“You Know What He Was Meant To Be”

--- Quote from: Mira on February 28, 2023, 11:52:42 AM ---I don't think so, what I remember Harry saying is that Mort hid his power from the White Council because he didn't want to be a part of it. Elaine did the same thing, so it is possible to appear to be a lot weaker than one really is. So apparently short of a soul gaze there really isn't a way to gauge just how strong a talent a person has except by the magic one can do, which can be hidden. In the case of Mort, I believe Harry also said he had also thought Mort was a minor power until Ghost Story and he really saw him in action. That's when he made the remark that Mort had hidden his talent to stay out of White Council hands. I believe earlier Elaine remarked to him that she thought the Wardens were pretty easy to fool, she had done it for years.

Harry had thought him stronger at one time...in Grave Peril (p. 84, pb)
Harry says "I've read your books, Morty. Ghosts of Chicago.The Sppok Factor. Two or three others. You did good work there." and later "your powers wouldn't have faded like they have".
On the next page Mort says "I've lost my powers, remember?"
on p. 87 Harry says "If you give yourself a chance, the power will come back."
If Mort has put out at least 4 books, I am sure the WC is aware of him. Harry seems to think, from what he has read, and the WC should have read, that he knows what he is about. He may no longer have that kind of power, but he has had it, and might again.

Aware, but what does that mean? All that means is WC knows he exists, however because Mort is a master of hiding the strength of his talent, they ignore him.

But in truth, he hadn't, but at that point in time, why would he reveal it to Harry?
Conspiracy Theorist:
In White Night Helen Beckitt is working for Marcone, the are previous associates of Victor Sells, a Sorceror trained by Cowl to push Three Eye. Did Cowl push Helen to work for Marcone (Nameless himself will shortly be starting to work for Marcone) does Cowl know Marcone’s secret? It’s the one reason Marcone took her on. Harry himself only found out in Death Masks. Plot twist, what if Cowl/Nameless was ultimately responsible not only for the accidental creation of Harry by his abduction as an orphan/murder of Malcolm, but also the accidental creation of Marcone and the injury/near death to Amanda? What if Cowl is responsible for Amanda’s current condition? Something a Necromancer would be capable of.
“‘It is relevant,’ Lasciel said, ‘because of the circumstances of your birth – because of why you were born, Harry. Your mother found the strength to escape Lord Raith for a reason.’ Page 373 White Night Vitorrio is possessed by an Outsider, according to Lash,proof of whom Cowl is working with.
We know Helen will later try to betray Marcone.
What is Gard doing “on assignment” at this time? Recovering from making a hero bullet?
Helen anticipates and refuses a soul gaze page 240, would it reveal a connection with Cowl? She seems stuck in the moment of Amanda ‘death’
Vittorio was possessed by an Outsider demonstrating Cowl is definitely working with them.
‘It is relevant,’ Lasciel said, ‘because of the circumstances of your birth – because of why you were born, Harry. Your mother found the strength to escape Lord Raith for a reason’
‘There was a complex confluence of events, of energies, of circumstances that would have given a child born under them the potential to wield power over Outsiders.’ Page 373
After which, we were going to have a long talk about my mother and these Outsiders and their relation to the Black Court and exactly what the hell was going on. Page 374 how unHarry like.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Small Favor - what has Marcone done to warrant Titania wanting him dead? Building Sunset Hills?And why have the Denarians ‘rescued’ him from her?
But the Gruffs attack Harry BEFORE he is appointed Emissary. Did the attack force Mab to appoint Harry?
This would be about the time that Marcone hires on Nameless (according to The Law) subject of Winter, Nameless exiled from Court due to suspected involvement in the attack on Arctis Tor. It would create an imbalance between Summer and Winter and Nameless would know this. Was that the reason? Nameless/Cowl uses his connections with the Denarians to rescue/recruit Marcone? Having had Marcone previously thwart his scheme in White Night it’s to either kill of neutralise Marcone by having him subject to a Fallen Angel and because it is Baron Marcone by this point this draws the Archive in, Cowls true target because of the Oblivion War.

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on March 02, 2023, 08:41:45 PM ---White Night “of a man in his mid-thirties, tall and lean and wolfish.” Description of Cowl page 128
The Law ‘A tall, lean man sat behind a desk facing the door of the office. He wore a black suit that matched his coal-black hair, swept straight back from his face, and an emerald-green tie that matched his emerald-green eyes.”description of The Nameless Son, page 37.
--- End quote ---
No, reread that page again. It's a description of Vitto Malvora. We have no idea what Cowl looks like.
One major problem I have with Nameless being very important is he has only appeared in a novella, not in one of the case files. Many readers of the series will never read The Law or any of the short stories. I want to see Nameless play an important role in one of the novels before I'll consider that he may be a major player.
