Tak, there are actually four Regional Commanders in the US, though we only know the names of two.  From Dead Beat:

She nodded again, more sharply. "Then I'm conscripting you into the Wardens as a regional commander."

I blinked.

"You'll be in charge of security and operations in this region, and coordinate with the other three American regional commanders."

14.   Harry, Bob, and Murphy (Mister was not in the short story from My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding)

You rock!
Thanks!

[Priscellie]

These are excellent questions!  Thanks so much for posting them.

As for the Mavra question, however, I don't think she's necessarily the leader of the Black Court.  She's a very powerful member, but I don't think she's whatever passes for their Queen.

Question - I was re-reading DB and came across this (p392 (?) hardback) from when Morgan gives Harry his first check.  Morgan says:

But you may be required to participate in missions from time to time, and I will expect you to work with the other regional commander in America.  He operates out of Los Angeles.

This seems to imply that they're down to Harry and one other (Carlos).  As I thought about this, it occurred to me that when Harry first became a Warden, Morgan was one of the 4.  Then when Morgan took over the role of leading the wardens (due to Luccio's injuries), he was no longer a regional commander?  I also thought that in the battles, another one got killed.  But I skimmed back through DB and searched PG, and I can't find anything to back up either of these recollections specifically.

Are there other references to the regional commanders?  I don't have White Night, so I can't look there.
