Dina:
I am sorry, not idea :'(. I don't really watch the videos because I don't understand them (English is not my language, and I can read pretty well but I struggle with listening). I read some transcriptions but I seldom pay attention to when or where they happened.

Gotcha. I'm like that with french; I grew up in french immersion, spoke and understood it perfectly, and then 16 years passed after elementary school and I can maybe read chunks of it now. On a good day. Still can't type it, though.

I'm sure there's even more to it, But what they've used him for is to effect their Will on reality by proxy of a Willful Cat's paw.

I also missed this. Possibly true, but even Fix said the Winter Knight's job is to kill for Mab, and I would think that he's pretty clued in. Maybe he's biased, sure, but I doubt he'd lie to Harry about something so important unless he was forced to. And yeah, obviously the Knight's job covers more than just killing- being loaned out as muscle, for example. But I can't help but feel it's the most important or prominent role he plays in Winter.
Kindler:
For the record, I didn't know it was about body types; my point about introducing diversity into a story for diversity's sake alone usually being a bad idea related to many writers trying to do it (with good intentions) and winding up writing offensive stereotypes.

Fix's understanding possibly comes from a more recent interpretation of the WK's actions and his own dislike of the previous Knight. That knight seemed to be more directly answerable to Maeve and perhaps limited by her vision/wants/goals. Harry on the other hand is more directly tied to Mab and should have a purpose that reflects her greater understanding and plans (IMO).
Quantus:
Also Ive seen nothing to indicate that Fix OR Lily got much in the way of open access to Summer's information, any more than Harry has. He's still just a paper cup to the court, and he has officially outlived the Lady that he was hired by. I strongly suspect they were both being neglected by the wider court in step with Titania, so I doubt they've been schooled to heavily in the subtle shadings of the courts (Unless Eldest Gruff made the effort).
Beyond that, we dont know how long it has been since they've had a Knight that was actually Good at much besides Killing. And more than 100 years ago, there's not really much else you'd expect from somebody with the title of Knight. The ones we know of have mostly been of the murderous sort, but then for all we know Maeve has been in charge of the hiring for all that time.
