More evidence Eb is sketchy

SerScot:
Ebenezer gives me weird vibes.  Has for sometime.  I’m in the middle of a re-read and I’m on Turn Coat.  Harry told Ev he was going to call out Peabody before he did so.  Eb said he was going to make “preparations”.  Why was Peabody able to wreak such havoc when the blackstaff was forewarned and had made “preparations”.

Is Eb on the up and up?  His Daughter, taught by him, was likely a member of the “black council”.  He’s a professional assassin.  He is skeptical of the existing White Council.  What if Eb is not who he seems to be?

Do not discount Peabody's ink, Eb was as exposed to it as everyone else with few exceptions.  That put him under the influence of Peabody, how much or how little hasn't been gone into.  Though at the end of Turn Coat Rashid told Harry they'd have to revisit Council decisions going back at least twelve years.  The only reason Harry was spared was he didn't hang out at headquarters and missed a lot of meetings, still unimportant perhaps, he was spared contact with the ink, though by Turn Coat Peabody was very eager for him to sign papers he put before him.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry was clear of Peabody’s influence because he hated paperwork and authority.

On cannot discount that the White Council are not still bogged down in part by Peabody’s post hypnotic instructions. Martha Liberty springs to mind.

Mira,

Well, “don’t set up wards that will stop a fleeing traitor” is an awfully specific and overt manipulation to work on older minds (remember they made a big deal about that).  Peabody’s ink only worked because it was very subtle manipulation. 

Something about Eb makes my spidey senses tingle.

Perhaps it's the idea that he is a one man death squad. Judge, jury and executioner. Power corrupts and all that BS.
