alaric of Toulouse (whom she refers to as "A" in her reports). She operates under the weight of family obligation and blood oaths, making her duty both personal and binding.
The Letter
Bruna received instructions from someone within the Caliphate hierarchy:
"Bruna,
Remember the blood that binds you and the oaths that hold. Your duty to your family remains paramount. Continue your reports on "A" without fail. We depend on your eyes and ears.
Act with diligence.
[Seal of the Caliphate]"
Mission Details
Target: "A"
- Monitoring Alaric of Toulouse
- Required to provide continuous reports on his activities
- Her surveillance is considered critical by her handlers
Motivations
The letter emphasizes several binding factors:
- Blood bonds - Family connections tie her to this work
- Oaths - She has sworn obligations to fulfill
- Family duty - Her service is explicitly familial, not just professional
- Dependence - Her handlers rely heavily on her intelligence
Position
Bruna is strategically placed to observe Alaric's activities in the Zaragoza region. She likely:
- Has cover that allows access to his movements
- Reports regularly to Caliphate officials
- May be aware of his past as a Frankish spy

Implications

- Track Alaric's knowledge of covert operations
- Monitor his connections to other spies
- Assess threats he poses to Caliphate interests
- Provide early warning of Frankish activities
