Who do you think the Vampires took from Eb?

Yes… Well she’s not alive any more.
Was she significant?
Well, she was a mortal. That was about it."
1. Confirmed he has something planned for Harry's grandmother
2. She's either dead, or undead
3. She "was" mortal could be a play on words. I mean that means she either died or she is no longer mortal (turned for example).
Reading that makes me think even more strongly that something happened to his wife. Either she was killed, or she was turned. If there was no big deal, I think Jim would have just said something like "she past away from old age". Him having a plan for the character to me sounds like it's meaningful and she didn't just get old, and pass from natural causes.

Kinda ignores the "That was about it" part, doesn't it?

Yeah, she could have been normal and nothing big came of her. I don't think that will be the case, but I could be totally wrong.

Then again, if Eb truly is in the early stages of dementia, emotions can get magnified all out of proportion. That is one of the symptoms, stewing about if for a couple of hundred years without
venting doesn't help either. What speaks to the dementia angle is if Eb has really been that angry about it over the years, one wonders how he could have dinner with Margaret, Lord Raith, and Arrianna? Just to see his daughter? Maybe, but one cannot hide that kind of animosity. I suspect before he married Lara, Eb will tell Harry where the root of his hate comes from. Harry may have make a choice, Lara and his pledge to Mab, or his grandfather..

For magic to work it requires a great deal of mental focus. If Eb has any form of dementia, he couldn't be throwing around magic that is well beyond Harry, (and he did so in the most recent book). He also was able to match Harry in a physical confrontation when they fought. I see absolutely no signs that Eb is fading either physically, or mentally. His prime may have been at like 150, but he's still way beyond Harry in magic, and is still physically very capable, more so than most vanilla 40 year olds.

Coulda just been Maggie's mom?
Fyi, the closer to the gate the slower time moves, makes excellent sense just based on regular physics. A clock on a plane runs something like .00000451 faster than a clock on the surface of earth even though the time at each spot is perceived the same way. Can't remember who released it, but there is a very neat little video on YouTube explaining gravity doesn't need to exist for the effects of gravity to to be felt. It's all a space-time distortion, mass is the only variable. But, if you look at superpowerful beings, they actually distort gravity all by themselves. Time may run differently in certain NN domain's because it or the creature whose sanctum it is has greater metaphysical "mass" gathered, and intentionally slowing time in ones own domain a simple"flex" of energy composition. Instead of focusing energy into one spot(Al la avatar), you expand it, if that makes sense?

Not if it was in it's earliest stages, or the result of say a mini stroke.. And that's the point Eb is so far beyond in skills it might be hard to tell especially if you've never seen him fight before, all out. Harry was able to fool him with his doppelganger, the Blackstaff should have been able to see through that. Emotional involvement could have something to do with it, but still. Also Eb's reaction, he knew he lost control, he of all people should never have done that.
