Yup, I looked it up after reading your post:
the complete conversation:
(click to show/hide)(this is where they veer off into Body/Spirit/Soul philosophy, so ill cut there)
Bob is specifically saying that he only thinks Mabs' involved simply because she is in town, and seems to be specifically saying that IF they are working together its more of a one-time Marvel team-up sort of deal. He goes on to say that in the same way all the players are involved (Fomor, servators, Aristedes) but not that they are all on the same team, just on the same gameboard.

So does the much more limited context of Bob's assertion change you theory RE. Mab's involvement?

Insurance against Lord R turning on her.
--- Quote --- Granted, Eb isn't 100% in on the workings of everything, but given what he's said about it, it's far more likely that since Maggie couldn't reach him, she layered something else on top of his protection. Otherwise, if she could bypass it, she could just kill him.

Killing him would just kill him. Preventing him from feeding hobbles the whole White Court indefinitely. I'm not seeing why she'd think killing him was preferable.
peregrine:
Because he'd be dead.

--- End quote ---
If you mean the previous starborn a thousand years ago (I do not think we know that was the first) I don't believe Lord Raith is known to be that old; his paintings of the mothers of his children do not go back nearly that far.

In fact, Maggie's death curse had no effect of LRs' anti-magic shield, which is like a Tick's carapace. Her Death curse worked like a blanket, smothering Lord Raith from the outside and keeping him from drawing in the life energy he needed to feed upon. Harry described how it worked in BR.

Harry describes how he thinks it works, yes. There are at least two other plausible models for what could actually be going on there.
