His assignment was to travel to Ireland and formulate the strategic military plans for an armed rebellion against British rule, relying on trained American Civil War veterans. Double Agent - Despite his high standing in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (he was briefly appointed its provisional military head in 1865), Millen betrayed the movement. In 1866, he went to the British consul in Mexico City and sold out the entire infrastructure of the Fenian plot to Dublin Castle. He spent the next two decades infiltrating Irish nationalist organizations (like Clan na Gael) as a well-paid British spy.
