[Jetspawn]

optimally there are 4 regional commanders but I got the impression that some died in the vampire ambush. Just sayin....

[franziska56]

Marcone is an Italian surname. I'd pronounce it Marcòne, with the final "e"  sounding like the initial "e" in "enemy". I'm Italian, by the way...

The Abstruse One

Number 10, the Swords don't really have owners as much as bearers, and Michael is retired, so I would rephrase this question as "Who was the last bearer/wielder of the only Sword of the Cross that has never been reforged?"

[KipIngram]

Let's see.  I'm re-reading the books, at a rapid clip, so a lot of stuff is fairly firmly in mind right now.  I didn't read this entire thread though, so my apologies if these are duplicates.

1) What items did Harry's mother leave to him?
2) What is Toot's full true name?
3) What's the name of Harry's landlady?
4) Where does Ebeneezer live?
5) Who are the "normal human" signatories to the Unseelie Accords?
6) What items has Toot used as his helmet?

I'll let it go at that for now.  Fun topic - we need "Trivial Pursuit - The Dresden Edition."

To provide some answers to go with them:

1) What items did Harry's mother leave to him?

(click to show/hide)

A pentacle Necklace and a Ruby (containing all her knowledge of Ways and how to travel them).

2) What is Toot's full true name?

(click to show/hide)

True name has not yet been revealled, but his current Title is Major General Toot-toot of the Sir Za Winter Lord Knight’s (Harry mentioned promoting him to full General, but I dont think it's been confirmed on stage yet)

3) What's the name of Harry's landlady?

(click to show/hide)

Mrs. Spunkel­crief

4) Where does Ebeneezer live?

(click to show/hide)

A farm in the Missouri part of the Ozarks

5) Who are the "normal human" signatories to the Unseelie Accords?

(click to show/hide)

The man commonly known as John Marcone (not his real name).  No others.

6) What items has Toot used as his helmet?

(click to show/hide)

Most recently hollowed out golf-ball, and before that I think it was a soda bottle cap.  I dont think he's worn one since Turn Coat, though.

[KipIngram]

I'm pretty sure Toot's name is reveled - I just read that in the last couple of days.  I don't remember what it was now, but I'll go on a hunting expedition.  But I could be wrong - maybe when I find that spot it will turn out to be more "clan oriented" or something.

Check back for more details...

Ok, I found it, but I don't know how to do that spoiler thing you did, so I don't want to type it.  It was in Turn Coat.  And on looking at it again, it may not really be his name, though it's phrased exactly the way you'd phrase a name.  Looks to be about 75% of the way through the book.

Well, damn, my ebook search completely failed me, it entirely misses that it's in there. I agree, it should certainly be a Name, and one of the ones that Harry has granted folks at that! 

RE Spoiler tags, it's the "radioactive" button, just highlight what you want in the spoiler, and it will add a

tag to the front and back, just like the quotes or bolding or what-have-you.  Or you can manually add "Spoiler" in square brackets to the front and "/Spoiler" in square brackets at the end.

Jim pronounces it "Mar-cone" but Marcone himself would almost certainly pronounce it "Marcony"

Since it's not his real name, he (Marcone) probably pronounces it however he likes.  Which is probably more like the American "Cap-own" rather than the Italian "Cap-own-ay".  Whichever sounds more "mobster".
