mythological figures we'd like to see

mithrandirthewhite:
Or maybe Krampus held the mantal before Kringle, or stole the mantle from Kringle for a time.

gospelmage:
hmm...what if Listens-to-Wind is actually Coyote?  A shapeshifting trickster god. LTW is the best shapeshifter Harry knows of.
another theory would be what if Coyote is Loki?

If Listens t Wind was CoyoteI would expect some of it to show in his character.

Dave Mallonee:
There are a lot of names already mentioned that I would second; Black Peter/Krampus (which could be a mantle someone else wears), Surtr (I'm really more familiar with the Marvel version, how different is he?) , the Nuckalavee (never heard of it but the pictures were freaky and the description made it sound like something I would enjoy seeing Harry freak out about dealing with), Athena (absolutely, especially if the Parasite/Lash thing plays out in anything like her birth from Zeus's head), Coyote, Pele (which would hopefully finally get us that Murphy/ Kincaid Hawaii story Jim has teased us with since Dead Beat), that weird Brazilian fairy with the backwards feet, Baba Yaga (or just Mother Winter in Baba Yaga mantle mode), Tiamat (she has a page in the Monster Manual and a Saturday morning cartoon for a reason, right?) and Thor (whether or not my WAG of him being Hendricks is true I figure his presence has to be felt sooner or later with Vadderung showing up so much)

I'd also like to see Ananzi, since he's the original Spider-man and Harry is a follower of the Tao of Peter Parker. I know Neil Gaiman has used him fairly promiminently but so what? You could have said the same thing about Odin but Donar Vadderung is no Mr. Wednsday. Although if Ananzi, Coyote, and Loki show up we might be overloaded on tricksters to the point where Harry's head explodes. Conversely if you had Ananzi and Athena appear at the same time that could be interesting given her feelings for spiders... unless Ananzi's wife is one of Athena's mantles.

Whatever happens and whoever appears I'm sure it will continue to provide additional opportunities for the characters who star in the series; Harry, Murphy, Molly, Thomas, Marcone, Toot-Toot, Mouse; to continue having crowning moments of awesomeness as they adapt and overcome it all. Which I can't wait to see.

The Reaver:

But since Celti mythology ties more knots than the Summers Family Tree who truly knows anymore?

That mentions that the tuath'an fought a race of giants called the Fomorians. Connection to the Fomor, perhaps?
