Cowl's Identity [FPOTM2 11.2016]

--- Quote from: Foxed on July 03, 2017, 08:41:22 PM ---I voted Cristos, but a deep reread of Dead Beat has me thinking that, based solely on just that book, Cowl's first named appearance in the series, Cowl must be DuMorne. Jim subtly slides in plenty of information about DuMorne in Dead Beat, and Cowl knows what DuMorne would know, like that Harry has the Word of Kemmler right there in Bob.

My issue with DuMorne, aside from him being dead, is that he'd know just how dangerous Harry was, and the wardens comment would be out of place.

I have my own theories about his 'death' but, I actually read that the opposite. When he attacks harry its with the air of the old master testing out his long lost student. "disappointed, thought you were ready for the big leagues." or something similar. Compare that to anything you can think of with long lost mentor and them wanting to test their student. Only example that directly comes to mind is Stick and Daredevil.

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 :)

Is this a theory or a WOJ? I always thought Kemmler and by extension Cowl used Necromancy to survive death curses, it would fit the theme of each of Kemmler's apprentices using one of his abilities, and Cowl being the most dangerous chose the most useful ability.

To the best of my knowledge it not confirmed anywhere that Kemmler used it, and Im not even sure it was confirmed that MM Harry had done it before. But I dont recall the details of the original source on those, so I cant say that for certain.

Not sure either, I remember it was quote on MM harry and how he kept doing that. Then people applied the logic of, He learned it from evil Bob, and came out with Kemmler dying multiple times probably included other versions.
