The Watchers
groinkick:
Jim has stated that there are those in the government that know about the supernatural world, and they are super secret. I started a previous thread on the Highlander series and immortals. On that series there are Watchers. I don't believe they work for any government but they are a super secret group of people who watch immortals, but don't interfere. At one point in the series a conflict broke out between immortals, and Watchers. The Watchers were killing immortals (who didn't know the Watchers even existed).
Anyways I'm wondering if this super secrete government agency that knows of the supernatural community is connected to Mac, and that's why he was called a Watcher (mortals who are aware of, and study the supernatural world in secret). It's speculation, and I still haven't abandoned the idea that Mac is more on the supernatural side of things but thought it would be a fun discussion.
I also think that if this is true, it would be interesting if sometime down the line just like the Watchers got involved in attacking immortals that at some point the secrete government agency involved with just monitoring the supernatural world decides to get involved for whatever reason.

They're part of the Library of Congress per some WoJ. Special Collections Division.

Ok cool. So it does sound like the fall under the non interference version of the Watchers from the Highlander series. If Mac worked for this group he would have access to vast vast information that even the White Council may no longer have access to.
Snark Knight:
I rather doubt getting one's bar listed as Accorded Neutral Ground is consistent with the level of secrecy the government spooks try to maintain.
I wonder, though, were the clued Feds in the comic Dog Men a branch of the Special Collections department? They didn't seem to mind LtW and Dresden knowing that they knew about the supernatural. Are there multiple clued in government groups?
Griffyn612:
The only threat the Watchers/Librarians would pose would be if they had Names. And even then, they wouldn't be able to do anything against the beings, since knowing a Name isn't enough to defeat a creature.
Now, if a Watcher/Librarian that knew Names were to team up with the Warden of the Well, who could use the Names to summon beings and use the Well to imprison them, then they'd be a viable threat. But after the very first time, any being that knew the W/L had their name and was willing to use it would move against them.
