Is Peabody's partner at the Peace Talks? (My guess)
vultur:
Yeah, the Chandler theory seems very convincing.
My one problem with it is that there's a WoJ that he's watched pretty closely due to the kind of magic he uses, and that's why he's in the position he's in. So it might be hard for him to be a "Black Council"/Circle agent.
But if he mostly passed information and didn't do any overt black magic, until PT (summoning the Cornerhounds?) because he knew through the Circle that Things Were Getting Real (Ethniu and all)... That might work.
BrainFireBob:
His gift is chronomancy.
Now, how can one use chronomancy acceptably given the laws?
I suppose passive observation would be allowed, be very useful for a Warden to be able to perceive the near-immediate future and the past as it happened.
Does that change any of the scenes with Chandler?

Not so much the specific conversations, but it suggests that Chandler might have detected that someone ran into the giant spiders in the nevernever and survived them and, or Chandler could have seen that Harry would soon arrive at Edinburgh. He might have been able to pass this information on to Peabody. Ebenezer and Harry were able to communicate with speaking stones (I think that's what they were called) in Changes. There are probably other covert communication methods used by wizards. Plus, we don't know how long Chandler had been on guard duty when Harry arrived. If Chandler was inside the Edinburgh complex when he saw past and, or future events with Harry playing out, he could have spoken directly to Peabody before going out to take up position to be able to meet Harry.
Actually, after rereading the conversation between Harry and Chandler in Turn Coat, Chandler knew where all the Senior Council members were inside the complex. Now it could be that Chandler knew what each member's focus was on; be it direct investigation of La Fortier's murder or waiting with a strike team for news about Morgan and so on, but it suggests; though it does not prove, that Warden Chandler had been inside the complex quite recently and that explains his knowledge of where the various Senior Council members could be found. It's a minor point, but it would mean that Chandler was easily able to communicate with Peabody before going out to meet Harry.

Good point.
I was thinking, with his chromomancy he would also know when to be back in time at his post when someone comes by, when he leaves for errands like for example being with Peabody on Demonreach.
So it would appear that he never left his post.
Maybe the spiders were just a delaying tactic, so that he would have more time to hurry back, when someone comes from the nevernever side.

His future sight is pretty unreliable thanks to free will IIRC.
