    Quoted from Wikipedia.
    That seems to imply that he's either some kind of supernatural being, or became a "Born Again" supernatural being later in life, so to speak. Similar to how Changelings work.

    Anyway, I know this is just one of many interpretations, but the similarities between Malcolm and Harry's afterlife stuck with me.

    What I meant to imply is that the corpse could either signify his outer shell, or he could have "died" (Or rather, born again) and became the demonic visage Dresden saw, rather than just being empowered by Drakul. Wasn't disregarding what you were saying. lol

    Can't tell if you're actually getting butthurt over it though.

    Enjoying summer holidays, I see. People like you who think being a retard is somehow praiseworthy and anyone that reacts to it at all is 'butthurt' are a blemish on the human race.

    Just think you're taking one misinterpreted comment way too seriously. I'm not trolling or any stupid crap like that. If you just take a step back it does seem like something small to get mad over, hence, why I would consider it weird if it actually bothered you to that degree.

    /shrug.

    edit:

    I'm also kind of curious how I'm 'being a retard.' Apparently poorly wording one post is proof of mental deficiency these days.

    Using the word 'butthurt' to counter people disliking you being an idiot is what makes you a retard. And damn near anyone would agree that being deliberately misquoted in a way that completely distorts what you actually said is really fucking annoying.

    Actually, I didn't try to counter it with that, I actually first explained that I wasn't trying to misquote you intentionally, and therefor didn't realise why you would get mad over it. I'll admit, butthurt is a poor choice of word and I should have just used angry, as it can conjure up images of mouth breathing morons laughing at their own ability to act like a jackass, but I didn't think that would be such a big deal either.

    As I've tried to explain, it wasn't deliberate. Hell, why would I even want to? I don't see how it would benefit the discussion at all.

    Basically I'm saying I wasn't trying to be an ass hat for the sake of causing stupid squabbles over pointless crap. Truce?

    I took this to mean that he was real in some manner as opposed to simply being a figment of Harry's imagination (as he would have been were Harry simply dreaming normally). He didn't say "I'm not a ghost" or anything as specific as that unless I am remembering it wrong.

    Tehan covered this quite well.

    I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed via Butcher somehow that the corpse behind Kincaid was Mavra. She's Black Court (corpse, hello?) and she was probably present (even though the vampire they killed at the end probably wasn't her). She's also pretty kickass at magic, so my understanding has been that she was veiled and watching what was going on from a vantage point that allowed Harry to see her when he looked at Kincaid.

    I don't remember if that was confirmed by Butcher, if it was mentioned obliquely in another book, or what. But I know I didn't catch it on my original read through of the book.

    Yeah that's me, and I'd given the idea a bit more thought when I posted it on the JB forums, especially regarding Cassius' motivations and what he would be thinking at the time of his death.

    Hoping he'll say "I really love it when a fan figures something out." or something along those lines?

    edit: that would be so cool!

    It's a life's ambition of mine to have that happen from an author of one of my favourite series :p.

    If it is, so is mine--but I'm thinking that was Jon's post, not ours.
