What's Up With Marcone?
Quantus:
I think Marcone will remain a vanilla Mortal (unless and until he gets killed, at which point all bets are off). Like Murphy I think he serves to show that Mortals can and do stand up to and beside the Supernatural world. I also think he is going to be a King..."not the King we want but maybe the King we need" (to paraphrase a meme or something). A king that Odin would be proud of...

Nowhere has it been said there are more, let alone millions.

The crazy thing is, around the KC signing when I was more active I either read or listened to a ton of Woj I can no longer seem to locate... If i'd known it would become so scarce i'd have done more to preserve what i'd found. Honestly though there are tidbit's in old, old links already transcribed the original scribe had seen no importance to but which I did. I doubt that's one of them of course, but i'd never, ever had trouble with woj before that time period.
* I even thought griff had made a thread on it, but I could be confusing that with his statistical thing on wikifandom.

He can't be the only one to think big like this, though. Are there other Marcone equivalents across the globe? Mortals who have built small, clandestine empires that interact with the supernatural on a regular basis? If not, why? What's different about Marcone?

One of the biggest differences is that Marcone is in Chicago. Chicago is one of the major crossroads of the world leading to a higher rate of supernatural occurrences. Of course, it is also home to a certain wizard who has a pretty strong moral code. It is only natural that Harry and Marcone would come into conflict and unless Marcone wants to pick up and move to a different city it is also only natural that Marcone would research his opposition in order to gain the upper hand. This would lead to the discovery of the supernatural world and Marcone saw the chance to make a bigger splash and more profit and took advantage of it.

That and the fact that Bony Tony got hold of (at least in part) a Supernatural Being's treasure hoard. That would have clued Marcone in too.
