The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
New questions that come from PT and BF
crazyut90:
After reading the whole series prior to Peace Talks and Battle Ground coming out several things have popped up and I would like to see what everyone's thoughts are on them, here we go:
1. Several times in Battlefront Harry hears commands from both Molly and Mab in his head, since he is the winter knight and Mab is his liege lord, does she have a connection with him where she know what is going on with him? It seems like going back to CD and SG that she knew more than she was told and I believe she has a contact with him similar to what Harry has to his supporters thru the Banner. The reason i bring this up is her quick comments to Harry in Peace Talks about not bringing her name shame if he screws up the rescue of Thomas, it is like she knew what he was doing.
2. This is a big one, why does Mab want a better relationship with the White Court? This one just doesn't seem to work out in everything that we have read to this point, unless Mab is grooming Lara for a Winter Lady position? or she knows that Lord Wraith is "N"infected and wants a closer look? We know from previous books that Mab always has several moves going at any time due to her responsibility of protecting the outer gates, so either is possible?
3. The last three books Mab has gotten way to close to the Baron of Chicago and I have thought that this was weird, until we find out that Marcone has a coin. I believe that she knows this and is keeping her enemies close, and she still has payback to Namshield for attaching her home. I thought Namshield was "N"infected, so now i wonder if Marcone is too?
Dina:
Well, first, it's "Battle Ground" :)
1-Yes, I agree with you. I don't think she knows all what is in Harry's head, but I think she has access of some of it. I don't know the details. That said, the explicit verbal communication between Harry and the queens was, I believe, a magic effect generated for the battle and not something that is always "on".
2-You are not the first in suggesting that Mab is grooming Lara as WL. In this same forum we argue that in several threads. I agree, only because that provides a way out for Molly. And because having Lara became a virgin, unable to have sex, would be very ironic. But besides that, I think that Mab wants to use the mundane connections and resources of the White Court. Lastly, she now knows that Lara needs to keep Harry alive, and she is providing a good way to her to be near him. And an engagement with the White Court would provide Harry with a good protection now that he is not White Council anymore.
3-Not proven, but I agree Mab knows Marcone (please, his name is Marcone) has Namshiel, and she is planning her revenge.

But did Mab know about Marcone before the ending meeting in BG? Seems like when Harry called him Sir she had an epiphany and I thought it was that she figured it out right then.
Dina:
I thought so too but after rereading that Mab puts her hand in Marcone shoulder I am pretty sure she felt it. Of course, it is my unproven theory. After all, Sir Marcone may be the honorific title for a Baron. All the Knights (including Harry) are Sir now, but that does not mean ONLY knights can use it.

I'm still not sure why she's so convinced it was Namshiel. Tessa and Rosanna are heckin' suspicious too.
If Namshiel and Marcone were infected, why fight against the Titan and the Fomor? They pretty much declared alliance with the Outsiders by coordinating the attack on Chicago with that on the Outer Gates.
