Cairo, 1110

Two men entered into a small chamber. Room had no windows and the few candles didn't show much light.

"He is here, My Lord" said one of them.

The other one, papers in his hands, looked around but did not see anyone. Once the guard left someone spoke from the darkest part of the room.

"So what did you found out?" the voice asked.

Although still not seeing anyone the man started his raport..

"This is all what we wound on this man so far..

Name: Efstathios Laskaris

Birth place: Estate of the Laskaris', near Constatinople

Son of Nicholas and Isabel Laskaris

He is considered quite intelligent. Also he seems to be a man of faith.

But the following things makes us worry..

In 1071 he lost his grandfather from fathers side in Manzikert and in the same year his grandfather from mothers side was killed near Bari by the Normans.
His father was killed in Alexandria in 1087. He was accused being a spy but there is no proofs that he really a spy.
And in 1090 his mother and younger brother was killed by the pirates who were supposedly on the Venetian pay-roll.

After those losses he have started to hate the surrounding nations. He could cause a headache to us.

The last news are that he joined the Crusade. Against what city it was called it is uncertain but I think he have joined the Western Christians in a Crusade to "liberate" Jerusalem.

This is all at the moment."

The man stops speaking.

"Go! That is all" the mysterious voice said.

After the man, most likely the head of the Egyptian spies, left from the room the mysterious man said quietly to him self..

"How long to I need to Hear that damned name. When will the last Laskaris be dead!?
I must use my power as a Chancellor of the Fatimid Caliphate so that Caliph would make every effort to kill him! I got rid of his father and now it is time to do so with the son."

Saying this he left the room through a secret door.
