Who are the members of the Grey Council?

<< < (9/10) > >>

Gman:
We know Odin, Harry and Eb are members. The Gatekeeper and Martha Liberty are very likely members. Carlos, Steed and Lea may be members. I doubt The Merlin is a member.

wardenferry419:
I think the Merlin and his strict adherence to White Council methods is part of the problem and that he is not part of the Grey Council solution.

Lea is not a member because when Harry was counting them, he didn't include her in the numbers.  12 people showed up, plus Harry that makes the full 13.

My picks are:
Martha Liberty
The Erlking or Eldest Gruff
Maybe Wild Bill Meyers but he seems a bit young
Mavra.  She thwarts Cowl’s efforts to get the Word of Kemmler and had had it for years, yet never attempted the Darkhallow.  She teaches Bianca sorcery, yes, but she also probably helped coax Bianca into starting the War that ultimately wiped out the Reds. Plus, she may have been behind the poisoning of Susan, thus bringing about the birth of Maggie and the plan to use the Blood Curse.  Plus she was conspicuously absent from her own lair when Harry raided it, perhaps because she got a tip from her old friend McCoy? She’s playing the long game to eliminate her rivals.

Alaran:
In Turn Coat Ebenezar sais that they are "Some wizards. Some key allies." Now Vadderung definitively fits the key ally box. But he uses plural, so there is at least one more. We also know from Changes that they all have wizard staves. There is only one that we have seen that can be considered a key ally and that has a staff, and that is Eldest Gruff.

On the wizard side we have a clue to the identity of one of the wizards in the grey council. During the battle in changes, Harry hear someone yell "Fuego". Most of the older wizards don't verbal out their spells. We can then assume that this is one of the less experienced of the members of the grey council. Have we seen anyone that fits so far?

Otherwise Martha Liberty is one that seems to be a obvious choice. Chandler is a good possibility, but could be wrong as he is most often seen without a wizard staff.
Klaus the Toymaker was established as an ally of Ebenezar in Summer Knight and seems JB has thought of a lot of backstory for him. I peg him as a member too.

So 3 of 6 so far. Listen-to-Wind was out of commision. Luccio is possible, but we've never seen any indication that Ebenezer trusts her like that. Ancient Mai and Langtry are unlikely, they both seem to believe too much in the institution of the white council.

Rashid I think is more likely, since Ebenezar changed his mind about him after talking to Harry in Turn Coat.
I also like Montjoy for the Grey Council.

Now, i have no idea about the last one. Wild Bill and Carlos seem too inexperienced to be trusted fully. Also don't think Carlos uses a staff. I would peg Chandler over Luccio if I had to pick one of the previous of the unlikely choices.
