I had the same suspicion here. Though I doubt that the discovery will result
in the death of Simon. But then again, it might, he is after all, wached
over by Ronan Lynch, the saint of the damned. Definitely got the impression
Baphomet was involved (hell, the give that away). The conection to the
Horror is a bit crafted as well. In the background they say that Teller came
into Boise, and their was a murder. Teller *and* Simon (among others) track
the bloodwolf and kill it, asuming they had finally caught the Horror. They
then say that the killings happen again a few months later, thanks to the
still alive horror. Ooops, they didn't get their man. Now then in the
secrets section they make it clear that the Bloodwolf they killed *was*
responsable for the murder that occured when Teller was in town. So what
does this say to me? Call it a diversion. The murder was attributed to the
horror, they track and kill what they think is the horror, and is later
found out to not have been. Casting the doubt as far away from the aleged
horror as possible, Simon, who in adition to being the horror and not
knowing it, is fully present to track down the killer. Who'd ever suspect?

Not a suspicious conspiracy sifting Marshal like me, no, not me, not ever.
