Morgan's Journal Revisited

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 30, 2020, 10:26:07 PM ---Because Morgan is going to appear in the next book (not half a book), and he needs to justify what is going to be some of his interaction with Harry, especially if alt Morgan follows him home.
Alt Morgan coming to our Harry’s timeline makes sense, Journal indicates that he knows Harry has the potential to be a destroyer, and if Alt Harry is a destroyer he knows his time-line is doomed. Alt-Luccio is likely dead, the White Council damaged beyond repair in the Red Court War, and Alt Morgan can make good on his promise to alt-Margaret.

I like this.
It would be especially nice for Harry to hear stories about Margaret from someone -- anyone -- who knew her. It's crazy that the most we've heard about her is that short bit from Luccio about how the wardens saw her.
Especially poignant to get to reconnect with his dead mother now, when he's starting to be a parent himself.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think Harry will get the chance to resurrect one person by bringing them over to this timeline, and Harry may decide Morgan is the one he resurrects in this fashion because he may be the one the timeline needs most, over perhaps Susan and/or Murphy, his one true enemy over either of his true loves. The Black Council also wanted Morgan gone.
And yes, he appears to have known Margaret well, she did manage to stay one step ahead of the Wardens, and Morgan was probably the reason why, and both Harry and Thomas would like to know more.

I don't think he did know all along. I think Harry's actions as a Warden changed his mind.
But even then, I think maybe he wasn't 100% sure until right at the end, when it became clear that Peabody was a traitor and that Harry was one of the few Wardens not influenced.
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 30, 2020, 10:26:07 PM ---I wonder if the White Council would consider Morgan apparently coming back to life as a breach of the Fifth Law? It may depend on whether he comes willingly or not.
--- End quote ---
Well, they don't seem to have been bothered by Harry coming back to life.
The 5th Law is specifically about necromancy.

We don't have the entire conversation between Margaret and Warden Morgan. Perhaps there are qualifiers to that promise that make it more inline with the Warden Morgan we knew from the novels. I doubt Morgan promised to protect an adult Harry from the consequences of his own decisions. I suspect the promise was to protect the child Harry from someone like Justin getting a hold of Harry and using him from their own purposes.

Remember that Morgan was still officially viewed as a traitor by the White Council at the time of his death. So how is the conversation between Harry and the Senior Council going to go; I mean how is Harry going to explain it, after they see Morgan seemingly return from the dead? I think it's going to read like a Monty Python sketch or the Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" sketch.

Which is why it is worth doing, besides, I think the whole pretence ‘There is no Black Council’ is about to end and the true traitors are about to be exposed.
