If a family is well known - IC or OOC - for spying, it seems perfectly reasonable - and perfectly sensible - to not put a new member of that family into a position where they can more easily spy on your realm until they have earned some trust. If a Leonidas appeared in my realm, for example, he would not be assigned a position from which he could gain knowledge of army orders because that family are well known spies and traitors. Assuming that character was allowed to remain in my realm at all.
