Odin?
Reading Kurtin's section about who knows what about Nemesis and Gatekeeper, I had a thought that Ebeneezer is likely to be one of the most well informed members of the Senior Council on the bigger picture of the magical world. He has the Merlin's journals. I've never really thought about the implications of that, but while Kurtin's right that Eb might be in the dark about more recent events, I don't think Nemesis, Old Ones, the Outergates, Demonreach, Outsiders, etc. are recent events.
The Gatekeeper says the rest of the Council doesn't know as much as they think they do about his and Harry's roles. But as Kurtin points out, Jim has said that they don't share information. Some of the Senior Council probably knows more about their jobs than the Gatekeeper presumes.

That is when Morgan missed his chance to take care of him because he was on a mission, Harry went to the foster system and only THEN Justin appeared.
...
@BadAlias: it's ok :)

Justin was a warden at some point. We don't know precisely when he retired, but I'm sure he had connections with the Wardens after he retired. Dina's comment made me consider the possibility that Justin made his move when he knew Morgan wouldn't be around to do anything about it. That's assuming that Justin was directly involved in Malcolm's death and Harry's vanishing.
Thanks, Dina. :)
Morgan escaped from custody and got to his silver oak leaf. I doubt that he was allowed to keep it on his person while in custody. Morgan could have grabbed a few things when he got to his quarters or home or lair or whatever. Then he traveled the Ways to the Southwest and took a train to Chicago. He could have grabbed his journal and wrote on the train. There is a post office right near Union Station and I found an image of a post office "letter box" in Union Station. I don't know if the letter box is currently serviced or if it's kept for historical purposes. Point is, he could easily have dropped it in the mail at some point.

Um, during all of this, you are leaving out that Morgan was wounded pretty badly. So grabbing his journal and writing in it during a train ride seem a bit far fetched.

Somehow I doubt it.

I like your idea about Justin (or whoever kill Malcolm) to do it knowing that Morgan was not available. Perhaps they were from the White Council or have agents inside.And thanks for the data about mailboxes, I probably need to rewrite some of TC to see what Morgan says.
And you are welcome :)

What happened to Harry implies that the Council wasn't part of the surveillance. Had it been, Harry would have remained covered even when Morgan wasn't there. So what Morgan was doing appears to be off the books in so far as the Wardens were concerned. Justin takes Harry when he manifests, so he was apparently watching as well. It seems to be pretty straightforward that Morgan and Justin were playing the same game. When will Harry manifest? And can I grab him first? Otherwise why would he run back to check after his mission?

Yet it appears that he did something of that sort. He wrote it somewhere, bleeding or not.

I know, that is what rings so false to me in the whole micro story. I can buy that Morgan kept a journal, but I don't buy the timeline of the entry or it's writing. I find it a little hard to believe that Morgan, the warden's warden, would be close enough to Margaret to promise to watch her kid. To begin with, did she know ahead of time that she was going to be killed? Possible.. The only way I can rationalize her asking Morgan and him agreeing was he knew her role as a spy to get information on the Enemy. Was he the only one on the Council that knew about Harry's birth? Goes back to debates we've had before about Eb, he tried to get revenge for Margaret's death, but never followed up on the where his grandson went or what happened to him after his father died. You'd think if any of this was common knowledge, especially about Nemesis that he'd compared notes with Eb, who had after all done a soul gaze with Harry about his fears that he might be infected.
