We're limited in what we know about the Gatekeeper. But JB has teased that he might have thrown down with Demonreach and by inference the last warden. Drag, thump.

Very true but my point is that he doesn't likely outrank Odin in power, (who himself is several millennia old.
Sibelis, it has always seemed the Gatekeeper is more dangerous not because he has tons of magical might, but because he (like a true JB wizard) has knowledge and ability to affect enemies most vulnerable elements. Which is not to say he isn't a bad ass wizard, but if Harry or Eb is like a hammer, Rashid is like a scalpel.

Sorry Morris, believe that one has been debunked by the man JB himself. He said what caused the limp was the last friggin ice age, which one could interpret as the island being physically limited (like being cut off from the ocean perhaps). Check out Serack's WOJ page under demonreach - pretty sure it has the direct quote.

The spirit's limp is from the glaciers hitting the island in the last ice age. It has some sort of strained history with Rashid, but Harry was wrong about connecting it to the limp.

JB has said, I believe, that the Kings of Winter and Summer are not organized the way the females are. There is no Prince, King, Father dynamic in the fae courts. The Kings just rule their areas, loosely affiliated with their respective Queens.
Griffyn612:
With all the pantheons fading away, and those remaining relevant having anchors in modern society, I'd say the most powerful male figure left (outside of religion) is Father Time.
If he exists, that is.
*And* there's an opposing duality with him (old man and new born) just like the rest. Not to mention the paternal title balancing with the Mothers' maternal one.
The most likely time we'd see him (if he existed) would be in the time travel book.
For staying anchored, he's got a major holiday that the entire world celebrates. If he's Janus, then he's also got a month named after him.
For identity, I'd personally prefer him to be the current identity for Janus. But Cronus/Saturn seems like a better bet. Maybe the mantle was passed to Janus from Cronus (although there's some stuff saying the association with Cronus and time might be misplaced).
