I can understand why you think that, and like you said it depends on execution. However I will say that more than a third of Majestic defected and took many good generals and soldiers with them. They held their ground well for a year-and-half but could only take the defensive side. The time capsule they discovered while forging an underground bunker was indeed what they needed, but it still took them months to decipher the instructions for their weapons and also hold off M13 all at the same time. Again, it's all a very rough draft, especially with the background history details, but at least it's coherent.

Wiseman is more or less an unseen character. He has a major role in the plot as far as where the remaining, sane Golems are concerned. Cinthy barely knew the other Golems for a few days and that hardly gives you enough time to grasp what it means to be what you are. She believes that finding him will provide her with answers about her very being despite being told that he went insane from being unable to cope with Golem puberty (not very cool-sounding, but thats the best way to describe what happened). Don't forget that his rampage left a huge mark on the world, literally in a sense. Plenty of people know he was real and not some mythical being since there was historical evidence of him. Plenty of other people want to find him and harness that sorta power for their own purposes, but there's too many to name and they wouldn't appear till much, much late.

There's plenty of twists and turns that happens when Cinthy comes across her brethren who have made vastly different livings for themselves, like Trager and Ezeckial. I have tons of story planned out, probably enough to span three novels if I ever get off my ass and actually do it. But I have gotten plenty of support from those IRL when I came to them with this idea. It's nice to see someone a bit more unbiased if anything.
