Who is on the Grey Council?

(1/6) > >>

g33k:
Like it says on the tin...

Eb, for sure.  Founder after all!
Harry, as a "junior" member.

Vadderung, almost certainly.
Rashid, I think.
Listens to Wind, I think.
Ancient Mai, I think.
Mab (if they can bring themselves to trust her enough; or identify sufficient risk-mitigation).
...
After that, I'm really unsure.

nadia.skylark:
I doubt Rashid is on it; he's probably too busy. And I doubt Mab is on it, both because I doubt they would trust her under normal circumstances and because I doubt that Harry was the only person Maeve tried to convince that Mab was crazy.

I could see Eldest Gruff being part of the Grey Council, though. And if the Merlin's not on it himself (which I don't believe he is) there's probably someone on it that reports to him, given the strike force in Changes and the Merlin's claim that he was going to see the Red Court wiped out.

peregrine:
I can't imagine that all of Eb, Rashid, LtW, and Mai are on the Grey Council, because that would give them a majority on the Senior Council.

Beldon:
If LTW is on the grey council there are more than 12 members. Eb told Harry he was out of commission at that time. Rashid is a maybe, Harry doesn't remark on any others being overly tall, and Rashid is taller than Harry.
I have a crazy thought though after going through changes recently, I think Arthur Langtree is a member. Officially he denies things, but he is too smart to not realize things are up so politically he needs to hold that line. Personally though he wants to hit back.

narphoenix:
We know that, when Changes rolled around, we had seen a total of six members of the Grey Council other than Eb, Harry, and Vadderung, at least according to Jim.

We know that Eb recruited GC members, so we have to think about it from his point of view. Otherwise excellent candidates for GC membership get ruled out because Eb isn’t inclined to recruit, say, vampires, or else I would have placed a bet on Lara Raith.

Listens to Wind, an otherwise excellent candidate, gets mostly ruled out because, as was pointed out earlier, he was out of commission in changes. I say “mostly” on the basis of it being totally possible we were lied to.

Rashid is a possibility, but I’m going to cast doubt on it: he’s too subtle to do something so overt as join a counterconspiracy. For similar reasons, I’m going to rule out Arthur Langtry.

I was previously placing bets on Lily, but Cold Days made that difficult to back up.

Obviously, we can rule out the Fellowship who joined Harry directly, unless they can be in two places at once.

If you held a gun to my head to place money on the table, closest I can do is Strength of a River in his Shoulders. He’s the only person I can think of who isn’t associated with people Eb wouldn’t touch with sufficient power to be on the Grey Council.
