CADMUS Mulciber is the one playing both sides.


And again, how can I be so concerned about Death Eaters? Oh yeah, I think I consider them 'ours.'

Yeah, that's true. Or maybe Mulciber trusts (or fears) Crouch more than the others, I guess.
Dolohov's message to himself after the duel in Mysteries is making me fret a lot. Those initials aren't that hard to crack.
(Also, I like that Corax is using his super-privileged access to the journals to... pursue gossip about Lucius and Rosa. Who died and made him Rita Skeeter? I mean, I guess maybe he wants blackmail material, although an old affair is probably not going to command a high price.)

Looks like not pinning Barty down didn't work out well for him.

Honestly, Corax seems to be a bit, well. "I'm looking for things that would let me eliminate some of the opposition and, while I'm at it, amusing schadenfreude/wank material" seems to be about right?

Hahaha oh, I rarely feel this, but right now I sorta love Bella and Barty. And, of course, the endless internecine squabbles of the Council.
And, yes, Corax is a bit, well, self-satisfied? And politically unfocused? And definitely over-reaching, especially when it comes to cunning plans. That may prove hazardous to his health.
I am intrigued by how a mandate from Voldemort doesn't actually command that much respect; I wonder what LV is playing at--does he hope that their feuding will keep Death Eaters from trying to assassinate him?

I'm pretty sure "mandate from Voldemort" is why no "AK to the back of the head", so it gets some respect?
