Anyone catch "It" in Battle Ground?

I don't think it's that the blampires can't use Harry. More like their boss has forbidden them from overly hurting any starborn. A starborn is more cosmically significant than your run of the mill wizard, so Harry gets a modicum more respect. Barely.

Calling someone an "It" is because they are either alien to you, or below you (they aren't a person). I don't think it's too rich for a Vamp. I think it's an energy source that Drakul likes to feed on.

Right. That's what I said, but as a star born, Harry might be a step above and a "he" to feed the master, but too good for your ordinary vamp.

Well when the BCV's had Dresden, one of the twins said "lets feed it to my sister", when talking about Harry. Mavra refused saying that Harry's kind isn't for them but for Drakul.
It's odd that he referred to Harry as "It". Is this how they think of all humans, or is it because Harry is a Starborn? Reminds me of when Harry first met Kincaid and Kincaid told Harry he was as much human as Harry was.

Blampires aren't people. They are demons who take over the body of a dead person. Wild Bill and Yoshi are dead. They've gone through that single person door to the other side. A Blampire is inhabiting their shell, the ultimate desecration of their memory.

Yes, they are dead, but it isn't a simple matter of a vampire inhabiting the shell zombie-like, just enough of the original personality remains to torment those who knew them when they were an alive human.
