Who was the real target of the bloodline curse at CI?

My personal opinion is that the Black Council is working with the goal to take down the White Council and becoming major players in the supernatural world. Nemesis has infected the Black Council and is using them to further their goal of breaching the Outer Gates and invading our world.

So, collaboration with different goals?

So, collaboration with different goals?

Thats my guess. The only question is if it is known or unknown collaboration.

Well considering the way that supernatural beings work; I would say that the players are getting played.

What is the general consensus regarding the Black Council and Nemesis? Are they one and the same? Are they different? Are they collaborating?

If you want a general consensus start a poll 

I think the black council as Harry experiences it is just Harry's label for nemesis activity but their might have been something like a black council in the past.

Umm, okay, the way I understand things is like this:
1.there are 3 walkers who are leaders among the Outsiders.
2.we have seen physical forms of Behind and Before.
3. The 3rd walker is He-who-walks-Beside.
4. He-who-walks-Beside is either Nemesis or closely associated with Nemesis.
5.the Black Council is a name that Harry calls those that are stirring up trouble.
6.we have a small list of bad guys associated with the Black Council
7. each major supernatural power seems to have a BC traitor in its midst.
8.the Black Council are either working with Nemesis or comprised of members that have been Nem-infected
9.Harry may or may not be a starborn who is believed to have power over Outsiders.
10. Many casebooks involve Harry taking down BC or Nemesis plots.
   Are there any key points I am missing or completely off-the-mark about?
