--- Quote from: Second Aristh on January 24, 2012, 06:14:26 PM ---Instead of a bunch of independent isolated cells of Black Council, it seems like the BC is more like a small group that contracts out its more visible actions. I believe we have actually seen very few BC members who are fully in the know, namely Cowl, Kumori, and maybe Peabody (I can't decide if Mavra is actually BC or not).
It seems like overall, the BC is set up like an octopus. It has a central core that sets goals, and many arms that don't really know about each other but will push people around according to what the BC leadership want them to do.

I agree with you - this is how I see the BC as well. A small group of powerful, dedicated individuals who try to manipulate events from behind the scenes and use catspaws to achieve their objectives. Cowl is a BC member, and Ferrofax is probably another. Kumori seemed like Cowl's assistant/apprentice [and I thought she died in DB?]. I dont think Peabody or Mavra are core BC members - neither of them seem strong enough. My guess - Peabody was being "run" by the other wizard who was with him on the island, and who is probably a senior council member and BC. Mavra is another catspaw who can be used to promote BC objectives.
I dont think any of the RC were BC members, though they were certainly egged on and supported by them. The BC tried to use the Red Court to destroy the WC and kill as many wizards as possible, because WC wizards are one of the groups strong enough to oppose them and their goals.
I think this is what scared Nic so much - to realize at least one Denarian has a very different agenda from the rest of them. Whether that Denarian is a BC member or another catspaw [although a powerful one], Im not sure.

We have WoJ that Kumori is still alive.

Yeah, we can’t get rid of her yet.

I like to imagine that the Black Court has a secret meeting place. On their wall is a Most Wanted poster of Harry wearing a Burger King crown and eating a whopper.

Though we cant be sure if Mavra's a team player or just playing teams against each other yet from the way Kincaid discribes her as world class bad news i'd be hesitant to write her off as a cats paw yet...remember we are getting this from a mercanary who was the right hand of Vlad Drakul for a time who can apparently take on Mab power wise. I figure Kincaid knows what he's talking about.
