Mac [Battle Ground Spoilers]
ElJefe81:
No mention of the placard in the post mortem and ultimately we didn't see if anything even tried to get into Mac's. I would assume that Harry will leave the placard with Mac to give the Paranet crew a permanent safe haven, should there be when there is another epic threat to the city. My thought at this point would be we'll see him defend his bar and patrons in the BAT.

You don't think they're going to use the castle as their safe haven? The Paranet was already using it as of Ghost Story, with Marcone letting Butters live there, and others come and go with a nursery and everything.
I could see where it might be a target, and he wouldn't want to jeopardize civilians during a battle. But he already took civilians in during a battle.

I thought the name 'Raphael' means 'God heals', 'God has healed', or something to that effect?
Not sure about Rafael vs Raphael, but Rafael is the Spanish form (eg San Rafael, CA).
Professor Q:
Ever since Skin Game, my pet theory has been that Mac is Bob's father. Mythology says that Watchers are angels who produced offspring with humans. In the Dresdenverse angels are beings of pure soul, and we are told that pairings between spiritual entities and humans produce spirits of intellect. In mythological terminology Bob and Bonea are Nephilim.
So my scenario is that about 1000 years ago, angelic Mac fell in love with a human woman and they produced Bob. That caused him to fall from grace and transubstantiate into his current form. He's probably in Chicago to keep an eye on his son.

That's what I've always seen, but this entry for The Book of Giants mentions a dual meaning to the verb rafa, which is supposedly both 'to heal' and 'to tie'. If so, maybe Jim chose that spelling for a reason.
