No, what I am saying is Victor was used as a hit man by someone because he didn't know either party. Ripping someone's heart out, even from miles away is a very personal killing.
The problem with saying Marcone was the real target is at that point though it rapidly changed,
he was still on the fringe of the supernatural world at that point. So the crime itself made no
sense at all on a lot of levels.

In terms of the plot, the killing was a message. I can reach you anywhere, at any moment. And you use the tools that you are good with. In this case magic and ritual. So a message directed at Marcone. And he would have known what it was. Much as everyone knows what bodies hanging off overpasses in Mexico is communicating.

Except that Marcone didn't want Harry to look into it, on the contrary.. In the soul gaze Harry got
no indication that Marcone saw it as a message of any kind to him. So if it was the kind of message to Marcone that you are implying it failed totally. Marcone wanted to deal with it in his own way
without interference. If it was intended as a message to Marcone, who ever sent it was totally
misreading the man.

This seems to me to be very, very possible! Well into "probable" in fact... ;)

I don't think a soulgaze works that way. It's totally non-telepathic, there's nothing about current situations, tactical evaluations, planning, etc.

Harry described Marcone from the soul gaze as a man as cold as a featureless stainless steel fridge..
That is the kind of man that even the type of murder that his man suffered wouldn't be freaked at all
by it. So yeah, the soul gaze told Harry a lot about what Marcone would do.. That is one of the points of them, by giving a read on the type of person you are dealing with, thus predicting what they did do, would do, and will do..
