Tien Chi Default

They have the same stealth as the spies that are available to Ulm or Marignon, but cost 10 gold more. They will be found quite easily in an opponent's capital if the initial province defense is still there. It should only take about 25-40 units patrolling to find it in a few turns otherwise. Black Forest Ulms Members of the Second Tier are considerably more stealthy and also have astral 2, blood 1. They can cast ritual of returning to make it much harder to actually kill them.

Actually no they don't. Spies have +20 stealth; Consorts have +30. Send a spy to incite unrest in an enemy capital and they are immediately uncovered (i just tested this) - like i said before ive NEVER had a Consort be uncovered.

Members of the Second Tier cost 160 gold and have the same +30 stealth rating. Per gold consorts are much more efficient at causing unrest (obviously). For other uses, perhaps, the Illuminati are better.
