* In ''The Tiara of Oribal'', Arbacès sent his spy, Sirdar, to infiltrate [[LaResistance the resistance city]] and steal the king's tiara. Sirdar put up an act and fake being in distress so he can be brought inside the city. After several minutes no one came to rescue him, as he realized that all the guards are inside the city walls, celebrating their king's return. Sirdar then has to move closer to put up his act again.
* Also in ''The Tiara of Oribal'', Sirdar reaches his master Arbacès at their camp. [[MrExposition Sirdar then explains in great detail]] how [[LiteralCliffhanger he fell off a cliff and narrowly caught a ledge.]] After faking his death, Sirdar adds that Alix will most likely rejoin his army and attack their camp now. [[SurroundedByIdiots Arbacès calls him an imbecile]] and says he should have said that last part first, as he rushes to raise the alarm.
