Eb will die in a fight. Men like him don't die quietly. So as you age at some point you realize that you will never be as strong as you were the last time and that sooner or later you won't be strong enough to win. That's how Jim is writing him. He's signaling that the fight is in the near future.
I don't think he's bending time. Somebody is time traveling. Or crossing between time lines.

I hope to see him go out in a blaze of glory, but years ago I had a prediction that I really hope doesn't happen. My prediction was that he'd be shackled with the thorned manacles that don't allow him to use magic. He will be beheaded by the Council. Carlos saying that would happen if he didn't kill Dresden if ordered to makes me think it's more likely. It would be a way of really getting Harry to declare war on the Council (and be emotional for the fans).

But Eb, Listens to Wind, and Martha Liberty are given descriptions that make them seem past their prime, moreso than in previous books. Maybe I'm reading more into what River Shoulders was saying in PT.

Yeah I agree with this. What really kind of stinks is that there isn't any good replacements for the "new order". I see the end game is Harry will basically be Merlin, and he will be part of the Round Table, hand down Excalibur ect. but I don't see any new wizards to stand beside him and create a new White Council.

They'd have to catch Eb first before they put him in any thorned manacles, I don't see Eb submitting quietly to any of that. I think when Eb wakes up from surgery and finds out what the Council did behind his back after Harry put it on the line to deal with Ethniu, he is going to be very pissed off. I can see a real split happening, hard to tell whether or not Eb would surrender the Black Staff, but I see him in the next book showing up at the castle telling Harry he quit and is now backing him. It may take a little longer for Listens to Wind and Rashid, but I see them following suit.

Yeah, if Jim follows somewhat the pattern of The Lord of the Rings, like the elves going into the West, the time for wizards will have past with the BAT so it will be a hollow victory of sorts. I'm not sure where the wizards will go, possibly some part of the Nevernever, and magical talent will simply fade for lack of practice from the world.

I can't. He's not going to get over Harry being engaged to Lara.
One of the narrative purposes of that plot arc is probably going to be driving the wedge between Harry and Eb even deeper.

Maybe, maybe not, I don't see the engagement lasting that long, Molly is on the case. And even if Eb doesn't show up on Harry's doorstep, I don't see him remaining in the Council after this.
