Could Harry become a signatory to the Accords?

I think it may have been 7 Senior Council members, one with some kind of role for each law. But for the life of me, I can't really see how it fits together.
The Gatekeeper's role and connection to a law seems obvious, but what is the law connected to "The Warden"? It can't be just black magic -- only one (arguably two, now) prisoner even qualifies as human. Black magic is only a human relevant concept.
In any event, I doubt that it's actually worked out that way for maybe a millennium even if there was once a linkage. The Council just doesn't function as intended and does not seem to be fit for purpose anymore.
I mean, Kemmler apparently had Harry's job as The Warden once upon a time. How much more evidence do we need that the Council is completely FUBAR.

Yeah but Eb had the Blackstaff before being a Senior Council member. He only took the role of Senior Council member to protect Harry. Also the Blackstaff can violate all the laws so I don't know how the others members would be in charge of a law.
I guess there could be some kind of Mantle for each role. Which means Eb took on a new mantle when becoming the newest member.

In answer to your question, Harry already is a member of the Accords. Twice in fact though one may be taken away now.

--- Quote ---"Marcone is not someone to cross lightly," I said. "Not only that, but he is a member of the Accords."
"I'm not," Nicodemus said. "Not any longer."
"I am," I said. "Twice. As Wizard of the White Council and as the Winter Knight."

I guess now you could change that to as Wizard of Chicago.

I think the difference is that a member is someone who belongs to a group while the signatory of the accords would be like Harry being his own group. I one person member. Like Marcone.
Griffyn612:
I could see where in the first generation after Merlin, there were seven seniors with seven responsibilities. But due to wizards keeping secrets, and unexpected deaths without specific inheritance protocols, and changes in Council rules and practices, the association of one for one was lost.
Thus do we end up with the Blackstaff not on the Senior Council, and the Warden mantle abandoned. There could be other mantles out there that aren't used just like the Warden went unfulfilled for decades or longer.
