Doesn't seen to say he's a scion. Says a man. Could Eb have soulgazed him, to check him out for his daughter?
I wonder if when he went to Judgement, if a comment could have been made about what a good man he had been, and due a reward... and he asked the boon of being able to watch over the son he left orphaned. From the way they speak of him, the like of he and Forthill and Michael will not fear Judgement. I think Michael said something on those lines in Skin Game
Mira:
Eb did soul gaze Malcolm, in Blood Rite he told Harry that he was the finest or best soul he'd ever seen. With plain old vanilla mortals that is just a saying, but Eb is a wizard so it takes on a different meaning. If Malcolm was a scion of something else, Eb would know.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Eb hasn’t Soul-gazed Michael, Father Forthill or other Knights, who are exemplars of the human condition, most likely other wizards who generally are not.
Eb has probably soul-gazed Listens to the Wind though, which would set a high standard for Malcolm. He soul-gazed Harry, so telling Harry that Malcolm was the best is an unintentional dig at Harry. Bad Eb.

Why? It's no dig at Harry to tell him his father was a good man. I imagine over his couple or more centuries of life, Eb has soul gazed a lot of souls, it is no dig at Harry to tell him his father ranks at the top. Besides Eb isn't going to tell Harry everything he knows about him from their soul gaze, remember he managed to hide the fact that he was Harry's grandfather.
Conspiracy Theorist:
He didn’t even try the weak pretence of “present company excepted”. Wizard’s have terrible social skills, it’s not just Harry.
Eb hadn’t ever met Harry other than in his capacity of his Master/mentor, nothing really to hide, and that is Eb’s fault due to his theory of childraising. They had no other connection. Bad Eb.
He really only started his grandfatherly relationship with Harry after the soulgaze, probably when he realised he wouldn’t have to execute him.
I suspect during Next Book the existence of Maggie becomes widely known amongst the Supernatural community, and Harry basically says:-
“Come for me, not my daughter if you have a beef with me.”
“The Red Court went for my daughter, kidnapped and brutalised her. I rendered them extinct. All of them.”
“Nicodemus Archelone threatened my daughter, I gave him the very worst day in his very long life, and I haven’t finished with him yet and I WILL kill him, because I can.”
“The Titan tried to kill my daughter. Ask her how that worked out. If you can find her. Please try to find her.”
“Mortal or immortal, threaten my daughter and it’s the last thing you will ever do.”
His views on the subject are diametrically opposed to Eb’s, so no wonder it didn’t come out in the soulgaze.
