Conspiracy Theorist:
Rudy is Nameless hireling, his goon, his stooge.

"Rudy is Nameless' hireling, his goon, his stooge."
'Rudy is Nameless^ That Apostrophe is important.  In your original post you used the apostrophe for Marcone's but not for Nameless' and the lack of an added "s" when converting Nameless to possessive form makes it harder to infer the possessive (Marcones can be inferred to be possessive because plural doesn't make sense in context, but Nameless doesn't enjoy the same logic).  I got there in the end, but was quite confused for a while. :)

Conspiracy Theorist:
You know the spell Harry used on Carlos cloak? Harry really needs to use it on Rudy’s pornstache during his disciplinary hearing.

What will be interesting is how others react to events from Battle Ground.

Is Bradley going to get the whole story, and if so... well Murphy and Dresden did save his kid, and Rudolph murdered Karrin in exchange for it. How will he handle that? 
Kincaid and Murphy aren't an item anymore, but I suspect he's still got some fondness for her.
Rawlins, if he survived, seems he might have some strong feelings towards Rudolph.
The Alphas were ready to jump Rudolph and Bradley when they were just going to arrest Harry.  What are they going to do to Rudolph for killing their friend?
Legal consequences for Rudolph are the least of his concerns.

For that matter, I suspect that if Harry would have just shot Rudolph,  the sword wouldn't have done anything to him.  Using magic and The Mantle of the Winter Knight made it a different matter.  I could be wrong on that, but it fits.  Angels can interfere with supernatural threats, but not vanilla mortal technology.

I don't think the Swords are bound like that.  The Denarians are in the coins to get away from exactly that rule, you can't use angelic power to breach free will, and the swords have angels in them to counteract the fallen in the coins.  So I believe the angels in the swords are able to use the wielder's free will to affect the world with their power just as the Denarians can. I think the Angels generally don't because they are Angels... but I think for Harry they would make an exception and stop him from making a mistake that he couldn't live with.
