Until recently? In Hades vault.

Isn't one of the major dangers to the White Council the possibility that a wizard would be turned and then the Vampire Wizard would be able to open the doors to an outsider?

Nope.

Quote from: Dead Beat

"I thought only mortal magic could call up Outsiders," I said quietly.

Luccio said quietly, "You are correct."

It's what had everyone's cage rattled about it in-story- the Outsider Presence proved the Red's had Human Wizards in the Roster.

I thought it was the 'Bat' Trilogy, and Harry was going to spend three books stuck in Gotham City. Harry would have to struggle between his Geek Fanboyism of being in a Comic Universe, and his Geek Fanrage of knowing that it was DC and not Marvel

Lea might have it, as a keepsake from her time slaying and killing.

Now I'm imagining Lea as one of those bragging parents with a trophy-shelf of all her Kid's Awards:

"This is from the time my 'ickle Godson blew up a Walker with a Gas Station. And this is from the time he burned his Master alive in a duel. This one is from when he burned a mansion full of Vampires to the ground..."  ;D

Speaking of Magic Knives, what ever happened to that one that Dresden used at Chicken Pizza?

We know that being used in powerful rituals and such can cause Athame to gain power of their own, and the Red Court's bloodline ritual was quite a thing.

Very well then: In Skin Game, Harry says that the Knife he takes from the Altar has a Brass hilt:

"And the Brass hilt of the knife clicked against the aluminum splint still on my left arm"

Medea's Bodkin on the other hand?

"I bent to take it up and found an ancient, ancient knife with a simple leaf-blade design, set into a wooden handle and wrapped with cord and leather. It was, I thought, made of bronze."

So unless someone changed the handle, they're different knives.

Unless you can give me some proof that only a single knife with a leaf-shaped blade exists in the Dresdenverse, I'm going to assume for now that they're different.

Because like Eldest said, there is no way in hell Harry wouldn't stop to have an Angst-fest over a Knife that he used to commit a cold-blooded ritualistic murder showing up.

Why don't you go look beforehand you make this argument... The knife has purpose, if mab truly needed it it was hers.... It's a mortal weapon though, not for mabs usage anyways.

Why don't you provide some evidence that they're the same knife then?

I'm sure Harry would prefer no one discuss his knob or lack thereof   ;D

Harry is a self-admitted follower of the Tao of Terry Pratchett, he knows the score.

The blade was the same as was used to kill Lloyd slate if you look. Also Woj is it's specifically medea's bodkin, her atheme, not saying that keeps it from being the lance head. I mention it because if it's good vs outsiders might not another Jason's era item show itself on the other side of the equation
(click to show/hide)

Why would Hades' vault have a Knife that we know Mab has in it? Do you really think that Mab would give up an item of that level of Power?

Im still hoping he mounts in on his Wizard's staff, to get a cool magic spear like Odin

A Wizard's staff is supposed to have a Knob on the end, not a Knife.

Oh, I have no doubt that Odin can lie. He's famous for being a trickster and a manipulator. One of his Names is "Oathbreaker".

But Kringle =/= Odin. Kringle is a Fae, and has to obey Fae rules. I also suspect that as Kringle he's vulnerable to Iron, but as Odin he isn't.

I'm not saying that you think everyone is lying to Harry. I'm saying that whenever someone provides something from the text that runs counter to whatever theory you're arguing for, your default response it "that isn't evidence that I'm wrong, it just proves that that character is lying/Harry is misinterpreting that/Jim is tricking us/whatever".

Which is especially ridiculous when the character in question (Kringle) is a Fae, and therefore physically incapable of lying.

Quite frankly it makes it near impossible to have any sort of reasonable discussion with you because you fit the evidence to your conclusion, rather then drawing a conclusion from the evidence.

Even so. Kringle is a trickster deity in disguise, remember ?

Ah, so we're back to your favourite pose of 'everyone is lying to Harry any time something happens that contradicts my theory'. Good to know.

See, I read that as never bending to care what anyone else thinks.

Even though the context of the scene is Kringle warning she'd have killed Harry if anyone had seen him challenge her? And it was a warning that he should never challenge her pride?
