Unsolved Mystery Book5 Nico knows Maggie

[wardenferry419]

How well did Nico know Maggie Sr?

[RobReece]

probably not as well as papa Raith.

Hmm. Did I ever mention my Nicodemus gets a redeemed and has a 2nd chance at life (reincarnation, soul put in another body) and takes the form of Malcolm Dresden.

So first, we have bad Nicodemus who respected Maggie Sr. taking aggressive steps to do what she thought was needed, etc.
Then we get Nic in the end gaining "sainthood".
Archangel balances out a "cheat" and is allowed to send his soul back in time, into a new body.
Malcolm Dresden meets Maggie Sr.

I know it doesn't answer your question but it touches upon my theory. So, there...
Oh, and I'm going blind seeing all these topics.

Sorry about all the topics. I was playing in the Unsolved Mysteries thread and got carried away. That thread leads to madness. I was of the opinion that Nico might be a co-conspirator along with Raith, Arianna, and Maggie back in the day. She seem to like the really, really older crowd.

This is what I think.  I think he was at that dinner that Arianna and Pappa Raith were present for.  I think this is where he learns about a starborn and what it means.  His later investigations bring him knowledge about Hade's vault and everything after that is moving him toward the vault.

I would say that Marcone has a greater animosity towards Nico than Harry does.

I can see why.  After all Nick was involved in John's abduction.

I've never understood Harry's animosity toward him from the very beginning.

The Nickelheads murdered Francisca Garcia in front of him. Harry has particularly strong reactions to anyone who hurts women.

Then there's Nic's actual introduction, where he's scary competent, and speaks like a dead-eyed sociopath. And makes out with his daughter, which grosses him out. Harry's terrified of Nic from the get-go, and he's pissed off.

[Rasins]

Sorry Kindler.  I meant Harry's hatred of Marcone.

[Avernite]

Sorry Kindler.  I meant Harry's hatred of Marcone.

Marcone leads a more violent version of the Chicago government.

[Rasins]

Marcone leads a more violent version of the Chicago government.

Yeah, but Harry seems to take it so personally.  I can understand his animosity toward the Nickelheads.  He's witnessed their atrocities.

But as of Storm Front, why?

[Talby16]

Maybe we are to take it as a sign of his character that he hates corruption so much?

[wardenferry419]

Well, Nico had Shiro tortured and killed. Harry liked and respected Shiro. Shiro took Harry's place as the sacrifice for the shroud corruption.

[forumghost]

When Marcone met Harry he was trying to threaten him into letting a Warlock run loose for the sake of his rep.

[wardenferry419]

Marcone represents authority. Harry has a natural tendency to give authority the finger. He probably gets it from his mom.
