The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
I am 99% sure that Cowl is Dresden from the future
The_Sibelis:
I've never really found cowl to be actively trying to kill harry though, I think his fine control is better than Harry, and so when he put just enough power in his strike to make harry flip tail over tea kettle it was intentional. And again when he perfectly shorted out LC without blowing it up in Harry's face.

*I thought cowl was mentioned as indiscriminately around Dresden's height?

IIRC he just got a general "taller than Kumori" statement.

The other problem with Cowl being Harry is that, as you pointed out, his fine control is way better than Harry's. He'd have to be Harry from decades if not centuries in the future.

Not necessarily, I'm sure, under this theory one of the cowls would have been harry with Lasciel and Harry if he'd done the darkhallow, which would be him in DB. Such a change would give him power and control no?
In that version, I'm thinking 'the circle' is actually the different Harry's that came back to different points in time. But I could be misremembering who mentioned the circle 🤔
*I do not know the correct terminology for it, but the effect of 'whatever happens in the past effects the present time traveler by default' is at play I think.. looper is the best example I can think of... Predestination had that effect too to some extent.. great movie, better than the book even!

Cowl needed the book so he could perform the Darkhallow, Harry with Laciel's help read the book and learned how to do the Darkhallow, he confirms that as one of his options in Changes. So if Cowl was future Harry, he'd know how to do the Darkhallow so he wouldn't have to come back in time to get the book so he could do it when he attempted to do it in Dead Beat.

he'd have to make fate linear? It's probably more the proverbial care fate change bob talks about... A few times in the series cars simply change model mid scene, the book was the key to the future.. mmm, almost like back to the future two lmao..
*That scene at bock's is one of them, the flipped car iirc.
