Did Ebeneezer use Mind Magic to make Thomas try the hit?
Mira:
--- Quote ---Eb comments on Malcolm's characteristics in BR. From that I assumed Eb had tabs on him. From the Morgan story, I assume he lost tabs on him. From a WoJ, I know my first assumption was right. Harry doesn't know that he was vanished bureaucratically and magically, so he blames Eb for abandoning him in his hour of need.
I'd say Eb didn't abandon Harry to the foster system, but he would have.

Eb never made an attempt to keep tabs on Malcolm or his grandson. Remember Morgan said Margaret asked him to keep tabs on Harry, Eb was never mentioned. I doubt that Morgan knew the connection between Eb and Harry. Still doesn't account for Eb not telling Harry who he was when he went to live with him.

Him and his other wizard friends kept an eye on her. At least the Gatekeeper did.

Did so.

Doesn't mean Eb didn't keep tabs on them too.

There is no evidence that he ever did.
Bad Alias:
Yes there is. There's some in BR.

No, there isn't. Eb admits he knew when Harry was born, that Raith killed his mother,that he tried to kill him, but he wasn't able. He says that it wasn't Harry's fault he got raised by that "SOB DuMorne." However he doesn't say that he knew anything about the adoption when it happened or found out after the fact at Harry's trial. The Council with a couple of exceptions, Rashid for one knew Harry was the son of Margaret, but apparently not that Eb was her father.
Then Eb admits the mistakes he made with Margaret. Page 302 Blood Rites. Also confirming the
impression that he had nothing to do with her until she came into her power around twelve or so.
--- Quote ---"I failed her. He chewed his lip. "Harry. . .when Maggie was coming into her power, I made her life a living hell. She was barely more than a child, but I rode herd on her night and day, I pushed her to learn. To excel. But I was too close. Too involved. And she resented it. She ran off as soon as she could get away with it.

He said he didn't want to make the same mistakes with Harry, but he never told him that Margaret was his daughter or Harry his grandson. Harry hurt and pissed because Eb never told him he knew his mother, who he knew nothing about. Then Harry got really pissed because Eb had lied to him from the beginning. They kind of made up in the intervening books, but when Eb presumed to tell Harry that little Maggie was better off without him, it ripped open those wounds all over again.
