Rereading PT...I never post, but hadn’t seen this thought yet and HAD to get your take...

But since Grey kept track of Justine in PT and got close to her...do you think Nemesis worked to infect him!?!? What a huge impact tii hi is could have, if so!!

[Arjan]

Probably not. If Nemesis was mass spreading like a pandemic reality would have been over long ago.

[TheCuriousFan]

His defending was more watching from a distance IIRC so he should be safe.

[Snark Knight]

Well, Jim wants to do some sort of spinoff with Grey, apparently beyond just the short story. So either no, or he's going to have to get better in a hurry.

[Mira]

I doubt it, he is a secret double agent, so Nemeses might still think he is working for one of it's allies. 

[Bad Alias]

Maybe. There's enough there for Harry to be exceptionally suspicious of him from here on out.

Perhaps, but you'd think that Vadderung would be on it, since he is one of his operatives.

I hope not, because I love Grey!

Is he? Or has Vadderung just used him at some point. And if Mab and Titania can't figure out their respective daughters are infected, I wouldn't be surprised if Odin had trouble figuring out that a contractor he sometimes uses is infected.

Not saying it is impossible, but it depends when Vadderung aka Kringle aka Odin first bought him.
Skin Game pages 375-376  Harry questions because Grey is a mercenary, he can be bought.

Kringle sat back in his seat at that, considering the question.  Then he said
"If you buy this man, he stays bought.  It's who he is."
I arched an eyebrow.  "You are asking me to trust a stranger's professional integrity?"
"I wouldn't do that," Kringle said. "I'm asking you to trust mine."

Lord knows I could be wrong, but I believe that Odin would know if Grey was infested.

[Bad Alias]

If it was that easy, I don't think Nemesis would be that much of a threat.

[Mira]

  Odin can't be everywhere any more than Harry can.  Nemesis isn't just one thing.

[Bad Alias]

Odin doesn't need to be everywhere.

[Mira]

Odin doesn't need to be everywhere.

Perhaps, but the point he was making to Harry is what counts.

"If you buy this man, he stays bought.  It's who he is."
I arched an eyebrow.  "You are asking me to trust a stranger's professional integrity?"
"I wouldn't do that," Kringle said. "I'm asking you to trust mine."

I take that to mean that Odin bought Grey a long time ago.  Grey may subcontract, but he still belongs to Odin.  Not saying it is impossible that he'd get infected with Nemesis, just saying that I
think it improbable.

I think he may have hired him from time to time. I don't think he owns him and hires him out.
