The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Why is Marcone such a heavy magical hitter?
TrueMonk:
I think it is super unrealistic that the other fallen does not listen through the shadows also. I mean, if one of them can why are the others not doing it? Why did Marcone not just grow into a super big bear and fight head on?
A bit more serious, I do not understand why it seems so odd that the fallen are different, when all the fallen we have seen so far have been. I think it would be very strange indeed if Thorned Namshiel did not have some other advantage when he cannot listen through any shadow that he wants or turn into a giant bear. It could seem like that advantage is having access to magical power of some sort.
In regards to Hendricks death; I think there is a very very large difference in between being speared by Gungner (Odins spear) and just getting ones neck broken. I definately think it is possible that Marcone could have been killed by that.
On Harry being lazy or not. All these guys you are comparing him to has had teachers, Harry has been self-studying since he was a teenager. My guess is that Eb looked at all his talent and thought that he needed to learn why to use it and not be an even more powerfull wizard than he allready was. Since then Harry have not trusted any that could teach him. Like if I studied martial arts at home all day, but with limited access to training materials, of course I would be having challenges keeping up with a guy who studies under a master, like Ramirez.
Who should Harry have used as a teacher earlier? There could definately be some that I have just missed.

He's had some opportunity, such as with LtW, but that was already pretty late in the series.

He never has been, and he has always been a man of goals and will use anything or anyone to his advantage and with the exception of the child who was collateral damage, he has no regrets. That
is what actually scared Harry when he soul gazed him so many years ago. The coins seem to match up with the personalities and or weaknesses of their hosts. Marcone would have deliberately chosen
Namshiel because he believes that will give him the most power.. So far it has, and I think he has bought into the "partnership" idea verses being dominated by the Fallen trapped in the coin. This may work out, it worked for the Battle of Chicago, or it may not, time will tell. No, in of himself, Marcone hasn't any talent, but he will allow a Fallen angel with lots of talent and experience to use him for whatever ends.. Thinking long term, you understand?
