[BG spoilers!!] Revisiting the short story "Monsters"
Dina:
I agree.
Back to the short story, I was intrigued for something. Grey speaks about Marcone bodyguard (not mentioned) as Eihenjaren and revenant. He even threats of passing through a valkyrie and eihenjaren. The story is said to take place "some time after SG" and I don't think is post-BG because the world and Chicago seem to normal, too masquerade-holding. So...was Hendricks an eihenjaren before BG?

If he was Gard wouldn't have been drinking so much after the battle.
Dina:
I agree, but this is weird. Unless Hendricks was not here, but have we ever seen Marcone without Hendricks until the end of BG?
This is a post of the time of that story (by Snark Knight)
--- Quote from: Snark Knight on October 09, 2019, 11:34:35 PM ---It was alright, but the lack of revealing any real backstory or lore held it back somewhat. Viti was interesting in a way - I wonder if she might have some superhuman heritage too, with that kind of shooting skill.
Was the line about Marcone's "big dumb Einherjar bodyguard" a hint that Hendricks died and signed on with Monoc to stay in the game / stay with Gard? Or has Hendricks been replaced by an Einherjar? If he was referring to Hendricks at all, it's vaguely amusing that Grey makes the same mistake of underestimating him that Harry does.

That's a shame. I thought the Goodman Grey one was out soon and this was it.
But this looks like Harry just being unreasonably difficult to work with while interacting with Marcone.
Grey's POV isn't really that Harry-like, actually. He's closer to Marcone in Even Hand, trying to bury everything under a just-business veneer, but with the same avenging streak toward child abusers.

Snark Knight:
Oh, yeah, weird ... at the time I was wondering if he'd died off screen since Changes, but that ended up being kind of on the nose. Except, apparently, Einherjar can't come back while those who remember them are still alive (*BAT exceptions may apply).
Dina:
Yes, I understood that you meant that at the moment, but now...wtf? I was wondering if JB intended eihenjaren to be able to go back if contracted and then he changed his mind.
