Turn back Now
I'm serious
In the aftermath of PT and BG, a lot of Carlos hate was thrown around on this site and others, Carlos is blind, dump, should trust Harry etc, etc. In the post 12 Months discussion there is little being said about Carlos and Harry interactions ,and Eb and Harry's interactions.
Carlos turns out to be on good terms with Harry while hiding it from the WC. He shows up several times even helps in a fight or two. But here's the thing. Carlos claims WC intelligence is 2nd to none in the presence of Molly and Lara when discussing how to gather info on their enemies implying its comparable or better than winter court spy network, the white court and mortal intelligence gathering. He isn't laughed out of the room.
Long tangent but hold on I'm getting to my point.
Eb says damn the Merlin for kicking Harry while doing so in a way that Harry thinks Is leaving a lot of information out.
To my point Carlos is young and he already knows Harry is on the level. The SC has networks of info, spys and spirits they can use to gather information on just about anyone yet they still don't trust Harry. The rank and file I get but seriously the older members of the council should know better. Harry is practically attached to the knights of the swords and the swords themselves. He owns a temple dog if nothing else ancient Mai should be on his side.
Is the SC council blind, dump or do they have something else planned because at this point their level of distrust for harry is
about to reach mission impossible levels of stupid. In the mission impossible movies series every movie the higher ups think Ethan has gone rogue hunt him then oops he was on our side repeat 8 times
