The Erl King a Vassal of Winter?
SerScot:
When did that happen. In Dead Beat he was “Wild Fae”. Did something change or did Mr. Butcher change his mind?

No, I think I could be wrong, but Fae like Toot began as a "Wild Fae" as well but pledged his allegiance to Winter after Harry became Winter Knight. It could be that the Erl King started out the same way and as he grew also made a choice and became a vassal of Winter, but that's a guess.

But the discussion explicitly states that the Erl King is on par with the queens of Faerie… that he’s a peer of Mab. If he randomly joined Winter between Dead Beat and Battle Ground that would be a huge shift in Winter’s favor… it is an unbalancing of forces. That doesn’t make sense.

The Erlking is of Summer.
He's only a 'peer' of Mab/Titania in a legalistic sense, that is, he's a sort of 'King of Summer'. His raw power is far less than either Queen. I don't know how he would stack up against the Winter/Summer Lady.

So far he seems to play a minor role.. I remember him vaguely, if he is a sort of "King of Summer," then you'd think he'd have had more of a role than the Lady or even the Knight in Harry's adventures, but he doesn't, not on page anyway... That isn't to say he won't in the future. In my opinion he is more of an independent and has his own agenda.
