Harry's murders of Non-humans! (Cold Days spoilers)

--- Quote ---I would argue that the second was sanctioned by Mab as well, by the fact that she then danced with Harry. In Mab's realm Power is the law. Harry was establishing where he was on the Power scale, and Mab approved of it.

The fact that something may or may not be sanctioned by Mab doesn't absolve Harry from right or wrong in the matter. I suspect Mab would quite approve of a Harry that becomes a monster.

Harry is all concerned about himself going bad. It will start with him abusing the sidhe and then from there get worse.
I have wondered if perhaps Harry's instructions to Cat Sith or Harry's new rule led to Cat Sith being susceptible to a mortal who infects him.

I know that! I recall someone else calling him out on it about the fairy death was overkill or went over the line. If I recall correctly it was in the thread about harry list of crimes.
so I have to find the quote.

Did you see the link that I included to where I talked about it under the "apprentices" thread.

Sidhe killing Sidhe is not likely that uncommon. Harry is a member of the winter court, and therefore likely considered Sidhe for the purpose of inter faerie relations, laws and customs.
Would this kind of behavior normally be tolerated during a social function of Mab’s? We don’t know, but I think at this point Mab is still taking measure of her new knight, judging the boundaries and ethics Harry is going to try and work within as Winter Knight. The loss of one Sidhe Lord among likely thousands is not that big a deal from her POV.
Would this mean Harry is tainted but breaking one of the laws of magic? No. The black magic taint only applies when killing mortals. Killing Sidhe is no more taint worthy than killing a vampire. Also it is unclear if the black magic taint would apply if Harry used winter power to kill a mortal… as any one asked JB that question?
Does this mean Harry is getting colder and more ruthless? Yep, Mab in general is happy with Harry’s development, even if she might have preferred not losing the Sidhe Lord.
Sapient… well yes, but (I’ve said this before) the DV seems to be “soul centric” meaning it is not Star trek the Next Generation wherein all intelligent life is honored and treated with respect by a Federation with open arms… it seems that only the mortals with souls seem to count… at least form the narrative we have seen so far. In general killing soulless monsters is Ok.
