I also think what Harry pulled at the Peace Talks did the most damage. For two reasons, Carlos was trusting Harry to have his back, and it was a major embarrassment for Carlos. The latter I think did the most damage to their relationship, not Harry not leveling with him.

The thing at the peace talks also left scars and probably had a very real chance of putting Carlos back in a wheelchair on top of hurting like hell.

But Harry helped him survive the encounter with Drakul and his bunch, which is one of the reasons why blaming Harry for so many deaths irks me so much.

He did, but Carlos is a proud man, he may be even just a bit jealous. Harry admits that Carlos is better at many forms of magic than he is. Here's Carlos, yes, his body will heal, he is a wizard, but for the most part for now at any rate, he is pretty much stuck in a thankless job. Yeah, he might be the North American Commander, but Luccio holds the strings. Then there is Harry who seems to be the hero at almost every turn, and to add insult to injury he skipped a grade when he became a full wizard at 16. So while Harry and Carlos seemed to be friends, if you scratched the surface, Carlos also has a lot to resent as far as Harry goes.

Yeah, probably not close enough friends to share that one. Another thing is that he didn't just get beat up, seemed like Mab kept him stable so he didn't die while the Council sent help. Goes way past being beat up. Getting almost killed trying to shop lift some booty off the Winter Lady while on assignment will not play well in any office.

Yup, humiliation from the Winter Court on top of his serious injuries, then what Harry did to him at the Peace talks, more humiliation handed to him from a rep of the Winter Court.
