Marcone's heritage

It was just a heavy handed description while trying a noir theme. That’s it. I remember reading it the first time in Storm Front and thinking how noir cliche it was.
As to his lineage, I hope he’s just some guy. Not everyone needs to be supernatural and or related.

Noooot! lol. His younger self is described with "summer hunters green eyes" in direct correlation to his fae connotations. He's as archetypal as Dresden is and one of his main Archetypes Is Erlking. His heritage is unknown but i'd like to point out, his striking similarities to Macfinn and also... Uriel, think about Uriels eyes, his hair... compare the two.
None of this points to a precise heritage and i'm of the opinion Fae heritiage is actually effected by the current formation of the fae(meaning previously 'fae' wouldn't have been correct terminology or end state, which the Aesir and Vanir were NOT fairies but apparently were the two parties of the fairie war), But he does have something in his heritage... heck even his eye color change is something, It cooled and tempered by logical frost. one wonders if a choice wasn't attached he never even twigged to making.
--- Quote ---Not really. Most people say "I believe" or "my theory is..." or "I think", making it clear it's an opinion.

Easier to remember everything is perspective but the facts pointed out directly from book or woj. of course the rest of it's opinion. Even the interpretation of those facts betimes lol.

The only facts are what Butcher says are facts.

I've long argued that Marcone is Mab's son. :)
I've even argued that Marcone descends from Vadderung as I believe Harry descends from Vadderung too. I too have noted Gard's intent focus on Marcone as if she is trying to place him on some family tree. Although you think that perhaps she is linking him to someone close to Vadderung, I think she is seeing close similarities between Marcone and Harry. And she is getting a bit clued in on that, or at least a uncanny resemblance in behavior maybe even some looks between the two. Marcone and Harry have favorite restaurants, they have a no children rule, they have a strict no harm to my people rule, both are stuck in their ways, both have personal relationships with Mab, both are protectors of Chicago, both share many plots and same pages in the comics, both have relationships with Vadderung...
Fact: Marcone plays himself off as a paternal authority figure. (Jim video) See also text from first interaction between Harry and Marcone. There are several instances of father, grandfatherly, father to son, etc.
My theory gets a twist in trying to place time travel origins for Marcone and having his parents be both Murphy and Harry.
Note: In Fool Moon, right after the Loup-garou and Denton are defeated a Cold Front lands in Chicago. It's as if Mab arrives in Chicago upon that victory.
Quantus:
Fwiw, Im quite confident Marcone has Royal Heritage mixed in there somewhere... 8)
