How was Demonreach filled?

I hate to put this idea out there, because time travel complications can be so annoying, but here goes.
What if Shagnasty didn't have a problem going to Demonreach Isle because he had no clue any of his kind were imprisoned there; because, outside of the prison, they haven't been captured yet? That will happen at a future time. For all we know Harry will be the one that captures them; and to take this idea to its ultimate conclusion, Shagnasty could be one of the prisoners.
Whatever the case may be, I have no doubt that at some point we are going to see Harry capture and imprison a supernatural being. Actually, I think it will happen twice. The first time will show us the process and how difficult it is to pull off, the second time will probably occur in the BAT, and Harry will probably have to imprison multiple supernatural entities.

Maz's got it. Merlin's Circle is the trap; Demonreach is just the Big Twinkie that holds 'em all.

One of the things in the conversation between Harry, Bob & Demonreach in CD that stuck out to me was the talk about Harry becoming Warden.
Demonreach says that first there was one, now there are many; implying a link between the two. We know that Merlin built both the prison & created the White Council. Perhaps the original purpose of the initial generations of White Council was to help the Warden of Demonreach fill up the prison?

That's kinda where my head is; the original intent behind building the White Council wasn't just to control wizards and reduce the prevalence of black magic, it was to capture and imprison the worst of the things that are out there.

I would think that it might have been possible if you designed Demonreach to keep things that happened on it secret, and then did a lot of summoning and trapping. If no one could learn (because Demonreach shut it down) that creature X was summoned there into the big beautiful circle and then imprisoned, then it would still work to summon the next nasty. Once the secret got out it wouldn't work as well, but its possible some big guys were just too arrogant or not informed to take it seriously and still risked it.
Like Shagnasty. I really wish someone had just told Harry to say, "take him below" and let us see how that worked in Turn Coat.
