Our

I don't recall Uriel using our. I'd imagine he was talking about a class of beings he is a part of.

Quite possibly - certainly the way the Queens and Ladies talk about themselves as opposed to how the Mothers are is very very different. The Mothers are definitely closer to the original being/beings.
I am referring to the part where he discusses healing Michael in Skin Game. (click to show/hide)“What have you done?” he asked. “It was not within our power to heal what was done to you,” Uriel said. “I’m sorry. It was not chance that brought you to harm, but choice.”
It intrigues me, Harry was a bit distracted but were he paying more attention perhaps he would have asked what Uriel meant by "Our".
Salusen - check out the excellent GUMCT post Serack made - should give you a good base on the Mothers.
Salusen:
Yeah, I had been wondering out Uriel saying "our" like that. I'd always thought that he was referring to himself and the angels collectively. but it could possibly mean that Uriel on Earth is just a part of the angel's complex being. Hmmm.
It could be that Uriel exists across multiple realities and universes.
Thanks for the tip about Serack's Post!

I wouldn't even be surprised if Mother Winter is the mantle Hecate chose to keep for herself when dividing her power, and she's still the same being.

Which explains why Winter is the more powerful of the Fae courts. And why they have the task of protecting the Outer Gates. And why Mab and Hades are apparently on good terms.
morriswalters:
The books give you at least one perspective on the Mothers. In Cold Days, Mother Summer, when told of Harry finding out one of the Adversary's names, says
--- Quote from: page 320 of Cold Days ---So many new futures unwinding.
--- End quote ---
Implying that she and Mother Winter can see reality splitting due to Harry's new knowledge. It's an interesting exchange.
