The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Which absent villian will appear in Peace Talks?
raidem:
It depends if erlking wanted the eebs preserved. And I don't think rafferout is nemfected. Maybe it was the one big guy who wanted to kill both groups. It was his advice that erlking rejected.

Darth Wannabe rolling up as a Fomor Servitor, or even better as the "Semi-immortal shapeshifting guru" that was mentioned as an Independant Signatory. I'd love it if Darth was something super-powerful that was just trolling Dresden.

I wouldn't. I really wouldn't.
We've already got plenty of hidden powers and forces. One reason that that short story was so good was precisely that it didn't have that, it was just a day off that kept trying to go south. I absolutely loved the interaction between Harry and DW, it was just about a perfect scene, esp. the bit where Darth was more afraid of Harry's .44 than he was Harry's magic (which tells us something about just how ignorant of who and what he was dealing with DW was).
Let DW be DW.

I wouldn't call Lara Raith exactly a villain... She is more of a predator than a villain in my opinion..

As I noted once a long time ago, we should ask Anna Ashe for her analysis of Lara's nature...but we can't.
Even her predatory nature only goes so far. From the POV of a rabbit, a wolf is a villain. It doesn't make much difference from the rabbit's POV if the wolf is not 'evil' in the larger scheme of things, any more than it matter from the wolf's POV that the bear that stole its kill is not 'evil'. It's still a threat to be dealt with, it's an enemy because of what it is. The prey isn't safe until the predator is neutralized.
Lara arranged for the deaths of Anna Ashe and the other minor practitioners (albeit indirectly) not out of hunger, but because it made sense as a move in the Game.

They're enemies...but also frenemies, sorta. I think Harry wants to hate her, but can't quite, she'd like to corrupt him, but is glad when he refuses. It's a mess.

Sounds like the beginning of a totally dysfunctional romance.
