I was recently thinking about what characters have been acting strangely, and Carlos came to mind. Throughout PT and BG, he was suspicious and argumentative toward Harry. Is it understandable why he was angry and frustrated? Yes, however, does it fit his character? I'm not sure. We know that Nemesis lost a high-level assent in the Council during TC (Peabody) and that Carlos is a rising star among the Council (both in the Warden faction and in the younger generation). Due to Carlos's increasing popularity, it makes sense why Nemesis would want him. Nemesis then used Carlos to push Harry away from him and the Council as a whole, making him more isolated and easier to kill or manipulate.

What if to create a Starborn part of the process (or the whole process) is that an Outsider (or part of an Outsider) needs to be joined with a human host/embryo. It makes sense that Starborn can hurt Outsiders more easily if they themselves were part Outsider. Sort of like what makes them strong also makes them weak. If this is true, then it makes sense why people like Morgan were against Harry. Because no one likes Outsiders and being even part Outsider could be seen as a very bad thing to some people. It also makes sense why LTW needs to talk with a lot of people before telling Harry because he needs to understand how/what to tell Harry. Because just telling him (or anyone else), "Hey Harry, you are part Outsider. You know the race of being that no one likes. Well, you are kinda one of them because your Mom and others want to use you for the greater good." Harry would not respond well to that. (Yes, LTW doesn't talk like that, but that's the gist of the conversation). One thing I'm unsure about is how 40,000 kids could be part Outsider. I could understand a few because someone summons the Outsider and then bonds the child embryo to it but having that many seem unlikely. Maybe at certain times, the Outsiders can cross the border of their own accord and choose their own hosts. And there are so few Starborn left because some people hunt Starborn (or Outsider hosts) because of the fear and lack of understanding of what Starborn are or what they have the potential to become.

During a recent re-read of GP, it struck me as odd that Ferrovax in at Bianca's party. Ferrovax is a god level being with great power and authority. So why was he invited to and accept an invitation to a medium (or low) powered member of the Red Court? From my POV, the only reason why Ferrovax was at the party was so Harry could meet him. Was this just a plot point that Jim planned out 10+ books in advance, or did Jim just want a dragon in his books? Any other ideas yall have?

This is the curse that Nicodemus tried to kill Harry with in Death Masks, but Shiro took Harry's place. From my understanding, this curse is a more advanced and deadly version of an entropy curse (a curse that kills by coincidence). Nicodemus is able to cast this curse once a year (maybe refreshing around Easter, the anniversary of Barabbas's freedom, and Jesus's condemnation?) as long as he possesses the nose. Since Harry is obviously a thorn in Nicodemus's side, why hasn't he tried to use the curse on Harry again?

My only guess is that the curse can only be targeted at someone once, meaning that Harry is protected from the curse. However, those around Harry are still vulnerable. Who recently annoyed Nicodemus and whose death would cause Harry a lot of pain? Murphy. I think Nicodemus sent the Barrabus curse to kill Murphy, and the curse used Rudolph's poor trigger discipline as a weapon. When Harry finds this out, he will go berserk and hunt Nicodemus down.
