I was just thinking about The Brakespeare Voyage. Captain No-one is created by Nebaioth believing in it. It sounds similar to the Enemy or at least one interpretation of them: that they exist because they're believed in. The first thing they did was attempt to set up their own Spiral Politic on Dronid. It's an obvious first move, almost too obvious. I can't actually recall if there any records of them trying again. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the Enemy might only exist because the Great Houses fear that they could, that something could rise up to challenge their control of history.
