I assume that was either body hopping Capiocorpus style, or he'd performed a low-level Darkhallow that regenerated him slowly.
vultur:
Yeah the Kemmler thing really surprises me. If the Warden can release the prisoners (as Alfred/Demonreach told Harry) why didn't he release some Ethniu-level power on the condition that it swore a magically-binding oath to destroy the White Council?
Maybe something to do with the 'starborn cycle' made Ethniu more freely able to act in the mortal world than would have been possible a century ago?
Still, even a half-dozen naagloshii assassins could have seriously messed up the White Council's war efforts, likely enough for Kemmler to win.

I thought it was what Corpsetaker tried to do in GS, except that Kemmler succeeded where she failed.
He definitely did do some kind of "low-level Darkhallow" however, since Mab says that eating spirits was the secret of the power that let him defy the Council. It's not just something he knew how to do but never got a chance to use - he actually gained power from it.

Which sort of tracks with their desperate attempts to keep him from getting back to the island, though...

Well, it's just that, if I were an evil warlock Warden of Demonreach, I'd know that as a warlock the White Council was my largest threat. So I'd release some powerful beings oathbound to destroy the White Council as my first move.
IE why did he leave the island before the White Council was gone?
In a chaotic world with the Council destroyed, he could then start setting up a magical organization of his own.
BrainFireBob:
Bindings are difficult and the beings aren't trustworthy.
Anything he released to annihilate the council- could he confine it himself?
"I bind you to me, for me you must destroy the White Council."
*Pause*
"What's that?"
"I incited thermonuclear war/the plague to end all plagues. Trust me, Council's gone. Good luck with the fallout."
