7) I'm trying to think about how the Coalition solving problems and taking people over would actually work, because it's confusing me. As far as I can figure out, it goes like:
1) The other group (A) call Micah in. They explain what their problem is. At this point, Micah would be able to make a reasonable assumption about whether it would involve risk to his people 2a) The problem involves no risk. He solves it and goes home. End. 2b) The problem involves risk. He solves it. 3) A are forced to join the coalition. Given the 'willing or not', I'm guessing that this was not brought up at 1. This may involve physical violence or rape if they protest. 4) Micah leaves.
The thing is, what does Micah gain? He doesn't have enough strong wereleopards in St Louis to send one of his people to run A, so he doesn't have any direct influence on their day-to-day lives. He isn't a vampire, so he doesn't gain any kind of power boost from being the leader. He can make them back down, but as I understand it, that's a matter of power levels rather than being an official leader.
So all I can think of is money. He forces A into the coalition and then makes them pay some kind of tithe to him as payment for the protection. Micah is now a Mob boss.
