Bob's Parents
morriswalters:
I only know what I read. We've seen the process twice. Once with Harry and Lash and once with Bob and Evil Bob. The only other spirit of intellect resides in the Archive. And no one ever asks how the Archive came to exist.

All I am saying is she wasn't conceived in the normal biological way..
Conspiracy Theorist:
Not sure the Archive is a spirit of Intellect, Bob is compared to a smaller version of the Archive as a data retrieval device.
As regards Namshiel and Marcone, it’s the act of creation going on inside Marcone’s head which is important. Marcone has been touched and soul gazed by Harry so he knows he is a vanilla mortal. The Fallen have to reside in their hosts head as shadows or otherwise, but I doubt they really if ever prior to Lash and Harry engaged in a creative (as opposed to a destructive) processes. Marcone and Namshiel May be making a spirit of intellect but I doubt there is any love involved which may be required.
Yes Bob can bud off another version of himself by giving it a chunk of his memories which is another form of reproduction, one I doubt is open to more fleshy Fae. The moral is “Life Finds Away” as Sue would say.

I never had an thought that biology was involved. The concept of Lash and Bonea make no sense in that respect. Your brain doesn't have any spare capacity in the way Jim writes it. And it never made any sense that Lash didn't give Harry headaches and Bonea did.
@Conspiracy Theorist
For a character with such unique qualities, the Archive doesn't get much explanation.

And Jim likes it that way, it means he isn’t hedged in when he next uses the character, which suggests it’s all going to come out in the future. A lot of people were frustrated by the lack of character interaction between Harry and Ivy in Peace Talks and Battle Ground, and I suspect that was deliberate for the future reveal. Instead we got River as confidant and exposition as fan service, a character previously relegated to side stories. It was a bit like Matt Murdoch/Kingpin appearing in No WayHome/Hawkeye.
The likelihood is the same with Bob’s parents, there is some future plot point bound up in it so it makes this a significant topic for speculation.Jim has teased this following speculation upon Bonea coming into being, so he is sitting there gleefully hugging himself.
We know Harry is going to time travel as he will breach every law of Magic, so perhaps we are going to see Bob’s conception or birth or the consequences of them. This is why I think a historical wizard like Michael Scot, is Bob’s Father, Harry is responsible for putting the British Prisoner in Demonreach in the past to frustrate Lea’s continued attention, after religious instruction and iron skullcaps fail. For example Harry needs to consult with the last known authority on the superweapons, but they mysteriously disappeared in the 13th Century, Harry has to track them down in person. Turns out they were in Demonreach all along, due to Harry. That would be a very Harry story.
