- Income from Charlie's mercenary work helps sustain a side that would otherwise be too big to feed itself.
- Unlimited Thinkamancy would certainly eliminate the logistic nightmare of running such a huge side.
- Transylvito has somehow survived Haffaton's advance so far, and given their M.O., they may have made Charlie "an offer he can't refuse" to buy themselves (literally) extra time.
There may be other tid-bits I'm missing...but some of these pieces fit together too well for me to ignore haha.
