The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Will the Outsider, HWWBehind, turn out to be the unsung hero at the end?

(1/5) > >>

Marconesque:
As we all know HWWBehind could ve killed Harry during the  altercation he had with DuMorne, but he chose not to.

It implies that he also considers Harry's  life worthy, possibly because he knows his potential in the long term [A Starborn that has the chance against the crazed Outsiders]
*Note that it was speculated that the Outsider had control over DuMorne, not vice versa

Any other Outsider Harry encountered, would have had no problems taking him out,[as we have seen with Sharkface and HWWBesides] indicating that almost all of them share the same goal (boiling down reality to nothingness)

But HWWB is different. Could he be the Thomas of the Outsiders? A monster that goes against his instincts and tries to see the bigger picture?

It would certainly be interesting, seeing how HHWB has been grooming Dresden for decades. Hell, he might even have had an influence over Margaret LeFay or even Blackstaff for that matter (Seeing the link Papa Raith had with HWWB) It would make him an even greater 4d chess player than Mab

TheCuriousFan:
That'd be a fun idea, I'm hoping for something like that to break up the faceless wall of tentacle feel they've got at the moment.

ClintACK:
He Who Walks Before did try to talk to Harry and get him either to stand aside or join them.

I don't love the idea of a rebel, redeemable Outsider. They're supposed to be so alien there's no room for common ground and coexistence. If they aren't that alien, if they aren't an existential threat, then what's the point of any of this?

The_Sibelis:
HWWBH is definitely a double agent. I'm thinking he's who had control of Cat Sith, the 'look behind you' joke on Harry, the subtle control he had in attacking Harry. Looking at Nemesis and Hwwb4 neither pulled any punches vs Harry. Behind has tho, perhaps repeatedly.
I favor the idea when hwwbh 'imprinted' himself on harry, marked him, he basically defined a container that Harry has slowly been filling up to be MORE like hwwbh... Harry is his preferred host for reasons unknown.. he wasn't just filled with rage and hate, but loathing of self too. That matches Harry's own development.

Except I don't think that can happen because Harry is star born.  An Outsider cannot mentally whammy him, at least according to Lash, they cannot.
