--- End quote ---
Yup, that was it. Thanks.
So it's combining these:
--- Quote --- Ebenezer shook his head. "A dinner. Maggie - my Maggie -
asked me to a dinner. She'd just taken up with that Raith
bastard. Arianna was there. Maggie didn't warn me. They had
some scheme they wanted my support on. The vampires
thought I was just Maggie's mentor, then." He sighed. "I
wanted nothing to do with it. Said she shouldn't want it, either.
And we fought."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote --- "She did," Ebenezer confirmed. "I don't know why, but for
some reason she turned away from her previous associates -
including Justin DuMorne. After that nowhere was safe for her.
She ran from her former allies and from the Wardens for
perhaps two years. And she ran from me. I had my orders
regarding her as well."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote --- "It is relevant," Lasciel said, "because of the
circumstances of your birth - because of why you were
born, Harry. Your mother found the strength to escape Lord
Raith for a reason."
...
"There was a complex confluence of events, of energies, of
circumstances that would have given a child born under them
the potential to weild power over Outsiders."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote --- "Oh, wizard," Drakul chided me. "Their immaculate
beardlinesses have you in the dark even now? As one
starborn to another, I must say it seems unseemly in the
extreme."
...
Something ugly flickered in that smile for a few beats.
Then Drakul shook his head. "I would tell you to ask of your
own White Council what they aren't willing to tell you, what
they bred you for, and what they expect you to do."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote --- Martha continued as if I hadn't spoken. "Bitter. Angry.
Obsessive."
Ebenezer frowned. "Seems to me he has good reason to be.
You and the rest of the Senior Council saw to that."
Martha shook her head. "You know what he was meant to
be. He's too great a risk."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote --- "We owe you," he confirmed. "But it ain't about debt. There's
some secrets that do worse than get you killed. A whole hell
of a lot worse." He eyed me. "You need to trust us."
...
"You get through tonight," Listens-to-Wind said, "you give
me a little time. I'll be your advocate. I'll speak on your behalf
to the others."
...
"I'm a wizard, Hoss. Which means I'm arrogant." He smiled
a little. "But not that arrogant. That's how big this is, boy.
I, a senior wizard of the White Council, don't think I'm smart
enough to make this call alone."
...
He snorted through his nose. "The people I need to talk to?
Make it a year."

Bad Alias:
--- Quote from: Psyklone on October 01, 2020, 09:00:22 AM ---We know that these stories are his journals which does seem to indicate he will live, but there are so many ways that could actually come about. I.e. he dies in the trilogy but due to his foray in GS he becomes something similar to Bob, etc...
--- End quote ---
The most likely answer to how Harry could write the journals after everything happens and be dead is explained in PT. He has spoken with Mort and Uriel to ensure he will leave a ghost to watch over Maggie.
--- Quote from: Rigil Kent on October 02, 2020, 05:10:56 PM ---Interesting theory I saw on Reddit (apologies if its on here somewhere as well), but a lot of the stories about the original Merlin is that he is the son of a mortal and an incubus. White Court vamps are referred to frequently as succubi which is the feminine version so the theory was that Mab was looking toward a possible second generation Merlin with the Harry/Lara wedding. It's an interesting theory if nothing else.

He probably would have to have been one whose first time was a true love experience. Jim has said that a wamp practitioner can't get to the level of a White Council wizard.
@Griffyn612: But whose why and whose reason? It wasn't necessarily Maggie's.

If we assume there's a major event that has been foretold on the horizon during Maggie's time (aka the BAT), and it's known that Starborn are integral to reality surviving, then I could see Maggie wanting a Starborn on her side, sharing her mindset, rather than the mindset of Drakul or the White Council (Rashid has been theorized as being a Starborn) or whatever other factions have one.
So she decides to make one, but needs help from nefarious powers to make it happen. She puts together her Dark Council, tries to recruit Eb but fails, and proceeds. In the process, she realizes Raith is using her and has no intention of advancing her cause, so she escapes and goes on the run.
Then Malcolm, pregnancy, pending death, request to Morgan to watch over Harry, death, continued monitoring by the Council because she told them everything, Malcolm's death, Harry's disappearance, then rediscovery after DuMorne's death. Seniors then decide to keep him around just in case.
The question is, did the Seniors secret him away from Morgan and into DuMorne's hands, to forge their own weapon, only DuMorne went too far and ruined it?

Lea’s role in all this is crucial. Margaret probably saw the gates at some point because she compared notes with the gatekeeper and was close to Lea.
At a certain point she understood the purpose of winter and decided to help. It also was part of her deal with Lea. Her close relations with the Sidhe make no sense otherwise.
A star born was both necessary and dangerous during the next apocalypse.
She decided to gave birth to one. Or the child being star born was part of her deal with Lea.
But a life story of Margaret is incomplete without Lea.

No, it doesn't. All Harry was saying is once he decided to be a father, he made arrangements with Mort and Uriel so he could remain as sort of a guardian angel for his daughter, he is neither an angel nor is he a ghost per say.
