Bad Alias:
@Morris: I would note that Margaret was headed to Hell, but didn't make it there. Something happened to take her off that path. Eb says the thing that changed her was meeting Malcolm.

--- Quote --- Your giving Eb access to information that Eb shouldn't have had. While my read of the text indicates that Eb was aware of Malcolm and therefore Harry prior to Malcolm's death, there isn't anything to indicate that he ever spoke to Maggie before she died. If that is true he wouldn't have any idea of why she ran.

Eb was more than aware of Malcolm, I believe he soul gazed him.

From that soul gaze Eb would have learned a lot. Another thought came to me, what if Lord Raith killed Malcolm as well? Just because he had taken Margaret away from him.

Here is the full text.
--- Quote ---He was silent for a minute. Then two. And a while later he said, "The Council knew that you were the son of Margaret LeFay. They knew that she was one of the wizards who had turned the Council's own laws against it. She was guilty of violating the First Law, among others, and she had… unsavory associations with various entities of dubious reputation. The Wardens were under orders to arrest her on sight. She'd have been tried and executed in moments when she was brought before the Council."
"I was told she died in childbirth," I said.
"She did," Ebenezar confirmed. "I don't know why, but for some reason she turned away from her previous associates—including Justin DuMorne. After that, nowhere was safe for her. She ran from her former allies and from the Wardens for perhaps two years. And she ran from me. I had my orders regarding her as well."
I stared at him in pained fascination. "What happened?"
"She met your father. A man. A mortal, without powers, without influence, without resources. But a man with a good soul, like few I have ever seen. I believe that she fell in love with him. But on the night you were born, one of her former allies found her and exacted his vengeance for her desertion."

Bad Alias:
Chauncy provides us with this:
1. Margaret was going to Hell.
2. ?
3. Margaret didn't go to Hell.
Eb provides us with this:
1. Margaret was a bad guy, hanging out with bad guys, doing bad guy things.
2. ?
3. Margaret stopped hanging out with bad guys and doing bad guy things with them.
4. She met Malcolm, and (Eb assumes) fell in love with him.
I think these things are tightly related.
g33k:
I explicitly presume that Chauncy is a liar.
Unless there's a magical bargain in place, so his info MUST be good (in order for him to get the thing he wants in return), Chauncy will mix truth and lies -- MOSTLY lies -- such that nothing he says can be treated as "factual."
It's just part of what Chauncy is.
