  You will need to find a warchief that has two or more body guards. Mind control the body guards and make them into spies. You will unlock a new mission to betray them. Start up the mission and the achievement should be yours.

  Just for someone who just started the game I recommend to do this achievement before end of Act 3 because in Act 4 it will be sooooooooo time consuming

  I had to do this twice. The first time, with two spies, the achievement didn't unlock. Read another comment in another glitchy achievement thread that power cycling might help so that's what I did. Converted all of the war chief's bodyguards first until the betrayal mission popped up. Then restarted my console, force quit the game, and then started it back up and started the mission. Popped instantly.

  Is this possible to do in anyway after completing all of the siege missions? I 100% completed the main quests but missed this achievement when playing through

  During Act 2 you can start to dominate Orcs.
  Pick any fortress and find a Warchief with at least two Bodyguards.
  Find the bodyguards and dominate them. On the second city you go to during this act you can send them to become spies after dominating by pressing . Do this for all bodyguards and a new mission called "betrayal" will spawn. Complete this to unlock the achievement.
  
  If the weakest Warchief doesn't have any bodyguards, go to "Army" and select a warchief. Press to command and then hover over the Warchief and press . This'll set up a new mission for the fighting pitt. If you're Captain is successful, he'll become the warchiefs bodyguard (spy for you).
