Spy
Sidney Reilly
Worked for British intelligence in Russia and was called the ace of spies, and much of what he claimed about himself cannot be verified. The Soviets executed him in 1925.
Sidney George Reilly, fictionalized as the "Ace of Spies", was a Russian-born adventurer and secret agent employed by Scotland Yard's Special Branch and later by the Foreign Section of the British Secret Service Bureau, the precursor to the modern British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6/SIS). He is alleged to have spied for at least four different great powers, and documentary evidence indicates that he was involved in espionage activities in 1890s London among Russian émigré circles, in Manchuria on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War (1904 to 05), and in an abortive 1918 coup d'état against Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik government in Moscow.
