We know this current Mab was a Winter Lady before becoming who she is today.  So an earlier Mab would not have been Murphy, or Molly so her Name could still be tied to older legends, or myths.

raidem:
So, Murphy becomes a winter lady in the past and works her way up.  Harry will end up time traveling.  He may end up bringing some of his allies with him.  It would be a great place for Murphy to get stranded in.

That or Murphy's family reunion disappears like Milwaukee gets disappeared during the unseelie invasion 1994.  If the reunion gets transported back in time, it could give Murphy an opening to do something.

That said, I could see mab as not some current character that went into the past to become her. That she has natural origins.

I just think Murphy is destined to be a Mab character when this is done.

"Last time a Starborn was running around"...  It was actually Dresden!  His actions result in a Lady dying, Mantle goes to Murphy who's with him.  Only problem is I think she needs to be a virgin?  I dunno.

jonas:
Oh God, that's such a large scope question my mind is having trouble breaking it down. Short answer is Arthurian legend is of paramount importance in the DF. It's my belief that the they are the most previous generation to ascend or change places with current immortal identities.(i.e. by mantle or subsumption)
Tangent- the gyre and the reversal of time/fate met a head in the Arthur/Hastings period were in the mortals became the god's as the 2k gyre mirrors itself not only in repetition but in the breaking down actions of 1k vs the second. The predication of the idea that Arthur has been identified with such hunter/death mythos in the pas as Gwyn ap Nudd and the idea he became perhaps EK seems reasonable to say, Merlin becoming Odin/Kringle. The deference in wisdom seen in CD's to Kringles expertise is only a small example of said relationship...
And.. it must be noted that the current inversion/incarnations are Harry and Marcone...
*the intentional collision of Celtic and Christian ideals seen in FM in  Marcone's yard cannot be ignored easily even if you can't find reason in the queen names/connections. Also the real world connection between Merlin the Wanderer and Odin..
