Murphy
RobReece:
It's a nice theory, but I don't think Drakul would be sending Chandler anywhere that he couldn't retrieve him from.
Mira:
That maybe true, but what if Harry gets there in time to prevent Drakul from getting Chandler?

I think that ship has sailed, at least from the Prime!verse.
The battle is over, Drakul&co departed with Chandler (and any other wizards they captured), Harry did other stuff than rescue him.
Chandler may still be alive in the Alt!verse, of course... Likely enough, the big assault by Ethniu never happened.

No, Drakul didn't depart with Chandler! He disappeared Chandler, but he didn't leave with him. That leaves a lot of room for speculation as to what happened to Chandler.

I'm taking a "wait and see" approach to the Murphy question.
Yes, she was taken as an einherjar... for now. But "valkyrie" and Murphy have been linked multiple times in this saga: it was her callsign in Ghost Story, Dresden refers to her as a valkyrie in his mental narration, and it certainly looked like Gard was trying to recruit her...
I don't think we'll get the answer anytime soon-- probably much closer to the final trilogy, if not during it. But there's been much more foundation laid for the valkyrie idea than there was for Butters getting a lightsaber, and we know how that worked out. ;D
It won't disappoint me if Murphy stays an einherjar, but if she shows up as a valkyrie I won't be too surprised either. >shrug< It's up to Jim, and he's not gonna tell us... ;D ;D ;D
Uriel respects and protects free will, so as long as Murphy had her fair choice of afterlives, I doubt he'd object. He doesn't exactly have much room to throw stones since he's got Carmichael and Papa Murphy working for him in some sort of Purgatory-precinct space. As long as Uriel and Odin are working toward the same goals (protecting reality), there isn't any reason for conflict, in my humble opinion.
I do expect Chandler will show up again at some point, but I'm not sure what condition he'll be in. Probably in rough shape, which is a shame, I liked him.
