I think >!Tamsy is going to likely target Follo Gris or Enjin.!< I have reason to believe each one of their deaths would carve a fresh special wound onto Rudo's psyche.

• Gris has a bond with Rudo stretching back to his early days in the Cleaners, and his death would hurt.

• But Follo and Rudo just became friends and Follo just unlocked his true potential as a giver and the most versatile Cleaner we have seen with rudo's help. It would break something inside Rudo to see Follo die when he was finally about to start living the life he'd obsessed himself with.

• Enjin is one of the main cast and in a way, He's Rudo's big brother who has been capable of reining him in when he starts losing control. Also, we are about to see him at full power and possibly see his character arc come full circle. >!Tamsy!< must know how important Enjin is to the cleaners as an organization and Rudo's stable identity as an individual by now and may seek to undermine that by suddenly killing him in a way that cripples both and puts Rudo into a tunnel vision where revenge lies at the end.

• My fourth and final pick for who >!Tamsy!< will target is Arkha Corvus, and hear me on this. He's the leader of the organization Rudo sidelined his ultimate goal to be a part of, he's an effective leader that protects his people from outside threats and threats from the authority above him, the Hell Guard. To kill Arkha Corvus would likely shatter the unity within the cleaners as while their goal of fighting trash beasts is the same, their individual goals might lead to infighting and people striking out on their own with the sudden lack of direction, and the collapse of the cleaners as a unified group will possibly isolate and make Rudo far more vulnerable to breaking psychologically.

To really break Rudo down though, it can't be a circumstantially orchestrated death, it would probably have to be the moment tamsy steps into the light as a villain that few within the cleaners saw coming. For it to truly hurt Rudo, he'd have to kill someone himself (or crazy idea somehow order Fu to do it and keep his cover). It's obvious by now that >!Tamsy!< belongs or belonged to a fourth faction, not the cleaners or the raiders or even the Hell Guard for that matter. And he is likely a high ranking member. It's also obvious that certain members of the Cleaners are steadily beginning to mistrust him, including the leader. So whatever he does, he can't play the long game much longer.

Tell me your thoughts on this, and also if you buy into the theory floating around that >!Tamsy is trying to turn Rudo into a powerful inhuman monster like the watchman and use him as a jinki to destroy the sphere.!<
