The Next Knight
g33k:
Not necessarily the next knight, but eventually...
How about Molly?
I suspect the power of a Sword could overcome the grip of a Mantle, and free her; and I suspect Jim plans to reunite her with her family. Maybe she could do that still with a mantle (either Queen to Come or Queen who Is), but I kind of think Jim might get her free of the Fae... eventually.

A thought struck me as I read this. What if Marcone is King Arthur? Not King Arthur reborn, but actually the same guy.
Harry has noticed a lot of his companions aging, sometimes he specifically notices that they are aging more/faster than him. Sometimes it's just the description is older. Murphy has gone from someone's "kid sister" to "favorite aunt." He has noticed that he now looks older than Thomas. I don't think Marcone's, like Mac's, description has really changed. John Marcone is just a name he's made up. It has been repeatedly mentioned by Jim, either directly or through characters, that Marcone would be viewed as a most virtuous feudal lord. Many Arthurian legends say Arthur will come back when most in need. Well the Dresdenverse is about to have an apocalypse.

Seems unlikely to me, because in the soulgaze with Beckitt, Harry saw young-punk-Marcone.
That said, "reborn" works just amazingly well... Marcone as Arthur, Harry as Merlin, and Excalibur waiting for the right time...

I'd agree with most of it except for Thomas, his youthful appearance comes from being a White Court Vamp, as long as he is reasonably well fed, he will keep looking good. So that gives him an advantage appearance/physically over Harry, in spite of Harry's advantages as a wizard, at some point Harry would begin to look older than Thomas who won't age at all.. And face it, Harry has been put through the mill a bit more than Thomas, his face reflects the battering that it has taken the last few years. Having said that, Harry has a big advantage over his "normal" vanilla human friends, unless something really bad happens that his normal wizard genes or Mab cannot fix, he will remain hardy and just be coming into his prime at eighty while most of his friends will be in the market of assisted living.

In my version, he takes up the sword and the holy power banishes the demon, freeing him and letting him and Justine live their dream life, have kids and go into old age.

I agree with this. He might not be a permanent Knight, he might just pick up the sword for one fight to protect his unborn child and emerge mortal.
