Your guess at secret power/mantles of the Council
groinkick:
Jim has said that those on the Senior Council have secret powers that they don't tell anyone else about. So just for fun based on the personalities/traits/ancestry of Council members what would you guess each of them have up their sleeves? For example Injun Joe might have access to a powerful Mantle based on Native American lore. Heck maybe Injun Joe IS Goodman Grey.
Lost Merlin:
We already know some of them ie the GateKeeper, the Blackstaff, and the Merlin. Here are some fun maybe serious others.
Merlin Arthur Langtry - Supreme Bottle Cap Collector - Allows him to infinitely stack items. So one million bottle caps appear as just one bottle cap. Also works with other items.
Ancient Mai - Dragon Princess - Allows her to commune with little d dragons and manipulate them.
Injun Joe (LtW) - Genus Loci with Continental America/North America. Obviously given the vast knowledge there and size it isn't as easy to communicate with as Harry and Alfred.

Don't believe so. According to Jim they keep their powers secret. Gatekeeper, Blackstaff, and Merlin are well known. So they probably have other abilities.
Quantus:
Im actually still uncertain how "well known" the Blackstaff position really is. Technically the only person that are confirmed to know besides McCoy and Harry is Kincaid, a seemingly immortal *Something* who's past and current employers would both have access to that sort of uber-secret knowledge. We assume that the full SC would have to know or else the "License to Lawbreak" wouldnt be feasible, and there is strong implication that Arianna knew about it given she connected the dots from the satellite attack to McCoy specifically.
But the whole concept of the Blackstaff would undermine the crap out of the Council if it were common knowledge, just as it nearly did to harry when he found out. It would very much be a guarded state secret, if not a 100% perfectly kept one.

Jim worded it that not even other wizards know about the power... Senior members know who the Blackstaff is, and who Gatekeeper is.
