In the game's words
How to use it
The Muhbir is an unique Ottoman spy available in the Commerce Age at the Mosque. Like the Spy the Muhbir has the Stealth ability and is highly effective against mercenaries and hero units such as Explorers and War Chiefs. For each eliminated threat the Muhbir is rewarded with a promotion that increases his combat abilities. When cornered by enemy troops Muhbirs will attack faster with decreasing hitpoints.
History
To rule and ensure the political stability of their ever-growing multicultural empire the Ottomans were in constant need of spies to keep an eye on the growing population. From the 15th to 17th century Muhbirs (Turkish for “informants”) were internal security forces mostly recruited from the local population as these agents could move freely within societies without arising suspicion. Over the centuries the spying efforts among European countries and within the Ottoman Empire itself became more and more sophisticated. This development prompted Sultan Abdul Hamid II to found the Yildiz Intelligence Agency at the end of the 19th century to provide more organized intelligence and respond to internal as well as external threats.
