Since then, the spy duet has been featured in various media, like video games and an animated television series, and also available in merchandise as action figures and trading cards.

Description
SI:7 is the espionage and intel branch of the Alliance. They are based out of Stormwind City and headed up by Master Mathias Shaw. As of late, they have been acting, shall we say, peculiar. I would like for you to send some of our people out to assess the situation. It might be nothing, but I am not fond of situations that I do not fully understand. If we are going to win this war against the Burning Legion, the last thing we need is for something wholly unexpected to occur.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Body of Evidence
There is an urgent matter that requires your attention, <name>. The body of a woman with a knife in her back has turned up in the sewers. Normally, such a matter would be less than newsworthy... but this isn't your average cutthroat. It's an SI:7 operative!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Bloody Truth
We need to find out who is behind the assassination of Amber Kearnen. It won't be long before SI:7 realizes that their agent is MIA and comes sniffing around The Hall of Shadows. Here, take these stylish spy glasses and set them to scan for traces of hemoglobin.
