And I still don't understand why the wesen council put Nick on the wanted list. Does anybody know that?

De Groot said something like..."Apparently Mr. Burkhart has interfered with the Council one too many times."

So I'm guessing that was the reason they put the bounty on Nick - for 'interfering' with what the Council wanted to do.

The thing is, each time Nick 'interfered' with the Council...it was because he was doing his job as a Cop.

In ep. 214 - Natural Born Wesen, Nick arrested the young wesen bank robbers who were using their woged states as disguises.

That was when we learned the "woging in public" was a serious offence with the Wesen Council.

Nick arresting the offenders made it harder on the Council to kill them, so I suppose that pissed them off.

In ep. 306 - Stories We Tell Our Young, Nick prevented Alexander from kidnapping the little boy who was a Grausen.

But Nick sent Alexander back with a file, providing new medical information on what was causing the Grausen disorder in children.

But in ep. 315 - Once We Were Gods, Nick actually helped the Council by letting Alexander get away with stealing the 3000 yr. old Mummy of an Anubis wesen. Then in ep. 412 - Maréchaussée, Nick was trying to catch the Manticore bounty hunter, because while the wesen may have broken Wesen Laws...they hadn't broken any human laws, at least not laws that warranted the death sentence.

So Nick was just being a cop, trying to catch a killer.

This apparently was when the Council decided that he had 'interfered' one too many times. Lurkenfrau, thank you for your comnprehensive answer.

It's clear that the council decided that Nick interfered once too many. I was only of the opion that is was not that much interference. At least that much that it would justify to kill Nick and threaten Rosallee.

- Natural born wesen: immediatly there were already copycats of the bank robbers active. I understood that the Council wanted to kill them in public to give a clear message to the new generation. So then Nick was more helpfull than interfering.

- Story we tell our young: definitely interfering. At the end they said something like: "so the (positive) rumours we hered about the grimm seem to be true. He is different then all other grimms that we have been dealing with. Keep an eye on the graussen and the grimm". So I did not think they were that much upset with the interference.

- Once we were gods: indeed helping

- Marechaussee: the council already came to a verdict before Nick had arrested the boundry hunter. The second murder itself was requested by the boundry hunter. The only thing I can immagine it that they thought he would interfer since Rosalee asked whether the first murder was a council case. I was also supprised that the award itself was much higher then for the second murder.

It's really guessing but there is still litle voice in my head that says "maybe it's related to the keys, that Renard had a key and gave it in protection of the council. That made Renard priority 1 person the coucil thought Nick had something to do with the attack on Renard". But thats only wisfull thinking. I hope not, but realisticly you are right that it really was only realted to Marechaussee and the previous interferences.
