fairly sure MM harry will look like Harry's ID, and his ID will look like harry because that's the side he supresses in his jungian shadow/subconscious.

I just dont see how anyone, no matter how nihilistic or prone to masochism, would willingly choose, even subconsciously, to look at battered as Harry now does with the oft-broken nose and other facial scars.

Simon makes the most sense.  I used to be part of Team; 'Cowl and Kumori are Harry and Molly from the future' but recently re-read Dead Beat and had the idea knocked out of me by the most obvious reason:  Cowl engages Dresden outside the bookshop while Kumori sneaks around to Harry's side of the pavement to whip the book from him, and Harry sees her.  Molly uses veils as second nature - it could never have been her.

It's probably been suggested somewhere before, but I couldn't find it.

Mirror Mirror Harry saves his ass by pulling other Harrys out of their universes and lets them bite the dust for him. It's supposedly a trick he copied from Kemmler, who used it a couple of times. (his Bob might have still had the knowledge and shared it with him)

I was thinking that maybe Cowl is one such Kemmler from another universe. The one who managed to make sure that the trick didn't work this time. Hence his contempt for the loser Kemmler and his lackeys. Despite the fact that he shares most of their hobbies.  He hasn't figured out how to get home yet, or maybe he doesn't want to because he's better off in this universe.

So far I haven't come up with a showstopper for this idea. If you find one, take it apart please  :)

I don't think it can be an unmet character - otherwise why hide his face.  He is clearly strong enough to play in the big leagues and wouldn't need to hide - unless he was supposed to be dead and isn't OR he is on the White Council as a spy.  I don't think he is currently on the White Council - that was Peabody.  I'm sure there are others there, but unless it is Arthur Langtry I don't see any other SC members possible.  Simon is a big guess, but he was a friend to McCoy and seems likely Peabody is responsible for his death.

That is why I vote for Justin Dumorne.  He has obvious ties to the Outsiders - and he was manipulating Harry since he took him under his wing.  With Kemmler's teachings (via Bob) he could have easily faked his death at Harry's hands.  That would also explain why Cowl doesn't just kill Harry and end it (even though he clearly could).  Justin has had plans for Harry all along - and a wizard that survived the assault on Kemmler probably isn't getting taken out by some apprentice...no matter how innately powerful Harry is.  Kimori = Elaine (she was never out from under Justin's control) - and Elaine's help in previous novels was all her part in leading Harry to the final manipulation.
