the hounds (+outsourced hunters) are not the only people that want to find and kill io. the link between the only two salvienus in the world isn't exactly a secret. and there's a lot of supernatural folk who loathe io for their own son. for the mere familial connection. for not doing what's necessary. they loathe the fact that sometimes col spares io, and they loathe the fact that io always spares col.
