I agree...with a caveat.  I don't think it's likely that Cowl is actually Kemmler, but it could be so, if something happened since 1961 to erase some of Kemmler's memory.  That's not entirely inconceivable.  After all, the White Council killed Kemmler real good in 1961.  Repeatedly.  Using various methods of execution.

I could imagine that whatever allowed Kemmler to escape and revive might leave him 'damaged' after that.  His memory might be scrambled, even his personality not entirely intact.

As I said, I doubt Cowl is Kemmler, but we can't absolutely rule it out.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Time travel

We are seeing a version of Kemmler in the main story sequence just after a Fist Full of Warlocks,  but well before 1961 on his personal time-line AND before the Word? (Not read Warlocks)

A body swap unless to another strong wizard would leave Kemmler like Luccio, diminshed, but instead summon a version of yourself from another universe kill them (or bodyswap and kill) to leave a perfect corpse behind and time jump so there is no version of yourself to be tracked down in that time period by anyone or anything. You can find that which currently doesn't exis, even in a parallel world. That would explain all of Kemmlers deaths, and Kemmler was merely using the Word as misdirection. If Kemmler is going to break one law of Wizardry, he probably broke them all.

If Warlocks is a clue to Kemmlers modus operandi, so probably is Mirror, Mirror, Mirror Dresden has merely hit upon part of the same idea.

Harry breaks all the laws eventually, perhaps chasing Kemmler/Cowl is how he timetravels

That's inspired man, and goes well with my idea the 6th time produces the seventh version, whom like Yrrah will learn, is not to be trifled with.

I could see cowl attempting to reclaim kemmler power, but in his own manner. Kemmler wanted to carry out the dark hollow ritual as outlined in his book, but cowl seemed reluctant. I am betting he has his own dark Ascension ritual planned, possibly using BCV. Power is not his sole target.

kbrizzle:
I had a crazy WAG about this a few days ago after re-watching the final Harry Potter movie (meh it was on) - it got me thinking though, what if Cowl was Kemmler? More specifically a Horcrux of Kemmler?

With Bob being able to cast out part of himself (Evil Bob who seems to have sentience & motivation independent of real Bob), wouldn't it be possible for a very powerful body jumping wizard to leave some of his conciousness inside someone else as a security measure, perhaps as a sleeper agent? If possible, it would be a very effective counter measure against the White Council.

If this 'Horcrux' were made before Kemmler discovered the complete Darkhallow, it would make sense why he hunted for Bob instead of the books in Dead Beat.
