The Well of Demonreach and the White Council?

Long time lurker, very rare poster, first time new topic starter. You know how it goes.

I apologize if this topic has been discussed elsewhere, and I'd gladly accept re-directions to another thread, but I was just curious about the Well, the Warden, and how much, if at all, that whole shindig is affiliated with the WC? Are they *in charge* of it? Is the Warden a White Council role? I haven't read the books in a while (almost out of school, so I'm up for a re-read in a few weeks) but I recall that Ebenezer, Listens-to Wind, and the Gatekeeper seemed to appreciate Demonreach for what it is, Ancient Mai seemed clueless, Luccio might know something, and I don't think we have had any indication on Langtry's knowledge about the island. Ebenezer even was hinted at having a somewhat more intimate knowledge of the history of Warden succession. We also know that OM created both Demonreach and the White Council, so... are they officially affiliated? Or unrelated projects of Merlin? How much do we know about that?

RobReece:
I think that it similar to the position of Gatekeeper.  They are titles (mantles?) to be held, but the majority of even the WC don't really know their significance.  Wether or not they can be held by a non-wizard I don't think has been discussed.

Darkest-Before-Dawn:
It seems like the position of Warden of Demonreach might predate the WC as we know it too. Considering when Harry mentions "the wardens" and Demonreach tells him "First there was one, now there are many". That seems to imply the wardens in the WC were named for The Warden.

I look at it as this.  That maybe the original purpose for the WC and DR was to work together as a supernatural police to protect 'Vanillas'.  Over time and with fewer and fewer 'major' threats, the post of The Warden became the offices of wardens as it is now. 

jonas:
The connection is the warlocks are invaded by the sleepers, it's why they actually believe they are a 'god'. they believe it enough it would be low level real even without the power to back it up. But as we know Warlocks eventually are replaced by something, so it's actually this something that 'believes' in its' godhood, probably rightly so when not stuck in a human Larva. It' the things in the well, it's why the wardens hunt and kill warlocks.
