Was Ascher telling the truth?

--- End quote ---
He probably didn't see it as chaining himself. From a certain point of view, it might look like additional freedom.
For all his raw power, there were probably still some sort of restrictions on what the Genoskwa could do with his power on his own. Every supernatural nation we've seen seems bound by its own internal codes, and balances of power with its neighbours. The Bigfoots seem to be pretty strongly isolationist on the topic of not drawing attention - I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of his hate for River Shoulders was due to resenting that the "lotus eaters" could and would gang up on him if he indulged himself too far against humanity.
Joining the Denarians is really only 'chaining yourself' if you don't like their core objectives. If you're supportive or neutral to their overarching mission, wearing their hat instead of the one you were born with gives you a certain degree of latitude to indulge in bloodlust without blowback from your birth nation.

The Bigfoots seem to have peaceful natures, not prone to violence or anger. Not to say that they never fight; but, are very reluctant to get dark. But, every once and a while, some is born with a tendency to go against the grain and be a real A$$H@\E.

I believe Geno and River shoulders are different sects of their species. Like winter to summer fae.
Rasins:
I tend to agree with Mira here.
I'll add that if you are accused of killing someone in self defense, then you kill some cops because you are afraid they are going to kill you, you won't get a second chance. You will be taken out.
I see the council doing the same thing when their cops are killed by someone.
wardenferry419:
Agreed, and more so since it involves magic.
