    What about Tripitaka when he spied on Monkey, or should he be a Great Prophet?

        Awww, I didn't make the list.

          There is one notable exception from that list...and quite a few who ought to be GG instead of GS.
          You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

            He was the assassin companying Jin Ke, the famous Chinese assassin who made a failed attempt at Qin Shi Huang. Wuyang got nervous when Jin Ke and him presented themselves as envies at Qin's court. He didn't even get close to the emporer.
            the only known spies are the ones that failed, Its impossible to make a list of the best spies. They are only know to a few people and never exposed ...

              Yes! Spy names should not be recognizable.
              Seriously, though. Names like "Random" (or Random).

                Actually, there are quite a few intelligence agents and cryptographers in the list who were successful, but obviously weren't well known at the time they did their work. The people at Bletchley Park come to mind.

                Of course, the average person probably doesn't know about them.

                  Burgess, McLean, Philby, Blunt for modern era English spies (IIRC Anthony Blunt was the only one who was successful, ie undiscovered)

                          If my memory serves, Blunt was discovered in the 1960s, but the business was kept secret; Thatcher outed him about 20 years later and he was stripped of his knighthood and other honors, but IIRC not receive other punishment.

                          Of those, I'd give the 'most successful' title to Philby, because he did by far most damage before fleeing to Russia.

                            No Aldrich Ames? Richard Hanson? John Walker? Kim Philby?

                            Man, I wish I knew how to edit the Great Person lists. They're all missing people.

                                Psss, James Bond is scottish, everyone knows that

                                Anyways, Guy Fawkes FTW, but dont let him hang out anywhere near MY palace !
