The gatekeeper might be borderline immortal. Mab started as a mortal probably wizard. Kemmler nearly became an immortal.
It is completely possible that he reaches for some power up that pushes him even more in the direction of immortality. He already has better than wizard healing.wizard is just a step between normal mortal and immortal.
It might even be a continuum.

--- Quote from: Arjan on October 02, 2020, 05:34:45 PM ---She liked those men and she trained with those men, she knows several of them personally. And I think that was exactly the reason she ended up in Valhalla, the attitude rubbed off.
And they respected her. It will be fine.
And you don't need a steed your size, a bigger one will do just fine. It might even better.
Harry won't stay mortal for long.

Harry has already died see Ghost Story, it’s not his fault it didn’t take, and he has been chosen by Gard. If anyone can get in Harry can. He just needs to concentrate on how he felt dead when opening the portal.

No, he was only mostly dead. Mab got to him before he was all dead, he never was a ghost in Ghost Story.

Depends on your definition of dead and ghost. Was corpstaker dead? she was as dead as Harry and trying to get back back.
I think we can trust Lea in this:
--- Quote --- “When Corpsetaker’s spirit still dwelt upon the mortal coil, even bodies with latent talent were hospitable enough for her to exercise her full power. But thanks to you, and like you, my dear godson, she has passed beyond the threshold between life and death. Now she requires a body with a much greater inherent talent in order to use her gifts once she is inside it.”

Harry was dead. Just not gone.

--- Quote from: magnuskn on October 01, 2020, 12:22:48 PM ---She has not come back as a Valkyrie (yet...), but she was taken to Valhalla to be an Einherjarn (despite being catholic and noticeably so in this book). So, that point of objection to her not coming back as a supernatural being is pretty much kaputt.
I personally don't believe that she is really out of the series yet, since Jim doesn't like to discard characters that easily. IMHO, she'll be back, maybe next book, maybe in a few, as an "exception to the rule" (because fictional rules are made to be broken) and either as a straight Valkyrie or as an Einherjarn.

I'm expecting her to be back in 2 books. Remember way back in Dead Beat?
--- Quote ---My boy. There’s so much still ahead of you.
So much? I whispered.
Pain. Joy. Love. Death. Heartache. Terrible waters. Despair. Hope.
I wish I could have been with you longer. I wish I could have helped you prepare for it.

Battle Ground just hit the "Terrible Waters" of that sequence. Next comes Despair...which would match up to Mirror Mirror with Harry gallivanting around an alternate universe. Harry is going to be interacting with people who will be stabbing all of his emotional wounds. Alternate-Karrin, for instance who might be alive and not particularly friendly. I can imagine Butcher cackling to himself and having there be an alternate-Rudolph who embraced the Supernatural and he's forced to help him out for the whole book. There would be a lot of potential character growth there, but it would also be complete torture the entire time.
The book after Mirror Mirror is I believe the Wrestling book, which would correspond with Hope. I expect this is the book he gets Murphy and Thomas back.
