With secret agents I mean spies and professional assassins. I distinctly remember that the persian king (or his evil advisor) in the prince of persia movie had control over an entire school of trained killers.
Is that just a hollywood trope or does it have some truth to it?
Are you talking about a secrect police force or some form of guardian force that remains anonymous? I've watched a lot of novices with secrect agencies and they vary heavily between movies.
