WOJ: Hexenwufl solved

<< < (7/21) > >>

Shamshiel:
I thought it was the goblin Lord Orduluka, or Rafforut, in the Erlking's court, not the Erlking himself.

Richard_Chilton:
Why does the source of the Hexenwulf belts have to be a heavy weight?

When asked about the belts, Bob said that a sorcerer (someone who isn't even a wizard) could make them.  While wearing a belt (and admittedly not thinking that clearly) Harry didn't think that he would have any problem making up a batch of them.

Later in that book, Harry is thinking "Someone taught Victor and someone made those belts - are they connected", not "someone taught Victor and something incredibly powerful made those belts - are they connected".

Now the sorcerer (or wizard) making the belts might have make a deal with something powerful for the power to make the belts (Bob hinted that the power came from Down Below, as in the Fallen or some other demon) but once he had that power he could hand them out like candy.

Why don't I think it was the Erlking who was behind the belts? Because of the character taken on by those who wore them.  The FBI agents didn't become predators, they became evil predators, acting more wicked than the Erlking seems to be.

Seems to me like Peabody is a good candidate.

He wrote the book on how to summon the Erlking, which upon being summoned immediately tried to begin the wild hunt. Which kinds of indicates that it was a personal area for extensive research for him.

He is a wizard fairly capable. He was fairly high up in the White Council.

He has used black magic, AND He has black magic to control minds.

He (presumably) is in league with the Black Council/Circle. Though thinking on it, you would think he would of had a copy of his book lying around to help out Cowl and Kumari which suggests a certain individuals acting for the same greater goals but without contact esk feel to the Black Council. Sorry rambling there.

Just my two cents.

Richard_Chilton:
I'm not sure if everyone who showed up was on the Black Council.  Rather, most of them seemed to be Kemmlerites.  Cowl seemed to be a member of the Black Council who was irritated by the actions of Kemmler's apprentices - upset that they were going to upset his plans.

And he was gathering the books so that the others couldn't use them.

So why get Bob?
a) Bob is a very valuable resource.
b) it explains how he knew what he knew.  Without Bob being there, people might have wondered "how did Cowl know all that? Who told him?" but with Bob around, why would anyone look any further than Bob?

Of course, all of this is conjecture.

Richard

Ms Duck:
I suspect the Black council had agents in each of the major powers, and that cowl was their agent in kemmler's legion of doomy doom doom.
