Sure.
I'm not saying that Simon must be Cowl. I'm just saying that if Cowl is a known character, then it must be Simon.
And it's far from certain that any other SC-council level wizard exists: in Dead Beat Harry says:
--- Quote from: Dead Beat --- An offensive action like a full assault from the Senior Council, the seven oldest and strongest wizards on the planet, had been long overdue.

Luccio says:
--- Quote ---"And frankly, we must protect the lives of the Senior Council. So long as they are concealed from the enemy and still able to take action, they are a dangerous force. Together they wield more power than any hundred members of the Council, and it can be concentrated with deadly effect,

Which seems to imply that the SC is the Top 7 among wizards.

What about all the other senior council candidates in Summer Knight?

in SK they listed a half dozen possibilities.. including lucciozi, who made Eb twitch, who went missing in south america right before the war started, who may be related to luccio..
he got just as much "screen time" as Simon, and is of SC level. so why not him?
;D

Actually, all we know about Luciozzi is that he/she went on a sabbatical, wizard Montjoy is the one who went on the research trip into the Yucatan.

--- Quote from: madness on January 14, 2013, 02:20:36 AM ---I don't see how it would be easy for a White Council trained wizard to live 250-300 years while amassing such skill and power without his peers (similarly old and powerful wizards) knowing about him.
It is sort of like having some super duper movie assassin pop-up that no one knows about. The odds are really, really good that they had serious military training at some point.
They can probably physically hide but they can't hide their identity (if they walk around with no disguise) because the community is just too small and the skillset is just too unique. Someone in the community will recognize them.
Harry and Elaine are really the only examples of White Council educated wizards that we who were not known to the White Council during their apprenticeships. Even Kemmler's disciples were known to the White Council (and if I had to guess I would say that they were actual members who defected or were corrupted).

Molly was being trained by Lea. I don't see why a wizard has to be in the White Council.

Ah I see. I suggest making that a bit more clear in the OP.
Both Harry and Luccio are people with limited knowledge. I can see them easily being mistaken.
