The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
I'm A Bit Confused... Nemesis or Outsider or Both???
Arjan:
Entities that are around for some time can gather a lot of names. When Harry summoned mother winter he used a few but not the most important ones.
Griffyn612:
It doesn't seem that complicated when you think in computer terms.
* The Outer Gates are a Firewall that block almost all traffic from the Outside.
* Free Will Summoning is a Firewall Port that's open to the Outside that allows traffic in.
* Black Magic Use is something that opens local Ports on the user, which Outsiders can use to access the system.
* HWWBeside is a Hacker who's gotten inside the firewall and can use Black Magic Ports to open more Ports on local systems, including Remote Access Protocol.
* The Athame is a USB drive with HWWBeside's malware that will open Ports without Black Magic Use initiating the intrusion.
* HWWBeside is likely hosted on a system inside the Network (Reality), which is his foothold.
* HWWBeside might be able to pass from host to host if the right ports are open.
* The question is if HWWBeside is limited to one system at a time, or if he can be on several.
* The possession of Lea shown in PG implies that HWWBeside was trapped inside Lea at the time, but managed to escape her system and moved to another.
* This could mean HWWBeside is limited to actively possessing only one host at a time, but it may be that he can be on several (my guess would be three) and he didn't like having one of his install instances/licenses tied up on a quarantined system.

But until that moment on the boat, did Harry have any clue that Outsiders were Nemesis? Or why does everyone go all Lord Voldermort when it comes to naming the enemy?

I can barely surf the net... So now I am even more confused.. ???
Arjan:
Also we have already seen that one entity can have multiple instances at the same time. As early.as blood rites and the ape things that guarded Mouse. The huntsman in battle ground and the corner hounds.
Dina:
Perhaps it can manifest in 13 things?
Mira, I've got lost with Griff analogy too.
