Kid snatching is troll NATURE. Directed violence against a specific opponent of the Winter Queen is an exertion of her will through a tool.
Also, given what we've learned in CD, should we trust the job description of the Winter Knight we had up till now?

This is a good point. According to Bob, both the Summer and Winter Knight's job is whacking people for their Queen(s).
Admittedly, Fix may have been given bad and/or incomplete information, but I think he was probably closer to being right than being totally off target.
Lord Rae:
I'm betting that Maeve's orders to the knights mostly centered around killing people... Since we know she hasn't been doing her proper job for a while from her "I will never again be your little hunting falcon" jab at Mab I think she'd been perverting the winter Lady and Winter Knight gig for a while know. Be interesting to see more of what the Winter Lady's true role is in helping to hold off Armageddon. Might have to wait a book or two though.

Mab's comments in Changes at least strongly suggest the Hitman option. "You will destroy what I wish to destroy. Kill whosoever I wish you to kill." That doesn't mean that's the end all, be all of his role, though.

I personally don't think Maeve was corrupted until after Summer Knight, and I took the "hunting falcon" comment as her getting folks killed per Mab's orders. The scene where Harry uses the Mantle to try to get Maeve also strongly suggests that death dealing is a big part of it.

I think Maeve was infected just after Lea because it seems to me the first thing an infected Lea would do. Just after great peril.
Aurora would be the next step, Slate was there on Maeves orders and the infection of Aurora followed after Maeve's. Maeve already used the crazy nympho bitch act in summer knight for Harry so she did not have to answer questions and it worked.
Sending her handmaiden to spoil Billy and Georgia's wedding and even killing them has a strange feel to it. I think it is another sign of the infection. I do not think the Lady's task is to kill humans, the knight can do that. The Lady's task might be to kill everything else.
(click to show/hide)For example infected denarians in book 15 (maybe)

Just because Maeve wasn't corrupted yet doesn't mean she wasn't slacking off on the job.
