Bad Alias:
They're wizards. They should know all about it. For example, we know they're were plenty of survivors at Chichen Itza because Nicodemus said so.

Because Nicodemus said so? ;D

I think it's pretty possible Eb will 'see the light' in BG - quite possibly while dying. Harry's apparent "death" in PT might have been enough of a shock to make him reconsider, anyway.

In general, yeah.
But there might be two issues in this case.
- If the Blackstaff is Mother Winter's walking stick (as seems likely) the Council killing the Winter Knight to recover it might be politically risky. Winter probably has a better right to it than the Council.
- Harry is Warden of Demonreach. It would be one thing to assassinate him, quite another to publicly announce that he was expelled from the Council and *then* come after him, since he could take refuge on Demonreach. Their best bet would be to take someone Harry cares about hostage... but after the Red Court, that might not feel very safe.

I think you see why I phrased it that way, but I do think we can be fairly certain that one was true. It might not actually be how he learned what happened at Chichen Itza. It could very well have been a plausible way he would have learned it. He needs to have obvious ways for people to think he learned things if he wants to keep the truth of Anduriel's ability secret. Nic didn't (and maybe still doesnt') know Harry knows.

It just sounds funny to bring Nicodemus words as proof for anything ;)
We know there were survivors. The grey council freed some of the prisoners and any half vampire young enough to survive turned human. Some of them might have fled before the freed prisoners started to kill them.
