The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Who is the guy with an English accent in the cell at Demonreach?

Maybe Jim doesn't necessarily think every little thing through all the way, and sometimes makes mistakes.

Blasphemy!
Besides even if it was a mistake he will make it fit into the story.

He might be somebody from real life/folklore from England who we haven't yet heard discussed in the Dresdenverse, somebody associated with weird cosmic horrors...
What about Dr. John Dee? In real life he was a scientist/philosopher and advisor to Elizabeth I who promoted the development of a British empire, but Lovecraft associated him with the Necronomicon -- which might suggest a reason for him to be in Demonreach. It's also interesting that (according to Wikipedia, anyway) both the record of his date of death and his gravestone are missing! Hmmm....
Kindler:
I like the theory that it's Chandler/Steed. WOJ is that his specialty is time-screwery. If there is ANY time travel in the series, my bet is that Chandler will have something to do with it. I've toyed around with the idea that Steed and Harry go back in time, and for one reason or another, Steed can only send Harry back to the present, while Chandler must wait it out. That's why he only talks about "stasis" rather than imprisonment; he's waiting until he catches up with the present so he can step into current Steed's place. Living outside of stasis would present far too great a threat to the current timeline, as it's possible for Steed to change things in such a way that he never goes back in time in the first place, which would create a nasty paradox.
Either that or it's Arthur, in my opinion.

Wonder of Rashid put him in there....
