Augen Trust

The  is the Dwendalian crown's spy network. It is in some ways a competitive force with The Cobalt Soul, in that they frequently butt heads, often finding themselves in similar spaces going for similar information, but for different reasons. The Augen Trust are very competitive and tense about achieving their own unique ends. The Augen Trust and the Volstrucker network also check each other's power, despite nominally being on the same side.

When the Empire and the Cerberus Assembly were searching for Vence Nuthaleus, Martinet Ludinus Da'leth told the Mighty Nein that the investigations were being handled by both the Augen Trust and members of the Assembly.

The secret head of the Augen Trust is Oliver Schreiber.

Trivia

 * "Augen" is the Zemnian (German) word for "eyes."
 * Matt had a story planned for the case in which the Mighty Nein had chosen to work with the Empire at the start of the War of Ash and Light. Had they pursued that option, they would have begun working closely with the Augen Trust.
