Some documents for you:

Rainier's report: Recomendation to all Neophytes: All Order transmissions we've intercepted come from either a Matriarch or Crusader and due to the religious nature of this group, it is incredibly easy to exploit this. There have been many occasions where either one of my peers or myself have infiltrated an Order facility just by pretending to be a Crusader or some other high-ish ranking officer.

Warning: this isn't completely foolproof. Obviously, you can't rely on the 'surprise inspection' gambit and the trick generally only works on the stupidest of Grunts. Inquisitors and Crusaders report directly to the Matriarch and are thus much more difficult to fool and in more recent incursions, an Inquisitor is among or nearby a patrol to resolve situations.

Anise's report: attached is what appears to be a list of visitors/deliveries to an Order facility. It seems our Grimm-loving, flame-throwing friends have steeped up security. Now they've a VIP list and big muscley bouncers to boot. I'd still expect tight security, but now we've an idea of what names we can drop/cosplay to get in.

[rest of report, not relavent]

attached is what appears to be a list of orders, hand signed by a Matriarch Lorenzo. This. is. rich. It seems in the interest of security, only what's on this document is officially Order and anything else is not. On one hand, I can see how this can improve security; it's moreorless an extension of a need-to-know system. Heck, this is the first copy I've ever seen myself. I theorize that field troops and turncoats are expected to memorize their orders and then burn the document. The problem is that once someone like me gets ahold of a copy, the regidity is so painfully exploitable it's hilarious.

Intercepted field call from Matriarch Alvernod to unknown Commander

MA: This is Matriarch Alvernod, and thus was born the Corvus...

UC: ...the one to claim the skies and purify the earth from above. What is your request?

MA: Team 4 has completed their operation. Allow them passage in late evening. Alvernod out.

Long story short, crazy cat lady here would already know who the mole is WAY before this operation even started. The fact that she herself reports to a Matriarch also doesn't help Azzie all that much. Dropping Matriarch names (cell structure, so she'd only know Creatore) only ever works on grunts and even then, you have to have arrived at the right time and place. Even then, you'd need a passphrase which are updated every operation and each is unique to each squad/cell.
