The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Justin and Simon may be dead but they may also be
groinkick:
Undead. Battle Ground, and Drakul has changed things. He appears to be attempting to grow his numbers. I doubt that he just started trying to turn wizards during Battle Ground. I wouldn't be surprised if he used the war with the Red Court to grab some wizards like Simon. He may have even grabbed Justin, if he'd been in contact with him at the time.
I know it may be unlikely, especially for Justin. That being said, Justin wanted Harry as a thrall because he's a Starborn. Drakul knows Harry is a Starborn. He may have been paying attention to things for some time. He works differently than a human because his concept of time is much different. Hey may well have been growing the Black Courts numbers in secret for 100 years, or longer.
The the Reds gone, the Fomor getting their butts kicked, we may see a new enemy rise... The Black Court.
Yuillegan:
Honestly...that would be awesome. And kinda a great sucker punch. The Black Court rises again would be awesome - although surely at some point Drakul will solve the whole "Stoker weakness" issues.
Would be so very cool if Drakul literally built his own Black Council of undead BCV wizards. Good choices too.
Jim has tried to make us think the Black Court is finished, and also said that Drakul prefers a small A-Team thing rather than a full on Red Court style organisation/nation. I don't think there would be much point in raising an army if their weaknesses were obvious and well known. Would be far better if they had most or all of their weaknesses removed.
I doubt Drakul has any of the normal vulnerabilities except perhaps to Faith magic.
But what a great idea. I hope Jim does it.

Here is an idea. What if Justin had been turned Black Court right before he attacked Harry. He could have used glamour to hide his being dead already. He may have been able to survive the fire being a member of the Court as well.

Probably not. Not at least in Dead Beat anyway. Harry specifically notes Cowl's magic while strong didn't feel inhuman.

Would just be amazing, especially since it has been telegraphed for a LONG time with the very name of the "Black Council".
