How hard did Ebenezar try to kill Lord Raith?

It's especially silly with how Blood Rites went out of it's way to show how piss-poor Lord Raith's security was.
Ebenezar has shown a bunch of ways to take him down which is why Blood Rites looks weird in hindsight and this sort of thread pops up from time to time.

In the real world we'd track him and end him with a Hellfire missile. This isn't the real world and killing someone powerful who doesn't want to be killed isn't all that easy in the first place. Eventually people notice.

The only thing I could come up with is that just as the Entropy curse causes anything bad that can happen, to happen regardless of how unlikely (like a frozen turkey falling from an airplane), perhaps his protection offers the opposite. It's entropy protection meaning that he basically has unbelievable magical luck when it comes to attempts on his life.

I favor the idea that what she did was expand his protection, such that it ground out any energy he tried to feed on.
As to how he went so long- I assume he started topped off and never did anything while desperately seeking a way out.

How exactly would you track down the Wizard that you dont know exists, who can be anywhere in the world at a moments notice, look like anyone, control minds, and time travel?

I was referring to Lord Raith, not Eb.
However just for laughs and giggles. If a organization like the Librarians exist then the existence of wizards isn't a secret. Almost certainly there would be quislings, people like Kincaid, jealous lovers, and money. Can you see where this is going? One bright sunny morning Eb would be sitting at his table with his favorite brew looking at his freshly washed and licensed pickup. He wouldn't hear the missile until it was too late to react.

That difficulty in tracking didn't stop Eb from getting close enough to supposedly attempt it three times.
