The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Ebenezar and Harry (peace talks spoilers)
Arjan:
He gets old. Sometimes dementia can cause anger and agression
noblehunter:
Whamps seem to be a particular pressure point for him. I don't think we've seen him deal with them extensively before. His behavior seems plausible if it looks like history is repeating itself with someone he cares about being led to their doom by the White Court.
Even the most controlled people can get unhinged if someone does a tap dance on their trauma.
Conspiracy Theorist:
We know Wizards are subject to the same ills as other mortals and that magic doesn’t help. What if Eb is starting to suffer from dementia.? As posited above. He retains all his power but is starting to act irrationally. It would certainlyexplain him possibly whammying Thomas and trying to kill Harry. What can you do?
Demonreach. This may explain the English Prisoner and why he deserves to be there and the compassion protocol, he is another major practitioner suffering from dementia. Harry may have the dilemma of putting his grandfather in Demonreach to stop him harming himself and others. A whole new level of guilt for Harry, he gets Thomas out to replace him permanently with Eb.
We have indications thar Martha Liberty may be starting to suffer from osteoporosis and River Shoulders indicates Listens is not be long for the world. The Senior Council are dying of old age and complaints related to old age.

--- End quote ---
There does seem to be a foreshadowing for the "changing of the guard" if you will. Suddenly older wizards of the Senior Council were old but very powerful, suddenly they seem fragile. Rivershoulders pointed out to Harry that Listens to Wind didn't have long for this world. I will cry
when he leaves, he is one of my favorites. If any of you saw the movie "Little Big Man," one of the stars was a Native American actor named Chief Dan George, he was elderly, strong, and came off as very wise. When I read about Listens to Wind, that is who I picture.
Second Aristh:
Eb and Maggie didn't have the best relationship either. Harry is making choices similar to her which is bound to be hitting hard on Eb's emotions. At the same time, Harry is throwing Eb's biggest mistakes back in his face. I don't think his anger is too uncharacteristic. It's covering up fear.
