True and good point. However, 'Greg' was the only one with the plan and since the thrall over those is now broken, the vampires that were sent ahead might change their minds.

We do actually know for sure that Greg sent a spawn off to dominate the council, because that happened on-screen. We also saw one spawn flee after Belkar went sexy-shoeless-god-of-war mode.

I checked back and yeah, you're right, he sent off the ex-exarch and a nameless vampire who is obviously meant to be a redshirt to start the preparations. I forgot about that I guess.

Still, if I remember correctly, the negative energy spirit is one that Hel personally sent (despite the fact that Malack was worshipping a completely different god) and personally gave instructions to, we don't know if she did the same for the other thralls and there's no telling what the two other vampires will do when the thrall gets removed.

Oh hey, that's an interesting point.  I think Hel provides the negative energy spirits for all the dwarven husks, but who provided Poncho's spirit?

I don't think it's going to be plot-important, but she's an interesting exception.

Well, she was part of the group worshipping elemental Earth, so, I guess that one would either be up for grabs, under the purview of whichever of the other two pantheons she'd have defaulted under, or just been a generic negative energy spirit. The mechanics of how that works aside from the dwarves hasn't been explained for the in-comic universe.

No idea on the specifics of where the name 'Greg' came from, it's a nickname given to vampireDurkon by members of the GitP forum.

If you mean 'where did the vampire spirit named Greg come from', Hel says it outright in http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0946.html

There are northerner humans, and they have the same gods as the dwarves. Presumably a northern human would get their vampire spirit from Hel too, because she's the goddess of death for the north. But I dunno where poncho was originally from.

Also, Greg.

Xykon plan on summoning and "controlling" the Snarl, remember? Except all the ritual pieces are known only to Redcloak, and iirc he said controlling the Snarl was impossible.
