Indeed. Griff was supporting you ;)

Indeed. With unsourced evidence and irrelevant statistics. Which is about the best I can provide these days. :D

Bah, statistics are always irrelevant. :) Chaos theory proves if you look at a statistical system the same pattern will repeat itself on every scale. Plus scientists willingly admit that numbers are made up constructs we use as placeholders to define reality. Which is probably good correlation for why 2+2=5 came outa something from beyond reality ???
wardenferry419:
Looking at the poll, Simon has almost half the votes. I wonder the reasons why. My reason is repetitive mentions and elimination of most of the Senior Council. Cristos is possible exception.
Anubissama:
The reasons I usually give are the following:
As you mentioned he is a character introduced in a "by the way" style, the same as another traitor of the Council, Peabody.
Cowl uses pseudo-Slavic for his spells ("dorosh" is a Russian surname but no actual word in Russian, similar like Dresden pseudo-Latin) which suggest that he is from somewhere with Slavic ethnicities, like Russia, where Archangel, Simons stronghold is. Similar to Dresden who doesn't use proper Latin for his spells but bastardises it because he uses the real thing. Where he NOT from Russia (or around) he could use proper Russian for his spells.
Both Cowl and Dresden use hands crossed at their wrists as defence position against magical attack. Which is not a common or standard position since for example, Peabody uses the "Doctor Strange" hand position to deflect attacks. If Cowl where Simon (who taught DuMorne) it would explain why he and Dresden ended up with the same magical gestures. From one master to the next student. The same way the Council first suspected Harry of leaking the information about Archangels Wards because he was DuMorne's student.
Cowl hands are covered in scars, probably battle scars, since Wardens and the Archangel Brute Squad where the only groups of Wizard to regularly see combat before the War, this suggests that Cowl belonged to one of those groups.
As Senior Council responsible for the "Brute Squad" he would obviously be consulted by the Wardens, and maybe be there go to guy on the Senior Council which would be a handy way to learn about Dresden and be interested "what makes the Warden so nervous about you [Dresden]".
Petrovich was supposed to be the Council's expert on vampires, and every time we've seen Cowl he's associating with vampires (Dead Beat the deal with the Red Court to destroy Edinburgh defences, White Night the putsch in the White Court).
Shift8:
Question: Do we know for certain what cowls motives or goals are? Like do we know if he is evil or not? I cant recall everything he did in the books well enough to say for myself.
But I do remember him being disgusted with the idea that he was referred to as a kemmlerite. And wasnt Kumori like super polite to Dresden or something?
Like I find it really strange that Simon would build all those wards into his defenses only to sabotage his own stuff so vampires could kill him. That makes no sense.
What if he isnt Simon, but is a relative of Simons? That would explain how he might have different goals or motives, but would also explain why he needs to hide his face still. It would also explain how he might know Simons defenses so well as to sabotage them.
