Dangers & Hazards

Ambassador Assistants must endure several tests and background checks before they can be considered loyal and worthy to work by their assigned ambassador's side. Because there is much confidentiality involved in the role, they are forced to sign several Non Disclosure Agreements. Though many go through all necessary requirements, some assistants still prove to be untrustworthy.
