Within the Directorate General of External Security (DGSE), a department called the Bureau of Legends (BDL) trains and remotely directs the “clandestines”, the most important agents of the French foreign intelligence services.

Operating in the shadows, “sous légende,” that is, under a fabricated identity, they live for many years in permanent concealment.
