Black Council "Recruitment" [GS Spoilers]
Starshine:
Going back to Ferrofax at the party - yes, it's true he received a gift but Im not sure that means anything. Every invited [non-RC] guest received a gift - that was part of the etiquette - I dont think the fact that he was a guest and received a gift means he couldnt also be BC.
The BC used this set-up [of gift-giving] to their advantage to give Lea the "poisoned" knife . But so far we dont have any evidence that any of the other gifts were tainted. And every guest there got one - including Mavra, Harry and Thomas. We havent seen any evidence yet that Thomas was affected, and the headstone was just a headstone.
So I would say, they used the opportunity to specifically target Lea, not necessarily everyone else.
TheCuriousFan:
What did Mavra get again?

Thomas got a one way vacation. I don' see how airline ticket and hotel reservations are tainted. I think they wanted Justine (for Bianca) and him gone or dead, the message is go away, don't come back and we want your tasty girlfriend. I have no idea what Mavra got. You don't give away major gifts away without them meaning something. Harry got a tombstone and cemetary plot because they were letting him know he will die shortly. Mr Ferro got a major gift and even he was impressed. It means something like he won't intervene against the RC or Black Council or something like that or he owes them a favor.
Vairelome:
Mavra was given Amoracchius and an innocent victim, so she could unmake it right there at the party. It was obviously something of a setup, considering that Bianca had just been given the sword by Lea, in exchange for the athame.
I've mentioned it at least once before, but I quite liked the attention to detail in the balance of exchanging Amoracchius for the athame. Amoracchius/Excalibur was once the personal weapon of King Arthur. The athame was once the personal weapon of Morgan LeFay, who was Arthur's half-sister.

With the exception of Mr. Ferro, every gift was meant to create a disturbance or doubt within the receiver. Lea got hit hard; because she is big power. Harry has looked at his tombstone and questioned his actions. Thomas and the ticket was the easy way out that he tried to take too late.
