Nick's Goal in the Vault

I would say that we say a more aggressive Anduriel than in the previous two encounters. Desperation causes aggression.

As does constantly being thwarted by a pesky youngling of a Wizard.

A main plan, a back-up plan and an ace-in-the-hole plan, like Merlin.

Shhhhh. Lets not start down the Nic = Merlin after being reborn/redeemed etc rabbit hole.

Nic = Merlin = Cowl

Nic = Merlin = Cowl 

Now the Nic=Cowl thing was one path I had to go down after the whole Deidre thinking she's saving the world thing. Nic can after all use magic, he seems to choose to avoid it actively though.

I heard the Shhhhh, but have no fear I'd never go down that rabbit hole. I'm more inclined to go down hole with Nic=Malcolm after being reborn/redeemed.

That shows you how comitted he is to keep his persona separated.

Actually I thought the same thing about nic and cowl once when I saw both fly in similar manner. There may have been other similarities too.

I've also wondered if perhaps cowl is white court vampire.  He has kumori coming over to him in similar way that Justine goes to Thomas. It's like both cowl and Thomas have a similar control over their sidekick.

I don't recall Cowl flying.  When did that happen.

As to Cowl being a Wampire ... who?  It's not Thomas, or Lord Raith since they were both in the Deeps when Cowl was ... elsewhere though a gateway.  I don't believe it could be Madrigal, since he's dead now.

[raidem]

Cowl flew during White Knight in the Deeps I believe.

I was thinking Cowl was a time traveling Lord Raith, Kumori=Maggie Sr. or something like that at the time, but that is more complicated than necessary. We know that Cowl has extensive cuts on his arms, etc which doesn't really fit with a White Court vampire who we know can heal.

But, there is a parallel with how Justine anticipates Thomas then 'glides' over to Thomas, and Kumori and Cowl. That said, I'm sure the white court doesn't have a monopoly on said anticipation, mental commands, and silent walking over to master, etc.  Nor is there a faction that has a monopoly on flight.

[jonas]

Cowl never left his portal, He manifested a fiery birdlike creature that flew.

[raidem]

I thought he jumped atop it, going after Harry.

[jonas]

I thought he jumped atop it, going after Harry.

I.... don't think so? Otherwise he'd have been inside the deeps with the bomb right? He sent the closing to Harry's portal then zipped up his own I believe.

[raidem]

I don't think a mere bomb would have killed him. I still remember him on the pteradactylish bird flying either after Harry or to save what's his name.

[wardenferry419]

I think I may have to disagree about the flying fire-dino. I don't think that Cowl left the safety of the space-rip.
