From my understanding(what I know from WWoE, Horrors, and the
elusive Ms. Spector), Y wasn't that much of an influential Horror.
During the 4th world, he was constantly searching for that "one like
her", meaning Aina. He loved to torment and torture individuals by
harming those around them. I'm willing to bet he did this to Aina for
centuries, if not longer(can't wait till Scars comes out). Aina was the
closest thing he's had to love, and so he is obsessed by her.

I'm willing to bet more sinister agents(maybe even Horrors) are
behind Blood Magic.

Personally, I think you give Y far too much credit. He was too
immersed in what he wanted to start any cults or orders. If he had,
they'd all be too devoted to find him a new "Aina".
Where does his facination with Aina stem from? I've been trying
to solve that mystery for years now. My theory, and the one I will
kling on to until "Scars" or "Little Treasures" come out, is that Y,
like most Horrors, fed on emotion. Aina gave him an emotion- one that
he liked very well- Love. And he's been "with" her ever since. At first
I believed that this is how Aina got her immortality(see the pic in the
ED book), but Spector denies this, and just keeps telling me to wait
until her ED novels come out to see. So maybe it will be cleared up
then.
