Yep. Don't forget that while the Knights are the flashy fighting
types, all the Society's peers are fully qualified Jedi, and <ahem>
diplomatic missions of great secrecy are part of our stock in trade.

I got my secret first diplomatic mission to another kingdom while the
ink on my promissory Laurel Scroll was yet damp (great intrigue about
a Gold Thread Embroiderer from Meridies, details to be published only
after the deaths of everyone involved, with names suitably changed),
and I am even now in consultation with the head Llama in Lhassa,
being inducted into the Order of Saint Stanislaus, solving the
Schleswig-Holstein Question while brushing up on my Baritsu (the
Japanese system of wrestling), travelling in disguise as a blind
Norwegian violinist named Siegerson, and working with the Laurellate
of a Certain Kingdom to the Northwest of my own.

Obviously, changing Drakey's name to Master Ebenezer Pampelmusse will
be mere child's play to one of my powers...
