An independent party pursuing his own agenda.
morriswalters:
Then why could the Gruff's attack Harry?
The whole purpose of the Knight's, in Jim's mythology, is to do what the Queen's can't, which is kill humans unconnected to the Court. Mab can't order the Gruff's to kill Harry outright.

Titania. And it was because Mab had chosen Harry as Emissary, from what I understand. She just hadn't told him yet:
--- Quote ---For example: Mab had said that Summer’s hit men were after me because Mab had chosen me to be her Emissary. But for that to be true, she had to have done it hours ago, at least a little while before the first crew of gruffs had attacked me at the Carpenter place.

Yes. But if Nic isn't acting for Titania then it doesn't matter, Harry can kill Nic at will and Titania can't do a thing to interfere.

Um...yeah?
ETA: OK, I see what you're getting at now. Titania could move because Mab did in choosing Harry as Emissary. Summer has to move to counter that. That Nic is involved is incidental to Titania.
