The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Black Council & BG
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Black Council is I think largely Cowl, and his allies, agents and cats paws.
vincentric:
It's all a Nemesis plot.
One of the main points of PT/BG was the desire by Nemesis to hasten the Apocalypse. Go back and reread the conversation between Harry and Justine. It explains Thomas's attack on Etri and how the whole Ethniu/Formor attack on Chicago was a diversion for another attack on Demonreach. Basically, Nemesis monologues to Harry that it has been behind almost everything he's encountered and that it is the overarching villain of the piece.
Yes, there are individuals such as Cowl, Nic and Drakul running about. But almost all the other foes that Dresden has faced have been pieces in the game Nemesis is playing against the protectors of reality in this universe and even they are not entirely clear of his influence.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Outsiders abhor creation and especially humans, they desire complete destruction. Everyone else wants a new creation along their own lines, but they are all quite happy to see the end of humanity.
Cowl quite clearly has the ear of the Outsiders (or some other equivalent sensory appendage, I hope, rather than some other sort of appendage), and as such is their man in creation, but he is likely playing his own game, Nick is Lucifers guy, Drakul’s his own guy, Harry is Uriel’s guy.

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. I'd forgotten about that conversation.
I think it might have been cleaner to keep them separate...
Conspiracy Theorist:
From Nemesis point of view, yes BUT Nemesis only came into the files in Grave Peril in the Athame, it didn’t train the sorcerers or give out Wolfskin belts.
It’s aim is certainly to tear apart the Accords and turn the supernatural on Humanity to weaken the defence of the Gates and allow the outsiders untrammelled access, it is working with others who may have their own agenda, Cowl/Nameless chief amongst them. Nameless may have been working with Nemesis for centuries he is one of the 10 diseases of Loviator and Nemesis is most often described as an infection.
