That's what I would do, if I were a decades-old organization dedicated to a long-term goal of overthrowing the Wesen Council. I'd have as many people planted in positions of power as possible. Yes, those are all good points...and I would also add: Dixon seems skilled in the same sort of smiley-faced deceptiveness that we've seen from the other Uprising members that have appeared so far. It's almost like they've been trained in duplicity and how to put on a good act. Dixon could have also been pressured into joining... The episode description and promo pics for 'Wesen Nacht' show a shopkeeper who has been kidnapped by the Uprising, presumably to pressure him to join them. The Wesen Council is also an old group and one that deals harshly with anyone who breaks their laws. So it looks like there is a no-win scenario brewing...where Wesen are going to be forced to chose which side they are on, with deadly consequences for being on either side. It's entirely possible that Dixon could be a member of the Uprising, either by choice...or by threats. Either way, he could have a target on his back. I think they showed us that flashback of Renard's picture on the Uprising computers for a reason. Renard seems like enough of a traditionalist that he would be on the side of the Wesen Council...as well as seeing the wisdom in Wesen remaining hidden from the Kehrseite world, for their own safety. So I think that the Uprising is targeting Renard, either to pressure him to join or to kill him.
