Allan consistently offers advice and strategic intervention just when each successive world leader needs it most. The irony is further heightened by the fact Allan rarely, if ever, attempts to offer his services or knowledge with any forethought or planning. Rather, he is recruited by circumstances and later agents of various leaders (once his reputation and name becomes known in powerful inner circles).
