Origins of the Three Eye drug. (Changes spoiler)
Pnt:
I've got a few opinions on the Three Eye drug and are ole friend Victor. Victor Sells didn't seem smart enough to have created the drug on his own and what were his motives for making it at all? He already had the Beckitts for financial support so it wasn't for money. Apparently it was incredibly addictive and as Harry explained the after affects of seeing the world as it truly is would leave you insane. Not to mention a target for any magical creature that wants to keep itself hidden in society. Also we learn from Changes that the spell was Victor was using to rip out people's hearts is the same spell that the Red King intended to use against Maggie Jr and her blood line. But we don't know that it originated from the Red King. It makes sense that whoever taught Victor Sells the curse probably taught him how to make the Three Eye drug also. But I don't see why the Red King would give anybody the ability to see past their flesh masks least we have another Stocker-geddon like what happened to the black court. I don't even think the White Court would want this. They would be almost as vulnerable as the Reds. Another thing, we never see the Red King use magic, just his will. My opinion is that the Red King and Victor Sells learned about the curse from someone else, someone who wants the vanilla mortals to be aware of how the world truly is.
Linamar:
You're right, Victor wasn't smart enough to make the 3 eye drug on his own. Whoever taught him magic must have been the one who taught him how to make the drug. I'm not sure if it was to help reveal the Red Court, or if it was just an easy way to sow a lot of chaos. We'll find out, I suspect.
The Beckitts only supported Victor because he promised to bring down Marcone. If Victor hadn't been doing that, they wouldn't have been doing anything to help him. Nobody likes a squatter.
I think the Red Court already knew the curse. Vadderung said that the curse hadn't been used in thousands of years, but it had been around. Maybe there just wasn't a big enough target for the Reds to justify using that kind of power until now. Most likely, whoever taught Victor learned the curse from someone in the Red Court.
Electric MacButters:
Actuall, Victor contacted the Becketts to help him make more Three-Eye, not the other way around. Other than that one out of order issue, you do have a valid theory.
Personally, I think that the Three-Eye may be a by-product of some other potion that someone was trying to teach him. In SF Harry and Bob state several times that every potion recipie is different for every mage and will have slightly different effects depending on who made it. It could be that someone gave Victor his recipie for straight up crazy juce, but when Victor makes it it opens the user to The Sight.
sociotard:
yeah, one running speculation is that
*Person who gave Victor the Three Eye recipe to attack Marcone
*Person who gave hexenwulf belts to the FBI to attack Marcone
*Person who got Denarians to attack Marcone
are the same person. It makes me wonder if Marcone is even more important in the BAT than Harry is.

Or maybe, vic was having trouble getting his sight to open up and so the potion was made to knock him off the fence so to speak. And seeing how trippy it was (and hopelessly addictive) vic couldve seen the profit in it.
