The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Who is Thomas talking to?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Actually necromancy isn’t just raising zombies, it includes raising and manipulating shades.
When Donald Morgan went to harass Harry, he would always make a side trip to harass Mort because Ectomancy was considered too close to Necromancy. The big difference, the former works with the dead consensually, the latter against their free will. Mort was quite right to distressed by what Harry did with the Lecters, and that was out of Harry’s ignorance. That’s the third instance of Harry’ necromancy, and third time is the charm.

Yet they never nailed Mort did they?
Conspiracy Theorist:
For a long time Mort let his talent dwindle, and that was exactly what the White Council wanted. A powerful probably wizard level practitioner with an unfortunate talent for a field they despised. They didn’t want him inside and barely tolerated him outside unless he dwindled and cheapened himself.
After Dead Beat Harry was the local Warden, and far more of a Necromancer than Mort, so Mort learnt to stand up for himself and was given the space for his talent to flourish. In Ghost Story we see the final form of Mort as in Skin Game we see the final form of Butters. Mort stood up to in will and power Corpsetaker, in a way which would make most White Council members crap themselves. He has proven himself better than the White Council thto the two people who matter, Harry and himself. He has the respect of himself AND the local monster.
Professionally Harry respects Mort these days.

I think as long as Mort TALKED, rather than controlled, he was OK. They watched him just in case. Sue was OK as she was not human. Like Harry can toast a vampire, but not a human.

Indeed, same is true of Harry, and Bianca opened the door, in desperation he called to her victims
as she was trying to kill him. He asked them to remember, they did and did the rest.
