The six queens of fairy are all pieces of Hecate, with the bulk of the goddess's power vested in the Mothers. Hecate intact would be vastly greater than Mab alone.

Also, I think Hecate was a goddess, not a titan, though I'm not sure how formal the distinction is.

All titans were deities.  Titan is just a deity in the generation before the Olympians in Greek mythology.

Also, I wouldn't be confident that Hecate would be vastly greater than Mab alone.  There were more deities added to the pot before the six-way split.  The Fates were in there, and I think there's a strong argument for Demeter as well.

Conspiracy Theorist:
The MANTLES are parts of Hecate, only one of the mothers is the original I think all the rest have moved around, certainly the current Ladies, thanks to Dresden.

--- Quote from: Grifter on July 18, 2020, 06:47:45 PM ---Hecate being a Titan makes the point that while her power is still around, she isn't, or at least not as she was.  It seems that the only Titan left as she was is Ethniu.

Or we're arguing in the wrong direction, and she was just the last Titan born.  Seems unlikely, but hey, it's possible.

A new thought, what if Ethniu is the Last (Free) Titan?  The rest could have been eaten up into other mantles or locked up with Alfred.

I still like the idea that the whole "assault on Demonreach" near the end of Cold Days was (mostly) a cover-action for the underwater / stealth jailbreak by the Fomor of "the last Titan" who is their "Empress."

Some sort of major obscurement has kept Alfred from perceiving the single jailbroken cell under the lake.
