Cowl's Identity [FPOTM2 11.2016]

Firestarter:
Cowl being Justin or a similar person who's somewhat familiar with Harry makes a bit of sense - He was aware of Harry but didn't know his skills in detail.
If we consider the fact that he's not actually trying to kill Harry, just throws stuff at him to "slow him down" that he expects Harry to just deflect, it makes sense.
This is why it makes no sense to me for Cowl to be anyone really close to Harry - they could outmaneuver Harry a lot more easily.
Elaine can counter Harry easily as well. So no reason for her to be pussy-footing around Harry in Dead Beat. The same for Cowl if he had been close to Harry or even alternate Harry. Even alternate versions of a person are still the person in question.
And later on Cowl apparently decides to actually try and kill Harry. No reason doing it like that; if they are close to Harry, they could simply get in and poison him or shoot him or use any other way of getting rid of the obstacle.
Walter the skull:
I voted for Justin. I don't think its Simon because of the following WOJ.
Q: What death curses are able to do? How powerful can they be? Why don’t more wizards just use die as their curse? Its short and kills your killer.
A: They sometimes do. :) See what happened to all the vampires around Simon when they assaulted his compound immediately prior to the onstage events in Summer Knight.
The answer continues and talks about Harry's Mom's death curse.

Posit: If a wizard has an immortal mantle, and uses a death curse at a non-conjunction point in space time, does the wizard reform after?
Sattymike:
If Cowl is an as yet unmet individual, how strange that Ebenezer would not have some idea around who it might have been. Can’t be too many practitioners of that strength running around unaccounted for, or ones that had demonstrated similar casting style in the past. I would think Harry would have closely described that encounter to Ebenezer to find out if it rang any bells. And Eb goes back a ways.
