Who gave the wolf belts to feds?
-
The common belief is that it came from someone within Erlking's Court but not the Erlking himself.

I find it likely it was him though, the way the agents were made to kneel to their 'master' doesn't point to some uppity lesser in the court. If he was traitor it would make the Eeb's survival that much more likely, and since I like that one compared to it's woj I settle with EK as th most likely candidate. He's the king of hunter's and a mighty hunter was being chained from the hunt? Quite apart from Nfection he could be freeing things he thinks aught to be while testing his heirs at the same time. Think most of book two was testing Harry and Marcone by team UMO. The Nemesis element... I wonder if that wasn't actually Tera and LtW ordering her there. Mostly due to GK mentioning it on his list.
-
How about that Lt of the Erlking's, Radagast?
-
Forgot the my Lord comment, I don't think it's erlking though.
-
I think that whomever issued the belts, they did it to further their own (Nemesis) agenda, not as a benefit to the FBI agents. The EK seems to me to be way too independent to be a Nemesis tool or infected. The belts were tainted, they drove the agents to act against their training and conditioning, I'd go with either Cowl, or a mole in the EK's court, maybe Rafforut.
-
I was going to suggest Cowl, but I'd have to read the description we get from the Soul Gaze to really know.
-
There's a lot about werewolves that reminds me of the Wild Hunt (especially the Lycanthropes and the Hexenwolves), but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're connected to the Erlking.

The big clue is that the Chicago FBI building connects to the Erlking's demesne.

Thank you, Rafforut, that was the name I was trying to remember.
-
I don't know, but a couple of guesses would be a member of the Red Court or possibly the Formor. I remember a short story with Harry and Murphy getting spell whammied by a Red Court Vamp on a Tunnel of Love Ride to make them fall in love and get horny for each other. The Formor helped the Red Court with the poison gas attack in Africa and used the same type of device at the Svartalf party.

The supernatural world really needs to trademark their evil plot devices; there is all kinds of copy-catting going on.

From reading the description in the soul gaze, I'd go along with Cowl.. However that doesn't answer who gave them to him and for what reason?
-
Which was the short story with the love belts though? Supposedly same perp, haven't read it in awhile but it's implied it was to undercut WCV hunting grounds. Only hunter I know of interested in stiffing the competition goes right back to EK.

I don't recall love belts. Yes, which SS was that?

"Love Hurts." The seatbelts on the carnival ride are putting love spells on those who go through the tunnel.
Not quite the same as the wolf belts in execution, but pretty close.
-
Oh yeah .... I do remember that one. Murph and Harry investigating more Three-eye, right?
-
Couples, including a brother/sister Kentucky-style relationship, dying in strange ways.
-
Well, it WAS a carnival out in the sticks
-
What happens at the traveling carnival, stays at the carnival?

Unless it doesn't. LOL

The last time I was at a carnival was my first date with my first girlfriend in high school, before cell phones, and when cassettes were still a vibrant medium. She demanded that we ride the Ferris wheel, and I have a crippling fear of heights. I spent the whole ride clutching the center pole with my eyes shut because I was certain I was only moments away from death.
Let's just say that she never let me forget it, and she still brings it up today at every opportunity. So no, what happens at the carnival doesn't stay at the carnival, and will haunt you decades later.
-
WE have a carnival that comes to our City's celebration in the beginning of June every year. I don't recall a Ferris wheel, but they have other rides.
-
We need some other kinds of were-people and totems.

Werebuffalo were actually a common Native myth.

I would love to see a werebuffalo in the series. I can imagine Harry's comments now...

Probably calls the werebuffalo Bessie, regardless of gender.

That's what happens when everybody is really working together in one big conspiracy and they all trained from the same textbook...

Same as he does every night, Pinky; try to turn Harry to evil.

But how does one achieve individual flair and signature actions if everybody is copying their notes from the same manual? ;D

By causing destruction in unique ways.

Who cares about individual flair and signature actions so long as you are getting the job done ?
-
Well, if the world is going to see you as an evil @$$HOLE then you should at least have some style.

Everybody is unique, just like everyone else.

But, evil needs to be noticably unique instead of generally unique.

On what level of "needs" ?
Personally, I'd be entirely happy with evil being portrayed as petty, banal, small-minded, dull and unglamorous, on both descriptive and prescriptive grounds.
-
Needs as entertainment value, dear sir, the kind you speak of is what we see on the news.

It is and it isn't, it's very narrow in it's motives with most religions pointing out the human fallible in a set or written form, greed, lust, fear/despair, ect. But it's also as wide a variety as the 'separate psychosis' represented in the Ramp's 3rd eye gaze at chicken pizza. Loved that scene for that reason.
