Right bidder is not "any bidder with the right price". Otherwise he'd be outsider-cultist already.
Oh. That's a very interesting proposal, yes. He's a supernatural already, and knows the local scene. And he actually has moral fiber and doesn't like what he does. @DragonParadox what is Molly's estimation on the mantle being able to correct his demon's issue?

The Sin Eater is the right bidder, so that is no concern anymore.
As for Harrowmont's willingness to act, he pulled a sword against Reds in combat shape. Maybe inefficient, but not speaking of lacking will.
And for his power, he lacks combat experience, but just using what tricks any rituals he has now without the long delay of invocation and gathering power is a decent start.
He'll get the quicker casting down quickly, I hope.

I don't care if Mutt is in our pocket, I want a human who understand worldly concerns taking up this role.

Sin Eater wants the new Dragon to have witnessed what happened to the last one* which means someone in this room. Also unfortunately our otherworldly agents don't qualify.
*Don't really know why it isn't exactly a good threat considering that the Sin Eater himself contributed nothing to this fight.

Yes, it would just feed him directly.

I get it. I'm just hoping that she hasn't signed any actual paperwork or made an official deal yet. I still want to recruit her to start working for us.
From the tone of the nice lady with the buzzing aura you cannot hear from here Molly would guess Silk did something that Andrea would consider 'striking a deal'. Something to consider if you want to poach her.

I think that we missed our chance unfortunately.
Can we? Yes. Should we? No.
Exact quote was, and I quote:
He's the least bad option available that suits the Sin-Eater's stated requirements.
But under normal conditions I wouldnt want to put him in this position.
I don't know if she knew what she was saying there but that's actually a brilliant quote. Because proper as an adjective can describe both quality and quantity and considering how he's acted in this matter the quality of his would be patrons would disqualify them from having the proper coin.
To be fair once someone who would have been a Black Friday discount on souls gets power, some of them at least become loyal. Ambition can have limits for those who are not Chosen
Actual point I forgot to make:
Assuming that any of the three people here, but especially Harrowmont, happens to be the Sin-Eater's pick?
I will point out that Little Tommy and his crew of Shadow Killers is available for going out of business prices right now. They know the city, especially the criminal element, and are currently in a little trouble.
Sandra used them to source milspec weapons, which can and will be tracked back to them, so the Feds are going to fry them unless someone with sufficient juice intervenes. Like the new Dragon. So for the cheap price of protection and scanning their heads to get rid of whatever mind control remains, someone can get their signatures on an employment contract.
Just get them out of the gunrunning business entirely.

I... don't have that much issue with gunrunning, really? I mean, it's not human trafficking. And yes, it enables other crimes. But it can easily be leveraged and pivoted into mostly legit arms dealing, including selling (very simple, very obsolete) versions of FIvefold Courts weaponry.
In general, yes, they should be subverted. Ideally, I want to leave Vegas with humans being in control. Have Harry call in a detachment from WC, if they can spare one, have all human factions sign to some manner of alliance, have LoC detach some forces, etc.

That's a really low bar... Who would we be selling outdated Five Court weapons too? We don't need the money so it must be for some other reason.
Politics? I mean, we could probably supply who we want ourselves, but it might also be simpler to handle distribution through these guys. That was just a thought, I am not attached to it.
You can literally buy AR15s and AKs off the shelf in the US for less than a thousand dollars with no waiting time. Anyone who wants weapons can buy them. Noone in the US is buying RPGs or grenades for home defence. Gunrunning is only profitable when you are selling weapons abroad, and the obvious market is Mexico and the drug war going on there.
Gunrunning contributes to more pain and misery than cityscale human trafficking.
We dont sell Fivefold Courts weaponry.
We might do the equivalent of govt to govt or govt to NGO arms deals, but we dont sell weapons.
And we certainly arent going to be supplying most factions.
Again, Vegas is not our property to dispose of. And there is no human faction in the city anyway; the Ishtarites are happy to have Whampire members, the Pallbearers are a religious sect under spirit/divine guidance, and the Cirque does its best not to be noticed, and the Shadow Killers are about to stop being an independent factor one way or the other.

Personally I'm just amused by my mental image of this resulting "every so often the Sin Eater just lets an Outsider through to fling them into Demonreach"

Care to elaborate? That could mean a lot of things and the masquerade is still on. Trading through illegal means also gives a certain impression.
