No one snatched Harry at six. Wasn't he in a state run orphanage for the next five years or so? I think Lea visited from time to time, but she didn't influence him. I don't think even she planned for Justin to grab him at twelve. Six is the perfect age for brain washing and molding of young forming minds, yet it didn't happen. Was everyone hedging their bets until his talent started to manifest itself? Or they were all clueless as to what Harry was? Perhaps Justin wasn't looking for star born kids when he adopted Harry and Elaine, but merely wanted talented unattached that he could train up as enforcers with no questions asked? Which begs thequestion, enforcers for what?
In terms of sides there is Harry and the A team. Two skulls and a crusty prison guard. Toot Toot and the Guard. The Tooth Fairy. A newly minted Knight with bad vision. A white vamp and proto father. Three werewolves and a Temple Dog. Two on the injured reserve, an ex cop with a bad knee and a former Knight with a most perfect safe house.
Not that significant, good in small fights, but no political pull..
Team Winter.
Significant, but not clear who is teaming up with them aside from wizard or two..
Uriel, Mab, and Vadderung. With Hades as a banker. The god squad, kinda.
Not clear because they keep their cards close to their vests... Now against Reds with the exception of Hades[unknown as a player at the time] they were on team Harry..
Nemesis and whatever "it" is supposed to represent.
Indeed, and since almost anybody can be vulnerable to infiltration by it, it is unclear who's side who is on, or who the sides are.
The Circle, some bitchin bad guys maybe based in Egypt.
Totally fuzzy at this point, only guy who might be a member is Cowl.
Oh, and the Senior Council, which has one foot on a banana peel and the other over the abyss.
Back to my original premise, I doubt it is clear as to what side everyone is on or even what the sides are
Comic relief, the Formor. Who may or may not be due an upgrade.
Agreed, they are at best a distraction, but do not underestimate a group that kidnaps children at
the rate that they do. Unless they enjoy them roasted over a slow fire, just what are they planning to do with all of them.
