The White Council is kind of a Joke.
The_Sibelis:
🤔 I thought the island has sat dormant since kemmler was the warden? I remember woj they were trying to kill him the last time before he could make it back to the island, presumably to do a darkhallow I think. I'd think Justin would be the obvious choice if there'd been one in-between tho. Then they'd have pretty good reason to fear the 3rd in line warden.

He was obviously working to a particular end and may have been feeling out who was the secret Warden on the Senior Council, only making his move when he was sure. Unfortunately before he could get to the island, Harry had assumed the link blocking any attempt by Peabody to assume it himself. When he arrived with Maeve (via a Never Never link in Winter) he may have hurriedly tried the ritual only to almost immediately be blocked. That is a motive for Peabody both arranging the death of Fortier and in going to the island.
This why Jim won’t reveal the identity of the previous Warden, it is someone we have met and is therefore significant to the narrative, but is dead by the events of Turn Coat. Of the Wizards we have met who have died that is just DuMorne and Fortier, and the timing is much better for Fortier.

That's an intriguing theory. At a guess, all of the SC wizards would be capable of performing the ritual. We know nothing at all, that I recall, about LaFortier's magical talents or strengths (other than "strong enough to get a SC seat"); nor his personality or preferences. Would he want to be The Warden? Would he even be willing? We dunno.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Senior Council wanted someone strong enough to master Demonreach in the ritual, but with no real interest in being Warden, not after Kemmler Fortier would have been a perfect absentee warden.

Interesting, it would mean it is possible for Christos to NOT be black council… the default assumption being that Fortier was killed to free his spot for the black…
Obviously it could be two birds and they wanted both. But interesting theory… I like it.

AFAIK, we have almost no info about him.
Nothing to judge "no real interest in being Warden," yea or nay.
