What about Carlos term "the Black Hats"...

Here's a side question: why did Ebenezer look at Harry funny when Dresden named them the Black Council? Is it because Harry unknowingly used the same term Morgan and the Wardens had been using in secret? (Remember in Turn Coat, Morgan's "reflex" response was "THERE IS NO BLACK COUNCIL," not "There is no organized effort against us.")

Makes me wonder if Harry's a bit of a telepath; he was in a room with the Merlin and Morgan after all, and shortly after meeting Carlos, they both had precisely the same flippant "You don't get to be Merlin by collecting bottle caps" thought.

Not really related, so sorry if I'm derailing, but I thought it was an interesting question.

Note that there is a WoJ about the hat.   

Apparently LTW gave it to Ebenezer -- he took it off the head of the last paleface he killed for wiping out his village.

This is from Shecky (one of the betas) when he was cosplaying Ebenezer seven years ago:


--- Quote from: shecky ---Be sure you get old-school overalls, not something fancy and trendy; Ebenezar uses his clothes to work in. I don't remember where, but he was also described once with a white t-shirt, which will help with the Atlanta weather. Finally, he also wears spectacles—it's only mentioned in TC, but some fake wire-rims wouldn't hurt.

When I went to NYCC 2 years ago as Ebenezar, I used black latex to show the "infection" on his hand from the Blackstaff (which, oddly, only has the descriptions of "dark" and "twisted"). It was a fun little bit to add.

FWIW, I was a bit leery of shaving my head, so out of pique and a "what the hell" attitude, I sent a question to Jim about whether Eb wears a hat. He was MOST emphatic ("You bet he has a hat"); turns out he has a black leather OOOOOLD-style hat. Listens-to-Wind gave it to him at the end of their very long feud (Jim said the details are really horrible). LtW had taken it from the last surviving paleface from the group that killed his family, so yeah, it was an ugly thing all around. Anyway, this is the hat that I got and Jim approved fully:
