The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Could Marcone have recruited another wizard?
morriswalters:
JB has never said magic was invisible, simply that people didn't want to see it. Valmont educated herself after running into the Denarians.
--- Quote from: Skin Game ---"Since monsters killed my two best friends." She shrugged a shoulder. "I made it my business to learn. I was sort of startled (by) how easy it was. No one really seems to spend all that much effort truly hiding from humanity." "There's no need to," I said. "Most people don't want to know, (and) wouldn't believe it if you showed them."

Exactly... People will convince themselves that it was an illusion, or delusion, or a nightmare ect.

I don't think either was ever explained. If I remember correctly Marcone took Harry for a ride so
to speak, and knew of him by his reputation, but that wasn't explained.. Harry did know Marcone by
his though and his attempt at a withering soul gaze backfired. How Marcone met Vadderung was
never explained either, except he was maybe a signer of the Accords by that time.

Marcone only became an accord member after white night. It was probably Marcones competition and conflict with the red court that drew Vadderungs attention and the red court certainly made it necessary for Marcone to seek supernatural assistence and Vadderung does provide that for money which is better than a fairy deal.
Mr. Death:
Monoc is probably a multinational corporation. It's probably got a fairly prominent public face, so someone like Marcone who apparently knows how to read the lines probably didn't have much trouble finding out about them. They probably don't do much to outright hide that they're supernatural, even if they would hide the exact nature of their boss.
