I don't see how he could ever have manipulated Ironwood without one in his pocket at the least, but more importantly he can't do shit with just one if James has 2 and is his main obstacle, my main point is that personally he doesn't live in Mantle, therefor has no business representing it... it would be very surprising if he ever lived their since marriage. When did he manipulate Ironwood? …

Both times, Ironwood is in control and calling the shots, and Jacques can't do shit.

I'm pretty sure Robyn is running for Atlas Council... Meaning that Robyn and Jacques are competing with each other in the election.

What appears to be going on is that everyone on the council just does whatever Ironwood wants, like Pietro says, so if Jacques or Robyn gets a seat, they can oppose Ironwood during meetings and convince the other council members to side with them. 1. I never said he succeeded, I said he's attempted, Why would James talk with Jacques at all if he had no political backers or power, why would Weiss act like arrest gets her sent to daddy if Ironwood was the only one that mattered, yes he may just have cowed stooges, but that doesn't mean he is unlikely to have any stooges in the first place.

2.^

3. I never said they weren't, I'm saying the seat likely belongs to the Mantle Representative, like Ironwoods are "Headmaster" and "General/military head" as in "seat Position x" is the Mantle District rep.

4. Again, I think Jacques already sits there ore controls a seat as a backer, otherwise Ironwood wouldn't be going to his study to deal or inform him of policy
