Did it seem to anyone else that Mab was about to refer to Ebenezar as brother? "br..." before he cut her off.
Is that a possibility? It would definitely provide a base for Margaret's entanglement with the Winter Fae.

If that's the case, we gotta find out how Molly fits in the family tree. One big family business, is Faeryland.

No, I don't think that's what was happening. Further along in that chapter, she continues and tells Ebenezar to "brief him on the plan" with regards to Harry. I think that's what she was about to say and just got interrupted.

If wizards only live for ~500 years, and Mab was old at Hastings, no.
Remember the starborn are having to 'hang on' to still be around at ~700.

If wizards have a roughly 500 year lifespan, they could not unreasonably have kids with a huge age difference. Like hundreds of years.

They could have a shared fairy parent and be half siblings.

I always thought there was some family history with winter.

It started out a wizard could live 300 years or so, or was it 200-300. Now we're talking about 500 with a starborn at 700. Next will see Starborns being near immortal.
On an aside - Didn't the Fomor King [can't remember name] say he remembered when Merlin threw out Mab? That would be some 1,400 years ago. I think Eb was previously the Winter Knight and that's how he swindled Mother Winter's cane. The reason Eb is so freaked that Harry is now the Winter Knight too. Eb has a HUGE debt to pay and he knows Winter will collect it.

Ancient Mai is 400+. They call her Ancient. She's the exception. Rashid is really old. But that almost certainly has to do with Nevernever time shenanigans. There's no evidences that starborn hang on for 700 years other than theories about Rashid's age and that he's a starborn.
Jim has implied that the Blackstaff came into the councils possession well before Eb's time. He's been kind of vague on it.
