  Cool idea.  Riffing off it, suppose that the Comte really is Extra
  Special, and that there's no way, no-how that you can get Super Keen Comte
  Powers by manipulating public opinion...
  
  ...But what the Cliomancer did (unintentionally) do is put himself in the
  number-one-with-a-bullet spot for the Fool.  Which, due to the Fool
  channels, means he's ridiculously difficult to kill, and tends to show up
  in all the right/wrong places.  Which, unintentionally, makes him seem a
  lot more Comte-like, even to him...  Which reinforces the gullibility
  requirement for the Fool.  Meet Mr. Positive feedback cycle.
  
  Wacky hijinks ensue.
  
Part of the beauty of this campaign idea is that whether or not it works
doesn't matter.  If all else failed, he'd become THE MAGNET for every
marginally clued-in cabal to try and find out what's going on.  Even if all
else fails, he becomes the ultimate catalyst for Occult World War...
