Granted our exposure to him is limited; but, he really does scream to me "douchy used car salesman."

He certainly does to Harry; don't we have enough examples of Harry's prejudices and blindspots by this point to take those with a grain of salt ?

[Kindler]

Christos came off as a quisling to me in Changes. It looks like he's actively aiding the Red Court.

[Arjan]

More important the rest of the senior council does not seem to trust him which tells us something.

He does have his Applause Squad/Brigade/Team/Detachment/Battalion.

It should have been senior council.

[Kindler]

It should have been senior council.

Ah, I see. I was mostly being facetious anyway

The good news is that the Wardens also don't trust him; it was rank-and-file members of the Council who put down Ramirez and the Wardens, and who took Luccio out of play during Changes. Chandler was one of the only ones still operating.

That they're under Peabody's thumb ?

Just like Harry, really.

[Arjan]

Just like Harry, really.

Harry has a few friends and some connections. Christos must have much more to force a membership in the senior council like that.

Harry has a few friends and some connections. Christos must have much more to force a membership in the senior council like that.

The relative potential impact of Christos' constituents backing him, and Mab backing Harry in situations where he is hers and an insult to him is an insult to her, seems to me to skew in favour of the latter.

I don't think Harry could bully his way onto the Senior Council any time soon, but he is better positioned than any wizard except Eb to tell them to go whistle if they lean on him for something he doesn't like.

Harry maybe doesn't need Mab to handle Cristos. WK Harry probably could some of the SC a good challenge by himself.

Harry maybe doesn't need Mab to handle Cristos. WK Harry probably could some of the SC a good challenge by himself.

Harry being WK is very much an exercise of Mab's will, though, and we have seen what happens when he pushes the limits there too far; so if he were going up against the Senior Council it would need her approval, at least tacitly.

[wardenferry419]

I agree, would need Mab to nod her head before he did a Sub-Zero/Scorpion combo on Cristos.

[Rasins]

I agree, would need Mab to nod her head before he did a Sub-Zero/Scorpion combo on Cristos.

Why?

Depending on the circumstances, Mab doesn't care if Harry kills everyone in his way.  In fact, she'd prefer that.
