Origins of the Three Eye drug. (Changes spoiler)

I don't see why it couldn't be Victor's own creation. We have only seen Harry make potions and he seems pretty terrible at it since Bob needs to constantly hold his hand.
Remember that Victor could easily have been experimenting on other people until he perfected the potion. He could have also been constantly perfecting the formula as he sold it until it became what Harry found. I doubt he ever took it himself at all, epecially since the original purpose seems like it was to make his wife and others see things like he could. When he gives it to his wife he acts very happy that its addictive like he didn't necessarily know before.

well i think you would be giving Victor too much credit. he has no idea that another wizard can take control of his demon he uses its name in front of Harry. he had no idea Harrry could mentally smack his shadow self. he only knows specific things that his teacher taught him and he worked on. he is a one trick pony.
Harry doesn't know most of the formula for the potions, Bob is his recipe book. those recipes are elementry compared to 3eye. Victor isn't a magic genius, 3 eye is like an advanced biochemistry, while Victor would be ranked elementry school chemistry. so no i think he was given the recipe and it took awhile for him to gain enough knowledge of his power to bring that potion to its fruition.
i think 3eye was meant to destabilize Chicago. if anyone knows how devestating the crack epidemic was, and 3 eye being more addictive, wow.

Sells' limited knowledge points to him NOT having a teacher, not not having a teacher.
I'd bet that he was self taught, using an extensive library of books, and *someone/thing* made sure those books were the real deal
Why make third eye? Because he can.
Why go to war with Marcone? Because Marcones in the way of his three eye trade

*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.

The red court wanted to expand in the chicago criminal underground so it makes sense to get rid of competition. That is marcone. Harry was not yet that important
The red court got help from wizzards (or the wizzards used them). I think they did not want to confront Harry because they hoped he would turn warlock and become a potential ally.
The denarians are not in this list because they captured marcone to get to Harry to get the Archive.
which lists them in order of importance. It tells something about the rise of Harry.

so how did he come up with the formula for 3eye? that is a far advanced potion. how did he get the bloodline curse? how did he get an extensive library as they would be expensive? and he was never said to have one just a few books. no he isn't self taught someone taught him specific things and set him on his path. someone had wanted Sells to do specific things, he was a tool. it is obvious.
so no if i wanted to make a weapon that could cause problems i could capitalize on, Sells would be it. i taught him enough to make 3eye to cause havok and a spell that would wipe out his enemies without a trace. yet still be inept enough that he would be no danger to me, and i could take care of easily later on if he became a problem. so no his limited knowledge ( which is advanced knowledge to be sure ) does not point to being self taught. it points to being taught enough to be usefull.
