In Blood Rites, why was Mavra's crew in place at Arturo Genosa's when Harry and Thomas drove up to the outer guard shack? Its clear Mavra decided to draw Harry into attacking her so she could later blackmail him to get the word of Kemmler for her.
How could she have possibly have known Harry would show up there?

We know that Mavra is really good at veils -- one suggestion is that she is following Harry around all throughout BR. In this particular case she gets her minions to "attack" Harry in order to protect him from Lara. Remember that right before the Blampire attack, Lara was about to shoot Harry dead and ask questions later. The attack (and the Blampires making their intentions to kill/take everyone) caused Harry and Lara to make the temporary truce.

Harry might be forced to work with a hated enemy like Nicodemus, against a more immediate threat from a BC member.
That would be fun to see, though I doubt a Harry/Nic partnership; even a temporary one, will ever occur.

Not for more than the span of a single battle, but I think it's totally happening. My money is on Ferrovax as the foe, side bet on Tessa with a loopy enough plot.
Interesting thought - are all of Tessa's nickelhead faction black council, or just Thorned Namshiel? Realistically, her and Rosanna are the only ones who matter now as the rest were mostly hired muscle who got ganked by Harry, Thomas and Kincaid, but still, 3 Denarian bc members are scarier than one. Also begs the question, are any of Nic's flunkies bc? He'd tear them a new one if he knew, of course, but Lasciel's dissenting nature shows us such things are possible.
Given that a number of coins are back "on the market" it could be interesting to see.

We have WoJ Ferrovax isn't getting involved until 1 book before the BAT.

Most likely all of them, and a few other Denarians too, simply because it makes things more difficult for Harry.

--- Quote from: MX on November 10, 2011, 04:28:47 AM ---My personal theory is that she and the White King, as part of the Black Council, were working together. Both Mavra being there with vamps at the guard shack as well as Madge, an ex-wife whom purposefully avoids making contact with Harry, indicate Papa Raith knew someone might interfere and that it might be Harry. Blood Rites was the White King's attempt to break free from Maggie's death curse.

Then why hit Lara and Inari? She was pretty pleased to hit the white court. She may know who triggered the Stoker thing.

--- Quote from: Ona on September 04, 2011, 10:32:35 PM ---As far as Kincaid saying Harry was as human as he was... Personally, I'm fascinated by Kincaid. And I'm quite sure that comment had meaning - and not just that being a Wizard is enough to differentiate himself from a vanilla human.
...
Kincaid is a scion. We know that now. And that he made his choice a long time ago. I really can't see him throwing out a comment like that in reference to something they both knew - that Dresden was a Wizard.
Not to say I know what it means. But I'm pretty sure it's important.

I instantly glommed onto Kincaid's comment when I read it, because I've suspected since very early on in the series that it would turn out that Malcolm Dresden was NOT actually Harry's birthfather. We know that Maggie, Sr. was a mortal wizard, so she's not the supernatural parent who would make Harry "just as human" as Kincaid. The logical conclusion, then, is that Harry's birthfather was supernatural.
I developed a theory about this last night after finishing Changes: Odin (or one of his own supernatural--not scion/crossbreed--offspring) is Harry's birthfather. It would certainly explain why Odin showed up for the battle at CI--his own life was on the line. It also explains why the Red King was determined to see the ritual through--if you take out Odin, you create a huge power vacuum. In fact, considering that one of Odin's traditional designations is "Allfather," it's possible that a bloodline curse involving Odin would make the extensiveness of what happened to the Red Court look inches-to-miles by comparison.
