The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
[BG spoilers!!] After rereading PT
Arjan:
Iris not just that. We have seen his reaction to the svartalves. To Kincaid. To basically everything that is not completely human.
Their feelings and opinions don’t matter. They will all hurt you because that is their nature. Better just to intimidate them because that is the only thing they understand.
Not completely untrue in most cases but it is that party line that believes killing anything not human is not a crime.
That mentality is probably widespread within the council and he has it strongly. They feel superior to anything else. See how he reacted to hearing Thomas was his grandson. See how he described duty as a trap. He might not even consider that Winter has a serious duty in defending the gates.
It is a mentality that brings you far and will be confirmed a lot of times but it will also make you blind for some things sometimes.
Dina:

Well, here's what struck me.

Which sums up Murphy's death.
On this other thing there isn't enough backstory. Eb's a one man death squad. He kills those who he thinks need killing. But when you wrestle in mud you get muddy and when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Language is not clear. It's a common enough usage.
--- Quote from: morriswalters on October 21, 2020, 04:41:56 AM ---Does anybody but me see that this fight with Eb and the doppelganger getting killed by Eb accidentally pulling the trigger on his spell as foreshadowing what Rudolph does to Murphy?

I do now that you pointed it out. Or at least I can see the argument for it.
