--- Quote from: CrusherJen on October 04, 2020, 02:40:51 AM ---The thing is, Thorned Namshiel has been keeping a very low profile. So how would he come to the attention of the Knights? As far as they know, Marcone's a vanilla mortal crimelord, which isn't great, but not anything the Swords were meant to deal with. And they've got twenty-nine other Denarians (give or take) keeping them busy.

If Marcone and Namshiel do something obviously supernaturally evil, then yes, I'd expect the Knights to become aware and act as a counter. But until then (or until Harry lets it slip), I expect they will continue to slide under the Swords' radar.

The Knights does not know, but TWG knows. And like I said, I doubt that Marcone has not use this new power to do things, most likely bad things. The problem is the fact that the KoTC is not prompted by the upstairs to do something in regards to Marcone. This meant, whatever Marcone has done with Namsiel's power , it does not alarm the forces of Heaven. Which means, just because you held a coin does not nescesarily mean you become the target of the knights in an official capacity.

morriswalters:
The Knight's never attack the coins first.  That's settled in Small Favor. And balancing the evil done by the coins does not mean that the swords are always directed at things that the coins may be doing.  There is plenty of other evil to balance.  As in Sanya joining the fight in Changes and Murphy's action in the charge up the pyramid. Or as in Michael's actions in Proven Guilty.

Everybody not a mortal is a monster.  Mortals may be but everyone else is.  Which is settled at the end of BG.  Thing of note. If Marcone is acting freely it's because it is in Namshiel's interest for him to do so.  Which seems a weird position for Marcone to put himself into. But I think Jim fell off the bus anyway.

Eleyctra:

--- Quote ---One thing I notice is the fact that Marcone has been holding and using Namsiel's coin for years now and the KoTC has not even reacted. No mission from above, no divine revelation, nothing. Assuming that Marcone has not done any bad things with this power all this time, I doubt anyone would believed it. This should tell us something.
--- End quote ---

There should be some consideration on this theory that Marcone had enough will power (without doubt) and knowledge (also without doubt after hiring his 'magic counselor' Gard), that he didn't pick up the coin for some time. He likely held out until things got truly dicey for him. Like maybe after Harry's death and the fomor kept causing harm in his city and his people.

Kinda like Harry taking up Mab's offer of more power as a Winter Knight when he was backed into a wall, maybe Marcone's timing of picking up the coin was only very recently.

Bad Alias:
Answering the question of when Marcone took up the coin is an interesting one. I noticed in BG that Marcone didn't care about the huntsmen going after children. Whenever he stopped caring for children might indicate when he took up the coin.
