The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Which absent villian will appear in Peace Talks?

Rudolph annoyed the crap out of me. I hope the next time we see him is in a padded cell with a straitjacket. As far as Langtry goes, I see him as a reluctant supporter of Harry due to Harry's actions in Changes and his ties to Mab.

Oh yeah, me too. I was mostly joking, though I do think Rudolph might show up. It was only a minor consolation that Rudolph got screwed over every time he showed up. I still don't get what was behind his extreme character derailment after Fool Moon. He was too stupid for it to be Nemesis, at least directly.
I'm with you on Langtry. I don't see him as directly antagonistic toward Harry. In my opinion, his actions are motivated by The Greater Good. He was trying to avoid a war, and trading one wizard's life is worth it—I couldn't say that I wouldn't try to do the same in his position. It's also worth noting that we haven't really seen him much since Peabody's ink has left his system. The one time we did, he was far, FAR more ready to throw down with the Reds than he had been, and might have been willing to support Harry's attack if the White Council wasn't crippled by Cristos later on.
He'll probably still be pissed at Harry for creating such a huge power vacuum after Changes, and he'll likely be annoyed that Harry is beyond his reach now that he's the Winter Knight. If he also knows that he's the Warden, I think he'll have a minor heart attack, just at the thought of so much power being in one person's hands.
To be honest, the highlight for me won't be returning villains, it'll be seeing most (if not all) of the people we haven't for several books.

He knows. Ebenezar's journal entry at the end of TC mentioned the Merlin wanting to put Harry under surveillance, whereas Eb thinks Harry is one of the few he would trust with "that mantle".
As for the power vaccuum, I'm sure he's not happy about it, but it's not like he can really pin much blame on Harry when he outright told him the goal was to exterminate the Reds. Well, mission accomplished.

That being said, I believe that the 16-year old love IS true. It may not be mature, but it is true. Yes it is at times wrapped up with a bit of hormones and selfishness, but it's also very strongly felt and THEY think it's true.
A lot of magic is dependent upon belief. No real reason this couldn't work based on belief as well.

Magic has a lot to do with emotions, and I think that young love is similarly wrapped up in emotions and passion along with the hormones. And a lot of the time, the young are in love with the 'idea' of being in love. But I think that True Love is deeper than just the emotions and the passion. There's no doubt that Harry and Karrin love each other, their willingness to kill or be killed for the other shows that quite readily, the question should be whether or not their love has evolved into a romantic, 'committed' love that would protect them from the WCV's. Personally, based on the end of SG, I'd say yes.

I dunno, I reckon you'd be surprised by exactly how much people can blame Harry for.
