Your guess at secret power/mantles of the Council
peregrine:
He hasn't done so yet, and granted, the most recent books haven't really involved the Council much, being more fae-centric, if the Warden is supposed to be in all these high level discussions, he'd have had a seat at the table during Changes.

I think Changes would be the exception, seeing as he was the one that started the war they were trying to peacefully end. That wouldn't be a good time to call him in for his first session.
Not that I'm saying it's likely or anything. But I could see it being some obsolete rule that gets used in a desperate political situation.

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.

Arianna knew. The Eebs said her plan was to avenge her husband who was "slain by the wizard of the black stick".

I'm not sure the Blackstaff position started with Merlin. He may not have even still been in the picture when MW's walking stick was taken to found the office. That seems to have probably happened around Hastings too.

Depends on how the Council got it. If Merlin had it, and Mother Winter expected it back from Merlin, but he found a loophole that kept it with the Council, it might not have been until Hastings that she "lost" it.
But yeah, probably not.

You know one of my theories is the "Walking Stick" is actually He Who Walks Beside... Harry said that it appeared alive, and the fact that it seems to consume negative energy, and killing is an inherit part of it's power increases that belief.
