Mac's True Nature (spoilers for BG)
Griffyn612:
Still no love for the transubstantiated Raphael theory, huh?
Le sigh...
Bad Alias:
If it helps, I'm not in the Grigori definitively confirmed camp.

--- Quote ---Mac might be able to do whatever he wants so long as he doesn't use his angelic power. It would be a very good reason for him to keep himself "out." If he gets emotionally involved with anyone, he might not be able to resist the temptation to use whatever power he has.

I think he crossed that line when he smeared his blood on the Placard.

There was a WoJ that Mac hasn't ever done anything that a human couldn't do. I'd argue that him smearing his blood on the placard might still qualify. Especially if he did or does have power but can't use it, so the blood on the placard was really only an extension of the protection he offers his patrons under guest law. He wasn't taking a side, so much as defending his guests.

I disagree, if he was merely protecting his guests under guest law, then he didn't need to take the added step of smearing his blood on the Placard. Guest law is a given, as Harry says at the end of Battle Ground when he was arguing before the members of the Accords, it is a law so old and sacred it doesn't need to be written down. If he wasn't taking a side in smearing his blood on the Placard, then it shouldn't have been a hard decision for him. But it was. Harry had to push him, it was only when he was about to use his wizard's sight and Mac stopped him, did Mac come to the decision to commit himself with his blood.
--- Quote ---He lowered his hand slowly, his expression resolved. Then he took a step back, pursed his lips, looked at me, and shook his head.
--- End quote ---
Decision made, he moved briskly to put his blood on the Placard and hang it up.
