A Cowl WAG - I promise it's new

Personally I don't like Langtry, but I do think he wants to keep the council together. I don't believe he's working with the Black Council or anyone else. I think he was compromised by Peabody.
I think that Peabody compromised a BUNCH of the Wizards who frequented the Headquarters. I think Luccio got a double whammy. I think she was hit before and after her body swap, and that after was especially hard because she'd already been hammered as a more mature Wizard.
Firestarter:
First of all, I don't think, that Simon Petrovich is Cowl. Why? "Where is the Russian?" Cowl, from what I can remember, has a Germanic accent. Not Russian.
Langtry is a politician. He does what he can to stay in power and keep the White council together. That's why people who rebel aren't liked by him.
Camp Kaboom was hit some time before White Night.
Cowl doesn't like "the bad man Kemmler". Maybe we've seen his character, maybe not. It might be interesting, but I don't recall any characters with a German [ ok, it's also possible to be Netherland ] accent. But given, that Die Lieder des Erlkönigs were collected in Germany, he is already familiar with summoning Herne the Hunter.

I never thought of Cowl as having a German accent or really any kind of accent. The only clue Cowl might be German is he knew the difference between Shubert's music Erlkönig and Goethe's poem, which provide the words used in the song. However, you don't have to be Austrian or German to know who those two people were. Harry has any affinity for classical music so he's heard of Franz Shubert and probably went to concerts where his music was played. Whether he's read much poetry or anything by Goethe is something we have no way of knowing, but I wouldn't be surprised if Harry is much better read than the average college graduate because he doesn't have a TV, radio or the internet.

Maybe Cowl already knew about summoning Herne the Hunter or maybe he he didn't care who called him as long as it was done close enough for Cowl's purposes. Destroying the books was one way to prevent someone in say Milwaukee from calling up Lord Herne on the very night Cowl needed him in Chicago.

I think it would make for a better story for Cowl to be someone that Harry has heard about or seen than for it to be some unknown magic-user that has been around for 100+ years and was never foreshadowed.
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: raidem on September 01, 2017, 01:58:56 PM ---Wait which book did camp kaboom get hit. It wasn't dead beat which I think you believe, snark. That is why our argument that we don't know when she was tampered with is valid. We aren't saying, or at least I'm not saying that she was tampered with pre dead beat beyond anything subtle like other senior council members were.

There were two training camps attacked - the one in PG that Michael helped Eb and the other SC heavies evacuate survivors from, and Camp Kaboom from Harry's flashback in WN that was hit by the ghoul raiders (even in the flashback, he was a Warden, so it had to be at most between DB and WN).
I don't think either was necessarily even anything to do with Luccio being compromised though. That's one possibility, but it's also possible Peabody might just have got a look at documents showing the locations and been overlooked as a suspect.
