Carlos and Chandler's mentors

(1/7) > >>

Tinfoil hat:
Been thinking given their rapid rise in rank and the fact that they seem to be trusted by the Establishment. Who are Carlos and Chandler's mentors.
Is there any Woj about them?
Cause i think there is so much there!.

Chandler is a wizard Luccio trusts above most. Carlos is Carlos and holds any important position at a young age.

EBRIEN:
Not sure about WoJ. My gut still says Chandler is a bad guy and that Drakul didn't send him to a bad place. I mean, really. Why waste a wizard level talent by sending them to nothingness when you could turn him into a Blampire?

I bet if we actually find out who his mentor was, it'll track back to someone who will be revealed to be black council.

I don't think Chandler was all that young, or that we know he had any "rapid rise in rank."  I got much more of a sense that he was long-established as a warden (and rather older than Dresden), by the time we first meet him.  Of course, this would just put him into the "50-250" range of wizardly "almost unaging," so we can't really be at all sure.

I think it might be interesting to know the mentorship of many of the WC wizards, in general (and the Senior Council in particular (I speculate (based on not very much of anything) that Langtry & McCoy may have had the same master)).

Other than:
 - DuMorne with Harry & Elaine
 - McCoy with Maggie & Harry
 - Dresden himself with Molly
 - I don't think there's a named "master" but Carlos was IIRC a brown-robe in an early DF novel
I don't recall any master/prentice relationships that have been specified in the canonical stories...?

IIRC there is some WoJ that Chandler's magical specialty is something with info/divination/etc: he's a magical "intelligence analyst" for the Wardens, rather than a combat heavy-hitter as most field operatives that we see.

I think it was Summer knights. He laughed at Harry's bad latin ( stupid correspondence lessons)

  I don't think Chandler is that much older than Harry, but I agree he is older, perhaps fifty to seventy.  I do think though that he has been a Warden a lot longer than either Harry or Carlos.

Odd, I feel the opposite, I predict that in Mirror Mirror Harry will rescue and return with him and the White Council won't trust him because of it. Thus Chandler will also be kicked not only out of the Wardens but the White Council as well.  This will allow him to join Harry and fill the role left vacant by the retirement of Michael, imprisonment of Thomas, and rejection of friendship by Carlos.
