According to Sean, Zauberbiests and Hexenbiests are not the same thing. That's actually all we know about them, so technically the only person who could teach Kelly if he manifests as a Zauberbiest is Sean. :) Assuming that there's anything to be taught; I have a hunch that Zauberbiest abilities are more instinctual and less learning-dependant than Hexenbiest abilities are. More along the lines of physical strength (that we've seen from Sean) and emotional manipulation (that... well, it's certainly not out of the question that Sean can do that!) :)

The Royals and the Uprising organization (this is the first time I've heard it called the "Black Claw") have numbers. Lots and lots of numbers. The Royals have the Verrat - an army of Hundtjagers. And the Uprising has apparently thousands of powerful predatory Wesen worldwide who are banded together towards a common cause.

I like to think that winning against them isn't so much about having a few uber-powerful people, as it will be about a large number of people rallying around Nick and Monroe. That's where lasting change comes from.

(Also, I don't believe it's right to have children fight battles for you... and the whole "chosen one" mythos is so damaging to children.)
