The soldier that met him was known to the other soldiers as Creep. No captain would have the man in their squad, his predilections made him unemployable in the public sector, and the fact that Coil was the sole person who could and would provide him with the ‘payment’ he craved makes Creep as loyal as men can get.
On one hand, it’s not far-fetched that Creep and Dinah get the same sort of “payment”, but Coil isn’t the only one who can and will provide someone with that.
Given the nickname, however, I have another theory, and it’s not pretty for anyone involved. Taylor certainly wouldn’t approve.
…yeah, I’m talking about Coil providing Creep with people to rape. Possibly even children.
Everyone had a hook, a vice or something they needed on a primal, desperate level. Sometimes that need needed to be created, or nurtured, so it could later be hand fed.
Coil may be nicer, more friendly and likable on the face of it, but he’s not actually much better than Kaiser.
Those people who were driven by such things, carried that craving for something especially close to the surface, were among Coil’s favorite people, coming in a very close second to people who were useful. Those who were both useful and desperate for something Coil could provide?
The very best?
I mean, on one level this is just simple capitalism. It’s what Coil is willing to use as capital that’s the problem.
Well, they were the Travelers, Creeps and Grues of the world.
I wasn’t expecting him to bring up Grue, but I can see it.
I’m more interested in the Travelers, though. What exactly is it that they’re desperate for?
