But Sigrun ran being a Valkyrie by her when she noted that Murphy was even blonde, and Odin liked that.

Perhaps, but unless Sigrun is lying to Harry, it is as she stated..  Einherjar... Yes, Gard did offer her a job in Aftermath, one as a security consultant for Marcone.  She then says that Vadderung might be interested in her, she even has the right hair color, but no, she doesn't offer Murphy a job specifically to be a Valkyrie.

BrainFireBob:
Who is claiming Murphy isn't an Einherjar now?

The Valkyries are the security consultants. Seems like she offered Valkyrie in Aftermath. Turned it down. But when she died, she was collected for the Einherjar.

Gard said it. They don't become one until no one else remembers them. They are at rest now. Serve later

I do think we will see Murphy again-  in the BAT. If the BAT actually is the equivalent if Ragnorak, wouldn’t that mean that ALL the Einherjarin join with Odin in that final battle? Also, we may see an alternate Murphy in Mirror Mirror.

The warning signs were all there. Rudolph was increasingly unstable and violent. Earlier in the book, he pointed his gun at Harry with a shaky hand and his finger on the trigger. "The gun in his hands shook. It was a miracle it didn't go off."

Then Bradley standing to the side of the door while knocking -- he's clearly expecting that Rudolph is a loose cannon who might fire at the door if anyone knocks. Then he's deranged -- blaming Dresden's "lies" for the Jotun and fomor swarming Chicago. Bradley has to physically knock Rudolph out to safely extract the kids.

Their error is that they never, ever considered Rudolph to be a serious threat. They're in high-adrenaline fight-or-flight mode for the Jotun, then they're in joking-post-fight-cooldown mode while Rudolph is ranting and pointing a gun at them.

The problem is the fact that however despicable Rudolph is, he is still fellow humans and not monsters. If Rudolph is another kind of being, even if he is just another pixie, this won't hhappened at all. This kind of thing would always be an issue unless Harry decide to go full darkside. Actually everyone has this weakness. We are vulnerable to the closest thing to ourselves. Harry rated the danger level of the White court higher than the red or the blacks for exactly this reason. The white court is too similar to humanity while the rampires and blampires will be something other no matter how dangerous or powerful they are. The same reason why I believe it when Lilly the late summer lady mentioned that Mab is vulnerable to the winter knight even though Lilly is stupid and Maeve is nemfected.
