Infected by Nemesis. What do know about how and when. What we don't know.

I disagree with that, Nemesis does plan, the gift of the infected knife to Lea in Grave Peril is one of the early examples we know of.. The plan was to infiltrate the Winter Court, it was successful, Lea infected, Mab most likely infected, both realized it and hopefully cured themselves, Maeve not so lucky, dead, we don't know how Cat Sith became infected but he is now dead as well. Long term goals require planning, a foundation has to be set down before one can even think of achieving the goal. Nemesis may seem like an agent of chaos because that is the result of many of their plans, but in every case that chaos was created with a goal in mind.. We all have surmised that Aurora was infected, up for debate if Elaine was the agent or not, but there was a plan behind it.. Aurora was stopped by Harry, but even her death furthered the goals of Nemesis. Call it luck, but when Aurora died her mantel went to the nearest vessel, who was Lily. No, I am not saying she was infected, but Lily was a lot less capable, as in not having the knowledge or the tools to become a Lady of the Summer Court. Thus it was much easier for Infested Maeve to dupe her, and we saw the result of that.

1. It can't be detected except through the Sight (presumably only mortals and certain immortals can see it), but this is dangerous
...
2. It is less of a planner and more an "agent of chaos" like the Joker in the Dark Knight, or Jack Sparrow (if you're feeling cheeky). It simply does "things" and sees what end it creates. It all furthers it's long term goal.

3. We have no idea what a "Walker" is but that title keeps coming up, and suggests even among Outsiders the Walkers are special.

I don't think the Sight is reliable... not even good at it... more like "not as useless as most methods." The Gatekeeper is an anti-Outsider specialist and he can't be sure, even after a careful examination.
Nemesis, I think, is very much a strategic planner. If only from the perspective of who it chooses to Nemfect
I think there are 3 Walkers -- HWW Behind, Before, & Beside. Lash said the Walkers were "Knights" of the Outsiders, exceptionally dangerous even amongst dangerous foes.

I believe that Rashid warned Harry about using the sight because while it may be effective the damage he did to himself wasn't worth the risk and Harry was reminded of what looking at the Skinwalker did to him. And he saw in Rashid's face when he said that that he had suffered similar
damage from this. Rashid then pointed to his false eye, which isn't made of steel as it appears away from the Gates, but to be made of the same material as the Gates, and was given to him by the Fates if I remember correctly. Even using that tool, Rashid said it was still difficult to be able to spot who was infected and who was not.
Con:
I suspect the limit to how many he can infect is 13.
It's a pretty powerful number all round, but both Cornerhounds and Hunstmen of the Outside come in groups of 13.

Yeah, but again, we need more information.. So Nemesis is limited to infecting 13, a more important question is can each of those thirteen pass the infection on to thirteen others and so on?
