We get a glimpse of Ferrovax a Dragon in the Roman Legion armor in Grave Peril. I'm really curious your take on the Dragon's in Dresden's world.

I think Jim has said "in the Big Apocalyptic Trilogy" in response to that question before.

Uh, I'm not Jim (obviously) and I'm just speculating here but:
He didn't.
He put out where Maggie was, assuming Arianna would take her. Then he knew that Susan and Harry would move Heaven and Earth to rescue her. He may have even known about the bloodline curse but either way... At the very least, he would have had someone (Harry) who'd do anything and everything in his power to take down whoever had his daughter which at least meant Martin could hope the Red King would die or some large chunk of the nobility. Then the bloodline curse comes up, and he sees how he can subvert it for his own purpose and ends up revealing himself at just the right moment, trusting that Harry is intelligent enough to see what to do (that comment from Susan about Harry seeing 'everything' eventually comes into play here, I think) and....ta da, Red Court Vampire insta-death.
Deviation:
One of the problems I have with reading series of books is that the characters tend to become static after a while. They stop growing, developing, changing, and that's when it gets boring. How do you keep your characters continually developing for such a long series while simultaneously making sure that they still remain who they are? I'm placing primary emphasis of this question in regards to their personalities I suppose (although physical changes effect that as well obviously).
Thanks. I can't wait for the next book!

Does Oberon, emperor of the fairies, fit into your mythos at all?
