Venatori Umbrorum are fighting the Oblivion war aren't they? Fighting the Old Gods? If the Thule Society is in deed the opposite, wouldn't it stand to reason that they are the ones working for them? Just seems weird to think that the Thule Society is on the opposite side of the Venatori, but are no longer relevant. The name drop by Jim seems important. If it doesn't move the story forward why even mention them?

Thematic elements, connections to story and character archetypes and actions are likely if not plausible. Have to wait til briefcase to read it myself I think ;'(

Not exactly. There is a smaller more covert organization within the Venatori Umbrorum that is fighting the Oblivion War. Most members within the larger organization don't even know it exists, let alone its true purpose. Thomas and Lara Raith are members of that smaller group, though I can't remember it's name. (I don't have my copy of Side Jobs with me.) Anyway, that is why the average member of the Venatori Umbrorum wouldn't see the Thule Society as its exact opposite.

Perhaps it's like that with the Thule Society.. Most are not that big of a deal but there is a smaller inner circle that are even more dangerous.

Even though we don't know very little about the Thule society that makes sense. Another possibility is the Thule society is a precursor to the Black Council. Perhaps the goals of both groups aren't an exact match, but there is a general overlap in attitudes and beliefs so the creation of the Black Council/Circle is a natural outgrowth from the Thule society.

Come to think of it is their any evidence that aside from Cowl and Kumori that the Black Council is a group and not Nemesis just infecting individuals via Cowl and associates?
