The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
We Now Know What/Who Mac Is
Yuillegan:
Rudolph is in someone's pocket, sure. But Marcone is hardly the only person with money and influence, and he isn't going to benefit the most (if much at all) from the destruction of the Peace Talks he helped arrange and host.
The most obvious player is the White Court. They have much to gain from Harry being distracted and Lara has influence that rivals if not outstrips Marcone in the mortal world, and much more on the side of the establishment. See Jury Duty and that helps show some of it.

She has fallen to a point so low from where she was in the beginning and Harry just pushed her down even further by telling her to stay put. Yes it's to defend the people of Chicago while Harry goes to defend the city of Chicago, but it's not where she thinks she should be.
Jim has either set her up to find her new click and return in the future with new friends to help in the BAT, or he is setting her up to go in a blaze of glory and gore. Which would be perfect for MM, a story about how much his decisions changed the world, for good and bad.
And no, no power ups for Murphy. Last I heard, Jim said no power ups for her unless it's a bigger gun. So no return as an avenging angel or a new hire for Monoc security. It would cheapen her character.

I have to amend my comment about Murphy becoming a part of Monoc securities. She actually could and probably will, but not the way fans think and what some of us think was foreshadowed.
I remember a time when people went crazy with the idea of her becoming a Valkyrie. Jim then said no powerups for her. If she needs a powerup, she gets a bigger gun.
Yeah, just think about it. She's been training with the warriors up until she got hurt, she's been referred to as a warrior before but Lara's new security consultant called her one but it felt like there was some weight behind it, and the Valkyrie knows when she's slated to die.
Each thing individually means nothing, but putting them together...
I wonder if Murphy dies earlier in the book, Harry doesn't know about it, suddenly Murphy is back with her motorcycle and rocket launcher and we are left to wonder how. All the while she took the offer to be one of the Viking warriors. Thus not getting a powerup, but putting her in a statis to help with an army come the BAT, all while pushing her away from Harry like Jim has been doing to all of Harry's allies.
It would work with what we saw in the trailer with Murphy and would kinda make sense to why Jim gave Harry his WCourt protection back so quickly after they started dating.

Yes, that would be about the only way the trailer works, but at the same time would the turn around be that fast? Also most of the Valkyrie will be pretty busy on the battlefield. Also becoming a Valkyrie would be a power up for her. What does the true love protection have to do with any of this? It didn't save Susan from becoming a half-vamp, from turning, or from getting her throat cut by her true love.

Here’s a thought what if Rudolph is in everyone’s pocket except Marcone’s ? He could have been taking money from the White Court, the White Council, the swartalves etc he strikes me as someone who would do that, and Battle Ground may be where they all compare notes and get very angry at Rudolph when they all realise he has been selling information about them all to each other.

Not a Valkyrie, just one of the Warriors. She already turned down a Valkyrie job. And my thought process was that if she died, she was reborn in healed ready to fight in this all out battle.
I've read a couple other series where it was based on Vikings and the character left their body after they died and was reborn in a new better body.
As for the true love thing, that was me just spouting. I just felt it awfully fast for Jim to point that out, not for it to have happened. Kinda felt like Jim is pointing things like that out because something is going to happen between them and Jim wants to let the fans know where they stand. That's all. Sorry for confusing you.
