In fact, this was established as the normal ways things operate very early in /Jhereg/ when Vlad expressed surprise that the Demon would contract with him (er, with his 'Friend', I mean) directly, rather than by going through about 4 levels of intermediaries. Also, we see this reinforced in Teckla when Bajinok approaches Vlad to (presumably) kill Franz, on behalf of Herth (Who may have been acting on behalf of Torronan, who may have been taking orders from Boralinoi...).
