The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Sir Stuart of the Colonial Marines
Fcrate:
Looks like I misunderstood your original question, Con.
Anyway, one of my favorite "disposable" characters in the series :D
Mr. Death:
He apparently had a family in the colonies, going by the one memory of his we see. My guess? He was an English knight, got hitched and retired to the colonies, then when the revolution broke out, he felt more American than English.

Could have been sentenced to penal transportation to America. He'd likely have lost his title, though he'd have lost it if he formally defected, too, and titles weren't a thing in the fledgling US (one of the less-reported reasons they wanted to rebel in the first place). Colonial Marines weren't a thing until Washington needed to protect the Colonial flotilla, circa 1777ish (might've been in 1776, can't remember precisely). There's not a whole lot of information about British defectors to America during the Revolution; it was largely the other way around (though it's not exactly defecting if you never join a revolution). I'd imagine there is a specific reason for it, and it very well may have been a result of Washington being a Knight of the Cross.
I doubt we'll ever hear the whole story, unless Harry gets the chance to hang out with Papa Murphy again.
Mr. Death:
Even if he "officially" lost the title, there's nothing stopping him from self-identifying and introducing himself as "Sir Stuart" anyway.
I'm pretty sure Morgan reflexively thought of himself as a "Warden" even when he was the WC's Public Enemy Number One.

That was kind of my point; I hedged it at the end there, but wasn't really clear. I have a habit of rambling, if you haven't noticed.
