Maggie Sr
Mr. Death:
I could see Kemmler as a situation where a lot of people were deputized as Wardens, then took off the grey afterward.
I could also see a battle like that being traumatic enough that some Wardens would just outright retire.
So I can buy a couple ways DuMorne could've been a Warden at that point, then left the service.
We also don't know when Ebenezer found out about DuMorne's connection with Maggie Sr., or his general dastardliness. He doesn't say, "I knew at the time that Maggie had taken up with DuMorne, and it was well known that DuMorne was a bad guy at the time." In fact, a Senior Council member in Summer Knight is able to make the argument that Harry made up everything about DuMorne, so his being a bad guy isn't universally known or accepted.
Most likely, Ebenezer is talking about things he only learned long after the fact.

Personally I think DuMorne was at that dinner party that Eb attended. But there's no evidence for it. I do think if he was, he might have already been a retired warden.

It occurs to me that when Bob told Harry to bury his the skull between killing Justin and being taken in for trial, he was taking an awful risk of being left buried indefinitely if the Wardens had just executed Harry. I wonder if he knew enough to predict Eb would step up, or it was just an act of desperation to go with a strong chance of being buried forever over a certainty of being destroyed if he was caught with Harry?

Probably a gamble. But someone randomly finding it is better odds than surviving the wardens.
Mr. Death:
Bob's already hundreds of years old. He might not like being buried (he whines about it in the margins of the RPG book), but he can take it and it's preferable to the Wardens finding him and destroying him.
