Who hired Shagnasty?

[RobReece]

my best guess is Peabody, but my caveat is how'd he have the power to do it.  I'd thought that Peabody is the one who lost control of the situation, but maybe it was his boss... the other person at the portal.

[wardenferry419]

I was leaning towards Madeline or her phone contact in Egypt? She left Raith manor before shaggy got there.

[wardenferry419]

Though, the phone contact and the portal person could be the same person.

Wojl has it that something big called in a grudge owed by shagnasty to it.

[wardenferry419]

Well, Madeline was small potatoes, so not her, but someone she reported to then.

[Rasins]

Cowl.

Cowl is Peabody's handler, like it was Madrigal's handler.

[dspringer1]

Are we sure someone hired him?   Or was he just taking advantage of Morgan's disgrace to hunt him down.  It might have been simple enough for anyone of the black council to sent him word once Morgan escaped.   I suspect a lot of people would have known that Morgan killed a skinwalker.  I do not recall the skinwalker working closely with anyone else - and he would have been more effective if he had.

A grudge related to nuking another shagnasty?

[Rasins]

Jim did suggest that Shaggy was returning a favor going after Morgan.

[Kindler]

A grudge related to nuking another shagnasty?

You nuke ONE GUY and everyone gets all bothered about it and won't just let it go.

[wardenferry419]

Maybe Shagnasties have a buddy system.

[Rasins]

I'm picturing Summer camp in the pool ...

TWEEEEEEEET!  (the whistle blows) BUDDY CHECK!!

[wardenferry419]

Shagnasty looking around, seeing a mushroom cloud in the distance, and saying, "I told him not to go chasing after stray wizards."

[apgrey]

  Someone suggested in an old thread that perhaps Shagnasty was the skinwalker that  Morgan nuked.  He survived it, and over time was able to reform.  However, it would provide a strong reason for him to be pissed off at Morgan.
  It was also suggested that Shagnasty's attack on Raith manor was to help Madelaine escape.  That is, she heard about Harry and Luccio visiting, and made a phone call asking for help.
