I wonder if now as an official breaker of the accords, does than mean they are an enemy of both winter and summer? so harry could draw upon fairy back up to deal with them in the future.
Okay, I'd forgotten that Mab said that explicitly. Point conceded.
And what I'm saying is that Mab doesn't care if you shoot the ref. She's MAB, for crying out loud, her idea of rehab is attempting to assassinate Harry once a day. If the ref doesn't have the strength to take the bullet and give back as good as he got he has no business being a signatory.
I'm thinking that Small Favor was less of a violation because Accord members are expected to be capable of taking care of themselves. If you don't have the muscle to back up your claim as an Accord member, then you're screwed, period.
The thing to remember about the Accords is there is the Letter of the Law only...there is no Spirit of the Law in the Accords, which is why exact words are so importiant to the supernatural. Mab doesn't care what you do, as long as you follow the letter of the law in the Accords.
You break the LETTER of the law, and Mab puts you on her list of 'People to do Bad Things To'. In Small Favor Nic and Co didn't just 'violate the rules of a duel' he frigging KIDNAPPED the Neutral Party requested to supervise the conflict and resolve it! Then subjected said party to untold horrors and tortures. Yeah, Nic didn't just kick a little sand in Mab's eye with that stunt, he pretty much hurled a huge ball of mud at her and dared her to come after him.
So Mab took her sweet time to line up her revenge, she knows that Nicklehead corrupted by Nemesis invaded her Stronghold, with the help of her corrupted DAUGHTER, as far as she cares Nic could be part of the 'Team Nemesis' and even if she's not. Per the LETTER of the Accords he's the head of the Order ergo any crimes commited by the Corrupted Nickleheads are his crimes as well. So she's got that beef with him as well.
Nic got very well bloodied in Skin Game, he lost allot of his previous advantages. Mab most likely has sent word to the other Accords members that if Nic wasn't on the poison list before he is now! But as others have said...he's alive and still has some resources and the grail so he'll be back.
The one point to consider is that you can't use the Nic we've seen so far to predict how he will act in the future.
Consider that Nic now is in a much different place. His secret of how the noose can be used against him is out. Anduriel's power has been revealed, and with it, a way to counter one of Nic's biggest advantages. Nic's following has never seen him take it on the chin like that in their lives. Setbacks, yes, but not to that degree. Nic's standing among the supernatural set has taken a huge hit. He no longer has a favor he can call in from Mab. His two biggest Denarian supporters are either dead (Deirdre) or now bitterly opposed to him (Tessa). He has trespassed into the Vault of Hades and could conceivably be on Hades' list of People To Do Bad Things To.
Old Nic had his secrets intact, his followers (mortal and Denarian), his Marker with Mab, and his reputation. New Nic has none of that. He's going to be different now. How he is different, remains to be seen. He could become reckless, fearful, overly cautious, etc. It'll be interesting to see if/how Jim decides to shape Nic going forward.
I hadn't considered this before. You know the events of the end of Skin Game quickly spread amongst the fallen. They (Nic and Anduriel) must have lost some serious credibility.
