Could Mavra be under Eb's control?

(1/24) > >>

groinkick:
When Harry was badly burned Mavra made her escape....  We never really know what Eb was doing at the time.  Locking down her magic somehow...  Here is the thing.  Does anyone else find it odd that Blackstaff Mccoy, a very powerful wizard who was Captain of the Wardens, and who's living is to hunt down dangerous, and powerful things that would target the White Council would not have found her when she was making her leave from the scene? 

I'm wondering if at that time he did find her, and as the Blackstaff used Necromancy to control her.  At a later date Eb used her to get the Book of Kemmler, something that sounds like it would fall under the Blackstaff's duty to get a hold of.

What say you?

Snark Knight:
Controlling something with necromancy seems fairly concentration-intensive from all the other examples we've seen. Being half a world away fighting a couple pitched battles with the Red Court seems like less than ideal circumstances.

If he needs Harry to get it for him, just telling him there's a book of seriously bad juju on the market in his town and he needs to stow his feelings about the blackstaff revelation for a few days and go get it before someone else does seems like a more direct solution than puppeting Mavra into blackmailing Harry.

raidem:
I'm sure eb has plans involving mavra.  I seriously doubt he didn't know exactly who Harry was going up against in blood rites.  But I'd imagine even probably also thought Harry needed lessons.  And I think mavra has been successful at teaching Harry via burned hand, etc.

Jack of Hearts:
I'm not exactly sure what was going on but it did feel odd to me that Eb didn't do more during that rescue mission other than lock down Mavra's magic. Why wouldn't he do more? From what I remember even Kincaid wasn't confident that they would make it out alive and he's supposedly on Eb's level. It feels like at the very least there was something else going on during that time that we aren't aware of yet.

peregrine:
From a story point, I find it unlikely that a major adversary is going to then suddenly be under the control of an ally of Harry.
