peregrine:
My theory that is entirely unsupported but mostly fits and seems to be consistent with the way he works is as such;

Lord Raith's protection is provided by HWWB.

But it is paid for by the women he manipulates to perform the ritual.  Which is to say they are the ones who go on the hook for it, and ultimately are the ones who suffer/are consumed, much like Charity's cult leader and his sacrifices.

Goodman Grey fights in the Oblivion War! "It'll probably show up in the spin-off series".

Also, further hinting that George Washington was a Knight of the Cross, and that the sword of Hope would have been a very handy thing to have a Valley Forge. Which is very cool to me.

Maybe cool, but the KotC are such obvious good guys that it's probably a bad idea to clearly assign them to sides in anything but the most obvious good v bad conflicts (or explaining the "normal" conflict was just a cover for the supernatural destruction, as I imagine the efforts to bring down Kemmler during WW1).

raidem:
That is an awesome theory Peregrine.  I like it.

He is using the sorceresses to make some deal to extend protection to Lord Raith.  I'd allow though for other beings than just HWWB to be the ultimate shielder.

He was already toeing that line with Charlemagne (who, sure, was enormously significant in his time ... but also perpetrated his share of atrocities).
