The way Blood on his soul survived?

(1/5) > >>

So Nicodemus once a year can use his Barabbas curse.  He attempted to kill Dresden with it, but Shiro took Dresden's place.  According to the Bible, the people had a choice.  Release Jesus who had done nothing wrong, or release Barabbas, a known criminal.  The people chose Barabbas.  I suspect that Nicodemus is able to choose who lives, or who dies, once a year.  In this situation he used it to save Blood on his soul who was smashed to paste, and should not have survived.

Conspiracy Theorist:
It would also mean his release from Hades domain, AND he didn’t choose Hannah Ascher, or Deidre so that means Laschiel and the Missus are NOT going to be happy he choose a big smelly grendelkin.

I thought the Knights chose a life to save

It is a little more complicated I believe..  When they fight someone one with a coin and defeat them they give him or her a choice,1] give up the coin and seek redemption for the rest of his or her life2]not, but more or less let them get away in the hope that someday they might give up the coin3] if the coin holder continues to battle, they can kill them in the course of the battle..

The Knights have a duty, not a choice.  They don't choose life or death.  They provide the person with a Coin a Choice of life or death.  if the person gives up the Coin, the Knight cannot choose death, as Karen Murphy found out. 

We know that the Noose gives Nicodemus the ability to cast the Barabbas curse, which will kill someone.  There is no known defense against the Barabbas death curse other than someone who will sacrifice themselves.  I'm suggesting that it's more than that.  Nicodemus can also choose to save someone who shouldn't be able to survive.
