Michael Wisnowski is where the HiboCorp staff discussion gets considerably more uncomfortable. He's a government agent connected to the Realm Knights, and his place in this part of the story goes back to the early Realm Knights one-shot. By Code Red, he's already part of the organization around these characters rather than somebody being introduced to their world for the first time. Then Grimm Fairy Tales #99 makes him answer for what that organization is doing. Jessica Ciampo and Britney confront him while the larger story exposes HiboCorp's plans. The Dark Queen has shown Sela the president's order to have Andre Payne killed. Wisnowski's explanation combines following orders with his own belief that Highborns could become a danger to humanity. Those are two different things to put together. Following an instruction might explain the chain of command, but it doesn't make his own judgment disappear. He works around people with these abilities while also treating their existence as a potential threat. The agency's stated purpose and the way it treats those people have become a very ugly problem. Jessica stops him from taking his own life and persuades him to help put things right. His agreement gives the confrontation a direction beyond exposing what happened. There is still something he can do, and somebody is asking him to do it. That's where I'm leaving his story for this stretch of the reading. Agreeing to help is a meaningful decision, but it isn't the same thing as undoing the damage. It gives Wisnowski a responsibility to act on rather than an excuse for what came before.
