Humans or non-humans?  If the latter probably Wizard McCoy (in "Changes"--200 at a pop.)

One for each- should have specified

[SE945809]

That would be difficult to tell,

things like the giant gravity spell and the bloodline curse will throw off any attempt at providing an exact number

.

Just the ones we've specifically seen or have been told about.  There's bound to be an asterisk at some point with all the action in the series so I was curious if anyone had a rough guesstimate.

[knnn]

It really depends how you count it:

Storm Front:
Kalshazzak:  Is he considered '1' or '0' (Harry "took him out", but he didn't actually die).
Scorpion:  It's a construct, so never really alive, but maybe counts?
Victor Sells:  Technically, Kalshazzak got him, not Harry.

Total 0 (0-3)

Fool Moon:
McFinn: 1
FBI agents: 0?  Technically they killed each other, with Murphy picking up the spare.
Street gang: 0? 

Total 1 (1-3)

...I submit that it just gets more complicated from there.

[TheCuriousFan]

Good point.  But McCoy's been wizarding since 1812 at least, and has had considerably longer to amass his body-count, and as the Blackstaff a freer hand in doing so.

If we're talking about who has the highest bodycount outside of Harry I'd like to nominate Tessa for the Black Death and IIRC the Rwandan genocide (among other things).

[Griffyn612]

For that matter, Nicodemus has been around longer than Tessa, and he's tried to go the plague route at least once in modern times.  Who knows how many he was involved in.

And can we discount any of the Vamps?  I mean, the Red King has to have a massively impressive kill-count.  Think of all the sacrifices over the years, and he suffers from an abnormal bloodlust as well?  That guy has to be up there in individual/commanded kills.

Individual kills is probably Ebeneezer, but we don't know how long Kincaid has been around, do we?  If he's been around a couple hundred years, he's going to have some impressive numbers.  Maybe not on Eb's level, thanks to some of Eb's bigger hits, but personal kills?  Maybe near the top.  Along with Mavra.

[Rasins]

And when we are talking about body counts, are we talking about human, human and human like, or are we talking about sentient?

Don't forget that no matter what upstart being might be trying to up their numbers, I'd think the Queen of Air and Darkness, the Winter Queen would have taken out more folks from freezing related deaths than anyone.

[Shinihime]

Harry ate a ghost once.  Kravos.
Harry also died twice.
Bob is harder on his books than Harry is on his.
When Harry broke his word, The Leanansidhe got power over him.

Kemmler's gotta be in there with WWI to his credit...

How do you pronounce Marcone?

[Rasins]

How do you pronounce Marcone?

I used to think it was "Mar-cone", but listening to the audio books it seems it's actually "Mar-coney".

[Stitch]

It is pronounced Mar-cone according to Jim. James Marsters pronounced it wrong for the first few audiobooks.

The Abstruse One

Great questions!

[dcinti]

It is pronounced Mar-cone according to Jim. James Marsters pronounced it wrong for the first few audiobooks.

Add the Italian accent and it sounds right! At least when I read about him, I am thinking Italian nationality.

[Shecky]

Italian-American is a whole 'nother thing.

True enough.
