You can believe anything you want, but that's not what the book says. The book says that the Skinwalker was working for the Black Council.

I guess there may have been a bit of extra motivation there... ?
But that's a long way from anything like a long-term plot or plan to take revenge.
It was... What... 30-40 YEARS after Morgan lured the Naagloshi to it's doom, until Morgan died... And that just doesn't build up a fearsome rep. I can't believe that they couldn't have tracked him down if they wanted to. Morgan was in the field a LOT, they'd have found him if they wanted to.
They just don't care enough. Humans don't MATTER enough to them; no human does. Not even one who killed another Naagloshi.

They do when it has a goal, it says outright it will kill every last one of Harry's friends, of those associated with Morgan unless he is turned over to it.. A thing that can focus like that does care, it lives off of fear.. Not caring would make it indifferent..

Isn't that just a theory of Murphy's that is highly compelling instead of an express statement of fact? Note: Murphy doesn't theorize that it's the "Black Council," but whoever killed LaFortier.

Hmmm.
I still think that they could have found Morgan much sooner if they had wanted to; I can only conclude that they didn't care enough to do so.
That said, I think you are right, that they DID have an extra edge of hate and animosity for Morgan, a grudge they had nursed down the decades. I found as much in some WoJ's I was looking at last night.
I guess I just have to put it down to the inhuman perspective of the Naagloshi, that they might be nursing a grudge for decades, have it really easy (for them) to go out and get their revenge, and still not DO it... :o
But yeah -- WoJ says you're right, Morgan was extra-specially on their ShitList.
