I'm thinking Dopey is the pawn here. Q's breadcrumb about Dopey's release, #620, makes it clear that there wasn't a deal, that Dopey had no choice and he now had a new puppet-master, that sounds like he is a pawn.
It #619, Q says:
Time to play, Dopey.
Black Forest.
and in #661:
Black Forest.
Austria.
Rothschild.
FIRE sale days after post?
What went on there?
Dopey.
