Would the Knights have gone after the Denarians in the beginning of SmF if...

...Harry hadn't touched Lasciel's coin?

Because the main objection they had was that they couldn't just hunt down Denarians pre-emptively--but at that point, hunting down where the Denarians were hiding would constitute a rescue mission. So I'm wondering how much their concern that Harry was leading them into a trap factored in.

Con:
I mean Michael's family the Carpenters were attacked by Gruffs, so that pretty much meant their inclusion. But yes the Knights were concerned about Harry, as the conversation about "Harry where is your blasting rod?" was pretty much all about that.

While Michael may distrust Harry it is the idea of murdering without waning that Michael is against.

“Agreed,” Sanya said firmly. “Take the initiative. Find him and hit the snake before he can coil to strike.”
Michael shook his head. “Brother, you forget our purpose. We are not given our power so that we can strike down our enemies, no matter how much they might deserve it. Our purpose is to rescue the poor souls trapped by the Fallen.”

--- Quote ---“You want to talk to them?” I asked Michael. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“I didn’t say that,” Michael replied. “But I will not set out to simply murder them and have done. It’s a solution, Harry. But it isn’t good enough.

Yeah, but he could just say, "I'll help you rescue Marcone, but I'm not going to just kill the Denarians we meet--they must be given a chance to find redemption."

Con:
Isn't that what he did?
