Rereading PT...I never post, but hadn’t seen this thought yet and HAD to get your take...

But since Grey kept track of Justine in PT and got close to her...do you think Nemesis worked to infect him!?!? What a huge impact tii hi is could have, if so!!

Probably not. If Nemesis was mass spreading like a pandemic reality would have been over long ago.

His defending was more watching from a distance IIRC so he should be safe.
Currently dealing with a backlog of games.

If you want me to type up a book quote or find a WoJ quote, send me a PM.

Rest in peace mdodd.

Well, Jim wants to do some sort of spinoff with Grey, apparently beyond just the short story. So either no, or he's going to have to get better in a hurry.

I doubt it, he is a secret double agent, so Nemeses might still think he is working for one of it's allies.

Maybe. There's enough there for Harry to be exceptionally suspicious of him from here on out.

Perhaps, but you'd think that Vadderung would be on it, since he is one of his operatives.

I hope not, because I love Grey!
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Is he? Or has Vadderung just used him at some point. And if Mab and Titania can't figure out their respective daughters are infected, I wouldn't be surprised if Odin had trouble figuring out that a contractor he sometimes uses is infected.

Not saying it is impossible, but it depends when Vadderung aka Kringle aka Odin first bought him.
Skin Game pages 375-376  Harry questions because Grey is a mercenary, he can be bought.

Quote
Kringle sat back in his seat at that, considering the question.  Then he said
"If you buy this man, he stays bought.  It's who he is."
I arched an eyebrow.  "You are asking me to trust a stranger's professional integrity?"
"I wouldn't do that," Kringle said. "I'm asking you to trust mine."

Lord knows I could be wrong, but I believe that Odin would know if Grey was infested.

If it was that easy, I don't think Nemesis would be that much of a threat.

  Odin can't be everywhere any more than Harry can.  Nemesis isn't just one thing.

Perhaps, but the point he was making to Harry is what counts.

I take that to mean that Odin bought Grey a long time ago.  Grey may subcontract, but he still belongs to Odin.  Not saying it is impossible that he'd get infected with Nemesis, just saying that I
think it improbable.

I think he may have hired him from time to time. I don't think he owns him and hires him out.
