Exactly. And now he's got great plans for his new empire.

With all the buildup it's gotten that'd be a bit disappointing.

It'd be only one aspect of the plot, and only the motivation for one mortal participant in an eternal war between gods.
In my mind mind, Cowl being a cackling mad wizard trying to give reality over to Outsiders so he can lick their feet is a bad motivation. Anything humanizing and relatable that gets twisted by corruption would seem to be better.

I suspect it has already happened off the page. Battle Ground was the final series of events that started with Changes. There are a few pointers, most of the North American contingent sidelined or dead. Carlos telling Harry that the Council thinks it can dictate to Eb and make it stick. Morgan gone. Luccio sidelined. This is how it works. There is no indication that the Circle was exclusively Cowl and that others weren't waiting to take control quietly, politically.

Why wasn't The Merlin in PT. He is an excellent politician so I would think he would have been the best one for the job of smoothing things over between Accorded Nations. Why would he send Cristos an inferior politician unless he had something else going on or an ulterior motive?
