The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

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

(Of course, it's possible that Mister *is* his familiar, drawing power from the bond and simply not choosing to use it to communicate or assist Harry in any way. Harry might not even known it. That would be very much in keeping with the Dresden way.)

You just defined a “cat” and not a familiar.

The idea of wizards having familiars is widespread, and Harry's now got a cat, a foo dog, a spirit of intellect, and a sanctum-invocation with a genius loci, as well as whatever you'd call his relationship with Toot-toot. It's almost weird that he never got a familiar.

In the Dresdenverse, wizards apparently don't have familiars. But now I am thinking in Little Brother, hopefully he is back to the wild and does not die with LTW.

Conspiracy Theorist:
A bit of hope, whilst LTW might be nearly done on his journey, this is from River Shoulders who is a millennia old and going through his mid-life crisis (Irwin and his mother). Nearly done might mean a decade or more (unless he dies in combat). Of the Senior Council members, only really Eb is a combat specialist, Christos is politician and diplomat, Martha Liberty is the intelligence specialist (she’s been caught flat-footed by both the Fomor and Harry ) LTW is a healer, you would expect him to be setting up and defending a field hospital. I think maybe LTW will die between BG and the BAT, and we will get the funeral scene.

I think there will be at least one senior Council vacancy created through death or Demonreach, to promote Luccio to the Senior Council, clearing the way for Harry to be The Warden, but I think perhaps Martha Liberty and Eb having to give up the Blackstaff to Harry, who would give it back to its proper owner.

Yeah, I'm not sure how he got out of Hades.

On the other hand, the Forest People have magic of their own, and we don't know much about it. They could be able to open Ways.

Wouldn't that mess up the balance? I think if the Coins were permanently taken "out of circulation" the Swords might lose their power (their angels would leave?) or at least the Knights wouldn't get their special mission-from-God boosts anymore.

Given that Hades recognizes that it's time for the Spearhead/Athame, Grail, etc. to be "back in circulation" I don't think he would do that.

ClintACK:
I'm sure Lasciel could teach Hannah Ascher how to open up a portal in no time flat.

We've only seen Ursiel in bestial control mode, but it makes sense that he'd be able to do the same. All of the angels would know enough magic for that, and the genoskwa could do some magic -- at least enough to have a serious veil and some kind of counterspell.

It's the "nothing left but ketchup" part that troubles me. It doesn't make sense to think it was just an illusion that got splattered, because if the genoskwa was still active at that point, he could have easily killed Harry and gotten all five weapons for the win. So something hinky is going on, but we don't have enough information to narrow it down. (Do all Denarians regenerate even from goo if you don't take the coin? Does the genoskwa know Kemmler/Corpsetaker style ghost-eating self-resurrection magic? Is it a fake genoskwa walking around -- perhaps Shagnasty in disguise?)
