Goodman Grey, nemfected?

(1/11) > >>

RobReece:
I can't remember if this had been discussed or not.  Probably had, but is there any consensus on if he was open to possession from the time he spent with Justine?

Conspiracy Theorist:
Goodman Grey is a single unaffiliated individual, his Nemfection would not advance Nemesis cause one jot.

Nemesis appears to be finite, incapable of mass infection. We know from the Corner Hounds that they can control a maximum of 13 bodies. Obviously controlling a powerful strong willed individual would be more difficult than a blank ectoplasmic body so that number is limited by the strength of the host, and their degree of cooperation.Note Justine simply didn’t infect Thomas, she revealed herself and blackmailed him.

I think Nemesis was overstretched as part may have been “Killed” with previous hosts (I think with Madeleine Lara consumed part of Nemesis) leaving Nemesis weak) I therefore think there wasn’t enough Nemesis to go around to infect Goodman Grey at that point.

Justine was especially vulnerable to Nemesis, Goodman Grey was not.

@Conspiracy Theorist:
I do hope you are right. Though the Leanandsidhe managed to get nemfected, and she is supposed to be powerful. What was her weakness?

I don't think Nemesis infects only the weak people, though it may be easier to gain access. I think the walker tries to infect people in a position near to those defending the gates, or better to say those who seem to play a role in preventing the Outsiders to become Insiders.
Does Grey play a role in this? No idea. He is not that close to anybody and  no one trusts him that much, so probably not a preferable host.

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Athame was a specially prepared vector, and Nemesis may have been stronger at that point, not having split up into multiple parts. We have no complete idea who really was infected and when.

raidem:
This is interesting. If Lea hasn't been 'cured' but treated, then it could be that nemesis in some capacity remains with her or with Mab/Winter's Heart.  That split of power is a significantly higher investment than likely those of mere mortals.  It could be that like others said that power in stasis has led to a weakening of Nemesis' power that can be utilized outside of that stasis.
