The Wesen Council may seem adequate on their own but this is just another contradiction I see in the series. How powerful were they actually since people here are judging Grimms by what we saw in the show? The council seemed like more of a show-not-tell thing on just how scary they actually were.
For instance, how many people were connected to the council? They were wiped out pretty easily. All it took was one meeting in a room to kill all of them. It wasn't like Hydra infiltrating Shield, which took them decades to do, and even then Shield was never gone. They just stayed under the radar until they were ready to strike back and regain the public's trust. The WC, like HW and BC but even moreso, never lived up to the hype. I have an easier time believing Grimms were more of a deterrent for local wesen than the WC. It's not like the WC could be everywhere at once judging by their small circle.
