Almost certainly she didn't end up on the Wardens to do list overnight. And nowhere does it imply that he liked her. And the only Senior Council member that we have certain knowledge that they were aware of Harry's connection to Eb is Rashid. Unless I'm missing something.

You don't promise to keep someone's child safe if you don't like them. Rashid says there were several of Eb's friends who knew Eb's connection to Margaret. However it seems like Rashid had a special bond with Margaret, and given the time he has pulled Harry's chestnuts out of the fire, he also has a good idea about why she conceived Harry.
--- Quote ---The story strengthens the possibility that Elaine is Nemfected (or is a Nemfector). Morgan's letter associates DuMorne with Nemesis, which associates Elaine with the Adversary as well. So was it that Elaine was enthralled or was she successfully Nemfected? Furthermore, was it Elaine that Nemfected Aurora?

That is the theory, it seems a very odd confidence that Elaine chooses to flee to the Summer Court and then Aurora turns up infested.

You do if they cut a deal. Something for Something. We even have a program that is well known for doing precisely that. The Witness Protection Program.
@g33k
The oldest trick in the plot book is to mail a document to someone you want to have it. Of course in the modern era finding a mailbox could be a pain in the a**.
And just for laughs and giggles are you aware of a comic book character called...wait for it....Destroyer? He drank some of the same super stuff that Captain America did.
Dina:
I have several mailbox locations memorized, just in case :)

Yes, you are right. I forgot it says he would seek Harry's help. As in the future.
Another thing about the location. Wouldn't it be fun if Morgan had a magical way to write in his journal from a distance, perhaps even mentally? And that would appear written in a physical book stored in another place? It would be like uploading something to the Cloud for instant synchronization.

--- Quote from: g33k on February 06, 2020, 05:00:47 PM ---I'm betting that Morgan hid it (maybe in the storage-locker where Harry had set up his safehouse?), rather than "passing it off."
It's also possible that he hid it in whatever location he wrote it (before he showed up at Harry's basement).
I'm torn between thinking it's hidden somewhere that Harry will inevitably find it, and hidden such that Harry never will (we know Jim writes some Dresdenverse stuff that's never going to enter Harry's consciousness).

All credible possibilities. I think "Where did the note actually end up" just shot past fishing for more black court background on my list of questions to try next time there's an AMA.

We have had no indications that they knew each other, though I think they may be of approximately the same age. If that is the case than we can assume he also knew Justin well as well. I think Jim has a thing (which may be accurate) about people of an age grouping together. Ebenezer has known the Merlin since he was 16, and it sounds like Eb, the Merlin, and Listens to Winds probably ran all over for and against each other in the war of 1812. There seems to be a coterie of people Maggie’s age, and we know the new wardens all hang as a group. Only Harry is pretty much out on his own, which is well explained.
3. He couldn’t find Dresden? Had he not taken any samples before he disappeared to be able to find him? If he hadn’t it seems like he was remarkably stupid in his attempts to protect Harry. If so, and they didn’t work, it indicates there are even more things Harry doesn’t know, since he seems to feel blood is a unpreventable connection method.

I think Maggie is a couple generations older than Morgan. She was probably born late 1700's to very early 1800's; the 1811/12 New Madrid earthquakes were connected to the death of Maggie's mother - most likely Eb's retaliation for the hit. She was just biologically a lot younger than the time since her birth due to spending so much time in the NN.
Morgan born in the late 1800's. WOJ was that Kemmler was holding him as a youth because he was a body with magical potential to jump into next time he needed a backup, and he became Luccio's apprentice when she rescued him sometime following 'Fistful of warlocks'.
As for tracking Harry, Morgan probably wouldn't have been able to get fresh blood regularly enough for optimal tracking spells - it's not clear Malcolm knew Morgan was trying to be a protector and would have cooperated with that. I'm not convinced Morgan read it right in assessing Justin was responsible for hiding Harry in the foster system and only picked him up when he manifested talent, either. Lea is at least equally capable of achieving a vanishing act if she decided that was the best way to harden him up into a survivor.
