You know what makes Kaz a great boss? What makes him a better boss then both Pekka Rollins and Per Haskel?
He gets to know his crew and basically any people he’s working with. I know it’s basically an opposite of what he says about barrel gangs, but hear me out.
The main reason why Kaz was able to know that Big Bolliger was a traitor is because he knew that Bol was lazy. And knowing what he did in the "Crow club" it would be hard to know if he was lazy or just relaxed while on the job. Kaz knew that he was lazy - he took time to know the guy.
And also the thing that makes Kaz's plans good is that he keeps in mind all his crew's bad habits and vulnerabilities and plots around them. Its really easy to see that if you look at Jesper.
He keeps in mind that Jesper is late and that he can accidentally give up important info. We see that clearly in the beginning of the book. During the “set the wolf free” plan he made sure to tell Jesper the “wrong” time so that he would “be late” and free the animals at the right time. He knew Jesper would(or could) give up info by accident so he took precautions(saying this again: no one arranges an extra ship just to gather in front of it)
And we also have it in the end of CK.
I think both Inej and Jesper had been told the wrong time. Kaz knew that Dunyasha would be there, so he added some time for Inej to fight her. He talks with Jesper about kergud(I have no idea how to spell that, sorry) and also adds time for that fight. He might have actually putted the wyvil it Jespers pocket(as I do not remember Jes actually putting it there, or mb he just made sure it was there).
I mean, it would have been weird if there would be just the sound of one shot fired, but after the siren it would sound better.
When Kaz told Dregs that he won't be their father, he meant it, your father doesn't know you that well, but your sneaky annoying little sibling does.

Kaz literally refused to believe that Jan would hurt his kid.
Like this is the smartest man in Ketterdam, and a miser to boot. This boy would never bet money he wasn't 100% sure he was gonna win.
And EVEN when Wylan told him his Father would never do it, he STILL refused to believe it.
And I'm positive he didn't trust Van Eck.
He just trusted he would be a father.
Kaz doesn't know much about fathers, only his own, and he couldn't think poorly of his own dad, so he had to believe that even if they were horrible people, at least these men were still fathers. So of COURSE they cared about their kid.
Kaz is a lot of things, but he would not believe a father would do that to his son.

Kaz and Inej obviously get married one day because she’s religious and Kaz wants the tax benefits + he wants to make her happy, and I just know when that day comes Kaz takes HER last name

We forget that Kaz found his Dad's corpse split open in a barley field like. Not even a month after his 9th birthday.
We forget that not even a month after his 9th birthday he and his brother leave everything he'd every known behind and move to a strange new city.
We forget that forget that 2 weeks after his father's death they meet Pekka Rollins.
We forget that a month after his father's death Kaz and Jordie end up living on the streets.
We forget that a month after his father's death Jordie dies
We forget that Kaz spends nearly 24 hours floating on the Reaper's barge.
We forget the sheer tragedy of Kaz's backstory, to go from happily living on a farm in Lij with his father and brother to floating on corpses for 24 goddamn hours in the span of 6 weeks at absolute most.
We forget that
Or at least I do, idk about y'all

kaz had the plague too.
I tend to forget this because most of his backstories filled with his brother and rollins, but he was sick, he had the blistering sores, he very well could have been the one to die had situations been much different.
kaz brekker sat on the brink of death, witnessed it, spat in its face, and lived to see another day.

Having thoughts about Kaz Brekker being a farmer’s son. They call him Dirtyhands, but his hands were supposed to be dirtied from tending the earth, not from the blood of the people he’s killed. Or something.

One of the (many) things I love about Kaz Brekker is that he actually has a very strict moral code - it’s just very broad and no-one else knows what it is

No, but thinking about the original crow trio is so funny sometimes, because:
Kaz understood in two minutes what Darkling couldn’t in two weeks.
Inej visited a coronation, talked with her privater friend and his dragon queen and then went - “oh and btw that blond lady over there looks a lot like a dead saint that you were friends with, is it sankta Alina?”
And neither of them had ever even seen Alina or Nikolai before.
And then we have Jesper, who couldn’t tell apart his crush and the guy they stole from the Ice Court about a month ago….

so we all know about “who the hell is jordie?” “someone i trusted. someone i couldn’t afford to lose”, right, but what we forget is the significance of kaz calling jesper ‘jordie’. it’s not just that jesper is a brother to him- jordie was kaz’s protector. jordie was the 13 year old that protected kaz and who kaz protected, the goofy one who made him smile and bought him hot chocolate at night. he felt safe around him. he trusted jordie with his life. in calling jesper ‘jordie’, kaz shows that subconsciously, he trusts jesper to protect him, that he could turn to him should he need it. and every time he yells at jesper, the gambler who couldn’t stay out of the red, for losing another bet, getting in debt again, all he can see is that same thirteen-year-old boy, swindled out of everything he owned and left for dead on the street. with every word he yells at jesper, he silently urges him to stay alive. with every bet jesper makes, all kaz can think is “i can’t lose a brother. not again.”

Pekka Rollins: I invited you into the woods because I crave the most dangerous game
Ten-year-old Kaz, nodding: Knife monopoly
Pekka Rollins:
Pekka Rolkins: I was actually going to hunt you for sport but now I'm interested in whatever the fuck knife monopoly is

Headcanon that Jordie (when he fell sick and knew he wasn't gonna make it) used to pray that Kaz would have someone like a brother- someone who would always be there for him- when he grew up. Years later, the Saints answered by the arrival of a Zemeni sharpshooter who gambled too much for his own good.

Young Kaz hcs that are real because I am correct
(Edit: Kaz Rietveld edition)
He bit stadwatch officers
He subtly sassed Haskell all the time, but Haskell never picked up on it
He snarled at people like a dog
When in prison he would be really violent at the beginning to show inmates that they shouldn't mess with him (because he was 10 the first few times and suffering from malnutrition)
He smashed people over the heads with bottles
He put on disguises to try and sneak back into gambling dens he had been banned from
He would try make people feel sorry for him and then robbed them blind
He didn't talk a lot and just stared creepily
