Watcher = author ? lovecraft was the first one to write about alien deities from outside our reality who had to work through mortal worshippers. Plus normal men (remember wizards are just men who have access to the forces of the universe) couldn't do much against these beings from outside our reality.. I prolly am over stretching but.... I do like to play with this theory. What if lovecraft/ mac was their first worshipper and chose to turn away from them when he realized what he'd brought in? Could make him long lived. There is a long history in the Dresden verse of classic authors knowing waaaaaaay more than mortals. Just thinking mac does have an awful.... Chummy...

Identity. (see what I did there 
). He is either the first wizard who let the Outsiders in. Or he is Lovecraft himself. He choose to abandon the Outsiders. Sharkface even says he made his choice. And Sharky sees him as empty. Empty of the Outsiders grace. Remember for Sharky the Outsider gods are the one true dieties. What do you think?

I view the books a little differently from the destiny/fate/chosen one trope. Yes Harry is Starborn, but he has to choose his path. To me that is what everything boils down to. Harry chooses to fight the urges of the Winter mantle. He chooses to not take advantage of Sarissa. He chooses to not kill Maeve. Conversely Karrin chooses to. Karrin chooses to misuse the sword and break it. Waldo chooses to overcome his fear and take it up. Charity chooses to forsake her power. Even the "Fists of God" aren't really the enforcers of God. They are the enforcers of choice for the coin holders. Nicodemus chooses to sacrifice DeeDee just like I believe he chose to sacrifice Jesus for the coins. (I believe he is Judas). Why does Mac have to be any different? People, humans have to choose to let Outsiders into our reality right? Sure they can batter the gates, but to really get in doesn't someone have to choose it? When Maeve oh lovely Maeve gained the power to lie didn't she have to choose it? If we look at it that way it kind of leaves me with two choices for Mac's real
