He continued the pretense of being a loyal subject of the as the  escalated, while secretly becoming involved with the  and other anti-Imperial rebel groups. Ultimately, his allegiance was to no one but himself and his own power. The Aargauun leader sought to collapse the Empire's economy by forcing it into bankruptcy by military spending, at which point the Bank of Aargau would bail it out and take de facto control of its monetary policy.
