The only connection Nick had to knowledge and the culture the grimms created in the past were the books and the trailer. . . .Hi Adriano,
I'll add two cents. Rosalee's father had a connection to the Wesen Council. When he died, Rosalee eventually gained a connection. Here are some pieces from Grimm.Wikia.com
Quote:The Wesen Council of Wallenstadt was a group of Wesen that governed Wesen law. The most severe law they enforced was the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex, also known as the Code of Swabia, which is the most important law of honor Wesen have. Part of the law in the Council said it was forbidden to use their Wesen side to disadvantage or murder Kehrseite, which was a capital crime. They were willing to kill, either directly through their agents such as Alexander, or by hiring a bounty hunter known as a Maréchaussée, in order to maintain and enforce the Code.
Quote:Rosalee and Monroe talked about the bank robberies around Portland and the possibility of getting the Wesen Council involved. Monroe hoped it wouldn't come to that, but after Rosalee addressed a meeting of very scared Wesen in the spice shop and promised to deal with the situation, she later revealed to Monroe that her father and brother had a contact on the Council. She and Monroe searched Freddy's papers and found the contact details, and Rosalee made the call. ("Natural Born Wesen")
Quote:Genetics, Grausen, and Dēcapitāre (Oh my!)Note the end of the episode:
Rosalee was in the spice shop with Monroe when Nick and Hank arrived to ask about the offspring between Wesen and humans, so they gave a brief overview. When Nick described what happened to Daniel Keary, Rosalee and Monroe thought that he may be Grausen, and if that was the case, Rosalee said she had to inform the Wesen Council. Later, Monroe and Rosalee were asleep when someone knocked on their door. Monroe answered expecting Nick, but it was Alexander who asked for Rosalee. Rosalee appeared and reluctantly told Alexander where to find Daniel. ("Stories We Tell Our Young")
Quote:Nick goes to the interrogation room where Alexander is waiting and drops a folder in front of him, telling him it's Daniel's medical reports. Alexander asks him what it proves, and Nick tells him Daniel was infected with a parasite that caused him to be what the Council called a Grausen. Nick tells him, "It's not possession by demon, it's not a mutation, and Daniel has been cured." Alexander tells Nick he should know better since he's a Grimm and that he needs to see Daniel. Nick says he needs to take his word for it because of what his ancestors and the Council agreed to in the Charter of Wittenberg in 1682. Nick tells him to take the report with him when he leaves so the council can read it. Alexander is surprised Nick is letting him go, and Nick says, "I like to think we live in an enlightened age where fear does not drive belief. That's the truth behind the fear." Alexander tells him fear is a difficult thing to change, but Nick tells him to "try."
The Wesen Council had a written code (the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex, also known as the Code of Swabia) as a guide for good vs bad Wesen. Monroe and Rosalee seem to be aware of the rules in the code. They discuss this with Nick and IMO, he incorporates some into his Grimm Worldview. For the Nick Haters, I find his line, "I like to think we live in an enlightened age where fear does not drive belief. That's the truth behind the fear," redemptive.
By the way, Nick and the Scoobies saved Daniel's life by going against the Council.
