The Brute Squad
peregrine:
With the caveat that nobody in power would trust him to be on the Brute Squad.

Well, if you take that reference literally, the brute squad was just hired to get this one job done and it consisted of - I don't want to insult Fezzik, he's one of my favorite characters - people like Fezzik. ;)

Well from my understanding of what a Brute squad is, they don't seem to be trustworthy people. There is the Brute Squad from the Princess Bride, who were just hired thugs.
There is the urban dictionary definition: 1. A group of the most challenging guys around, merciless conscienceless heavies just who beat people up into the service of a boss or king.
The dictionary definition of brute: a savagely violent person or animal
So Harry does seem like that to someone from the White Council. He's the type they would call on when they really need help and are willing to risk bringing him on. A person you call last, and with a great deal of hesitation.

Yeah, but do you really see the White Council getting together a bunch of untrustworthy people all the time? I'm pretty sure the term was just Bob's sarcastic term for a shock troop squad or something like that, more official.
