could be that Harry gets younger and stays younger than most wizards

We'll have to agree to disagree, but I think the Winter Knight's high octane lifestyle has a downside beyond the obvious risks; both physical and moral, the bearer of the Winter Knight's mantel has to deal with.
Yes, when you are younger you heel faster, but what happens when you are forced to heal over and over again? I think Winter Knight Harry is burning the candle at both ends.

Has there been any reference to any other knight who was also a wizard? Besides Ronald Ruel (sp?), fix and Lloyd Slate, the other one referenced that I remember is Andrei Chicotilo (sp?) who was a mortal Russian serial killer/cannibal. I vaguely seem to remember Giles De Raies being mentioned also.
Harry may unique among knights.

The Dresden files RPG indicates that Rasputin was a biomancer (so not a full wizard, but like Morty as a specialist) who became winter knight.
Also, I thought Mab at least implied that Tam Lin was a winter knight, and he might have been a wizard.
Bad Alias:
I took the RPG to imply that Rasputin was an agent of Winter, but not the Winter Knight. That other guy from the RPG was implied to be the Knight. Several historic serial killers were listed as former Winter Knights.

This is true. In the Paranet Papers, the Winter Knight of the time is identified as Nicolai Dmitrich Bolshov, a Cheka (communist Russia secret police) officer.
