The Gatekeeper in Summer Knight
morriswalters:
When Harry meets the Gatekeeper at the Mothers cottage in summer Knight we first learn some important things.
The Gatekeeper knows where the Mothers reside.
The Gatekeeper has a piece of the Stone Table.
The Gatekeeper can open a way from close to the Mothers to Harry’s front drive.
The Gatekeeper is able to track Harry in some fashion.
--- Quote from: Summer Knight. ---"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you," he said.
"You've been watching?"
He shook his head. "Call it listening. But I have had glimpses of you. And matters are worsening in Chicago."

Does anyone but me find the two bolded statements interesting.

Ever notice the colors of the robes the Gatekeeper wears? They are blue and black, winter's colors..
Avernite:
It almost sounds like the Mothers cheated and have their own (male) human minion to do their important work.
Presumably one of the previous Gatekeepers is why the Blackstaff is with the Council.
Bad Alias:
@morris, may I call you morris, yes, but I also find the Gatekeeper's ability to open a way basically to anywhere he wants interesting, too. He was able to open a way to a dock off a scary island he was unwilling/able to set foot on that had recently been built.
@Mira: Aren't the Gatekeeper's robe and stole (or cowl or whatever) the standard Senior Council attire?

That's my name, so feel free.
Consider the Gatekeepers name a little more literally. In Cold Days Mab will close off Winter. Right now I'm playing with the idea that the Gatekeeper was the man who made that happen, and that the Outer Gates control it.
I am thinking that the Outer Gates are a Swiss Army Knife kind of a thing. Letting the Gatekeeper look for and find whatever, kind of a super LC. The Gatekeeper is the guy who can go anywhere, see anything, and be in the right place at the right time.
In Turn Coat he puts the magic scan on Harry and sees the connection to Demonreach. He knows Harry's location well enough to open a portal near him, multiple times. He sees Black Magic in Chicago. Just kinda noodling the idea at the moment. Odin and him share a lot in common.
