The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
What happened to the rest of the Alpha's?
Con:
I've been thinking really that the Alpha's went from a pack of a dozen who went through at least two trial by fire's together, to about four or five at most.
The War Buddy Bond is tough to crack.
So what exactly happened to cause the Alpha's to split up. Because right now I'm thinking Billy's a pretty shit Alpha of the Alpha's if he lets 12 pack go down to 4 after they've already been through some bonding experience together.
We do have this WOJ.
quote=Jim Butcher]Q: What happened to the other Alphas?
A: Like happens with a lot of kids after college, they graduated and went their separate ways. Some of them wrote off the whole experience as the result of taking drugs in college. One ended up super religious. One ended up institutionalized. Given Kirby’s death, Billy is going to try to track down some of the group[/quote]
What was the catalyst for this? People don't wind up super religious or institutionalised or in deep denial without some sort of catalyst.

Side effect of "Marcie" the deep-cover supervillain messing with their heads?
He said, half-jokingly. Half.

Is Marci a wolf? I was thinking she was paranet... If she is wolfy, perhaps she is... I surmised the whole point of FM was to release the beast and cause the spell to break while finding another to Nfect with the spirit of rage. But Murphy killed Denton, the Alpha's are the ones who are left that could mirror the thing... I was thinking it was a lost Alpha gone beastial, but Marci would work.

There were 11-13 young people gathered together when Harry first saw them near the beginning of FM. But there were only five in wolf form on his raid at the end of FM.
Later, in SK, there 10-11 piled into the van to join him in the climactic battle. But that included Meryl and Fix, which puts the Alphas at 9-10. But then, a few pages later, it's half a dozen boy wolves and half a dozen girl wolves, bringing it up to a full dozen, assuming he's not rounding up.
But after that, I don't think we see them in any numbers greater than four or five. Personally, I'd chalk it up to them being high schoolers playing around with magic, but after the events of Summer Knight, a bunch quit, having seen the other things out there.

Griffyn, are you not in favor of the idea that Marci may be shady? Marci, Marcie, Marcy, how the heck is her name spelled?
