I lean more towards the main cast having Arthurian parallels rather than being reincarnations or pre-destined mantle-bearers.
But Butters making a joke about a lightsaber was foreshadowing, so I'm not ruling anything out these days.

I wasn't suggesting they were pre-destined. The *hints* would just be Jim playing around with us like Butters and the light saber. It wasn't predestined in story (I don't think), just a little thing Jim dropped in there.
I do agree with the Arthurian parallels idea though... To me it feels like Harry Dresden is walking a similar path to Merlin.

Path being the operative word here.(one I think rai can appreciate)But it's folly to limit it to simply Arthurian mythos or Merlin in said mythos. That's part and parcel why the Hades parallel scene was put in, to show a wider and wider scope of connections. GK and his appearance vs his domain being across the surface of the moon and other associations as a likely Horus put's Egyptian mythos firmly on the map too... how many is this now... Arthur, Christian, Egyptian, Greek/roman(I'd categorically have them the same).... and Norse? ^.- Mmm that's five directly connected mythos, until we see a sixth perhaps the five timelines entwined works quite well?
raidem:
In storm front, Harry ended up using lightning from the storm. So there is something rather Odin, Thor like with Harry, but I don't think he is Thor. I still like the idea that Harry descends from some multiversal amber like family particularly on his father's side. I like that Harry's ancestry goes back to some corwin character that created a multiverse in line with amber. This same royal family could take up other mantles, so they could appear as other gods, cultural, mythological figures.

well this whole thor and odin talk is good but thanks to my last vacation. we kinda not know all things as there is people thinking zeus was fertility god instead of the storm god thus with idocity of the current world all i can say may be Ragnarok was a poker turnament that harry gonna attend as bodyguard of some out of blue person. as what faction i like to see in the remaining books my main pic goes to either vodoo pantheon( not that small loa of knowledge but more lake baron samedi himself) or poynesian pantheon. As story hook to intruduce them how about going out of chicago for a full book where harry works with new temporary cast of people
