Mirror Mirror Knights of the Cross
dspringer1:
Ok Uriel saw to it that Harry had possession of one of the Swords at the end of Death Masks and another at the end of Small Favor. However, the Harry in the Mirror Mirror world was already on a darker path at this time. Would Uriel have seen this and NOT given Harry the swords?
If so, then there could very well be three knights of the sword in the Mirror Mirror world. Presumably Sanya is one. The others might be new characters. I do not see Butters getting there without Harry's encouragement and I do not see Karin being a knight while dealing with the emotions of Harry going dark. Anybody else as an obvious candidate? I kinda like Georgia as a candidate as she is somewhat of an underutilized character and a genuinely good person.
PS: My own believe is that dark harry believes he is doing the right thing through dark means. As such, he would avoid his former allies as he would not want to hurt them. Harry is LOYAL to his friends. This means that there is a good chance that Harry's friends are going to be still around in the mirror mirror world. Not really friends anymore to the dark harry, but around.
My guess is that Dark Harry is now sufficiently dark that he would kill his old friends if they got in the way, but enough remains that he still "tries" to avoid situations where they would be in the way. But Harry's old friends are probably under no illusions about how dark "dark harry" has become.
Snark Knight:
Well, there's that WOJ that Mirror Marcone was going to be "interesting".
It's conceivable that if -Harry was already on a markedly darker path by that time, his involvement in the Shroud affair might have been much smaller, and Marcone would have had to take a more direct hand instead of sitting back and assuming Harry would do most of the heavy lifting. That could lead to most of his criminal henchmen getting killed going up against the Denarians, and some sort of inspirational push from Shiro to renounce his old life and become a Knight.

One of the things I believe went differently in Grave Peril is that Amoracchius was destroyed, so I think there will only be two. Sanya might've been killed in the opening act of Death Masks, by Ursiel, because Michael wasn't fighting with him. Because it's the sword of Hope, the obvious choice is Hope Carpenter (kidding).
Shiro is presumably also dead, of cancer if not action, so I'm passing on his Sword too.
I'm going to speak in terms of Two Knights.
Georgia would be interesting; I think she's underused—she shows up to be a headshrinker, then fades from the narrative an awful lot. There's something to be said for being one of two women in a loving, healthy, functional long-term relationship—the other being Charity. I could see her with Faith.
Marcone is a staple choice of Sword Wielders in the future, and I think Hope fits him just as well as Love. There are too many times when he's taken action when no one else would, or shown up as the proverbial cavalry. Narratively, Marcone's responsible for a whole lot of Hope Spots. He's also got some moves, what with all the knife-throwing. So sure, I could see that.
To narratively fit broken faith restored, how about Morty as an off-the-wall choice? Grave Peril marks a turning point for his character, so I don't see why Harry from the Darkest Timeline and he couldn't work together more as equals.

I just do not see Marcone being a knight. He may play a critical role, but part of who Marcone is -- is a crime boss. I cannot image a crime boss being a knight of the cross.

Hmm Mirror-Mirror Gard might be someone that Harry should be VERY wary of... The Choosers of the dead were not exactly nice.
