711 8 "the British Secret Service"
so I guess that's a slightly different contingent.  While
Theign is in the spy business, he does it for the Navy.

But the upshot is that Cyprian would have lost the
bet to Ratty: he wasn't able to seduce Theign to
the point of taking control.
Theign has the reins...

oh, and I just thought of something.
On page 707, where Theign is "tending to
various abrasions" - who's to say they are
Theign's own abrasions.
Much more characteristic for him to be
iodizing, balming or bandaging Cyprian, come to think of it.
