The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Is there any character who didn't show up in PT that you'd like to see in BG?

(1/6) > >>

KurtinStGeorge:
I think the title pretty much says it all.  I can't see Mavra, Elaine or Drakul showing up, though I suppose anything is possible.  If Cowl is on the scene I hope he doesn't remain hidden during the entire story.  I recall Jim stating that Cowl had been hidden in background of other stories and I don't want to hear after the fact that it happened again.

I suppose that I'm not so much hoping that any of the characters that I named above show up, as much as I'm hoping there will be a place in Battle Ground for the Archive to do something interesting.  It was something of a letdown for Harry to see Ivy in Peace Talks and not have her be a part of the story.  If Ivy does start to play an important role I will start wondering if Kinkade will make an appearance, but first things first.

Conspiracy Theorist:
WOJ has it that Drakul and where he is will feature in BG.

I am really waiting for Jim to tease a Jade Court scene, but it is only a swanky Chinese Restaurant that Harry takes the Wardens to having never been able to afford it previously. It would just annoy so many fans, especially those who keep asking Jim about them, which is a standard question at almost every con appearance and Q&A.

Oh, and the Ukrainian Shapeshifter Guru who was there all the time, shapeshifted into something innocuous, like Lara’s sofa.

“I looked around the Great Hall of my new home, “it just needs a basketball hoop there”, pointing at a piece of wall.

 Marcone's goons were removing the various delegations furniture, and as two of them picked up the White Court’s sofa, it shimmered and resolved into a pinch faced elderly man in a stained robe. The goons dropped him in surprise and he swore at them in an unknown language, not quite Russian. The man shook his fist at the goons and ran out.

I shrugged, someone spending several days pretending to be Lara Raith’s sofa for their sexual jollies was not even in the top ten of the weirdest things which had happened in the last couple of days.

I finished watching the goons remove the last of the furniture, and locked the door behind them “ good riddance” I said, before I went down to the basement, and the trapdoor to my lab. I curled up on the trapdoor and caressed the ring,  “My precioussss” I said before falling asleep for the for first nights sleep without nightmares since my apartment had burnt down.

ClintACK:
Mavra and the Genoskwa were both mentioned in Peace Talks, with the suggestion that they are around and might show up.

The Genoskwa actually feels like a cheat -- I wonder if instead we'll discover that the real Genoskwa/Ursiel did get squashed in Skin Game, there's a shapeshifter around pretending to be the Genoskwa.

Which brings us to my answer to "Character I'd like to see" -- Shagnasty, the Naagloshi.

I've been wanting to see a rematch with Shagnasty ever since Harry learned what Demonreach is -- and the end of Peace Talks showed us both Harry's increased power on the Island and his ability to put someone into a cell. A repeat battle on Demonreach itself would be over so fast Shagnasty's head would still be spinning an eon from now in its tiny little cell. And it would be so satisfying -- doubly so if Shagnasty's the one who hurt Thomas, again, and put him in his current predicament.

Regenbogen:
The Merlin, Elaine, Cowl, Mortimer Lindquist, Agent Tilly, Fitz (from Ghost Story)

LOL

Conspiracy Theorist:
WOJ is that Fitz unlikely to appear again, but I would like to think that Fitz finished his education, got his GED and apprenticed to Nick Angel, helping to find kids, meaning that he is now ready to work for Dresden Investigations and the Paranet as an investigator, specialist in ghosts, getting further training and honing his gifts with Mort and Harry.

The BFS building is a big building, Harry needs staff, the Wardens are stretched too thin, so paranetters in support capacities would make sense.

You may get your wish on Cowl, we are near the time under WOJ that Cowl will be unmasked, although the split and additional books may have skewed that.

Elaine? No, I think if Harry pushes reform of the White Council and the Black Council becomes widely known, you may have hidden Wizard Level talents like Elaine and Mort step forward (Carlos once again betrayed by a woman), to avoid being associated with the Black Council.

I think it likely one or more of Harry’s Rogues gallery will turn up in BG, working for the Fomor.

As regards the whole trapdoor thing, Harry has been so homesick that of course he would spend the first night possible at home, and he deserves a nights sleep without nightmares, it has been indicated in both PT and in the Mister Microfiction that he suffers nightmares on a nightly basis.

You will almost certainly get the Merlin  I would think
