How do you define "nuke"? Maybe he could, but there are other things to consider, like the Accords.
So he wouldn't want to draw attention doing it. I like the idea of hiring Mr Grey, or heck, Kincaid for that matter, a bullet from a sniper rifle would be effective. Or one would think, just how old is Lord Raith anyway? One doesn't get to live that long, even a vamp, without learning a thing or two about survival.
A massive display of destructive power. Like hurling an asteroid at a target, or erupting the ground beneath them etc. Very much in Eb's wheelhouse. Yeah see, the White Court actually broke the Accords by killing Maggie...not to mention, would Eb be really worried about Mab at that point? He hasn't shown the most level head when he's upset. He also could do it in less obvious ways I'd imagine.
Can't use Kincaid given the history between him and McCoy. Can't really use Grey because he didn't much like Margaret. But someone of that level would be appropriate.
Well that's true about Raith, but the White Court's biggest defence is being everyone's friend, and never being tied to anything. The less overt they are, the better. Maybe Raith really was that well protected. Maybe the White Council told Eb not to and made him listen. Or maybe...Eb isn't on the level. He definitely has some weird history with Lara. Hell, he could have dated her considering her age.
Lara is of a similar age as Luccio, isn't she? Papa Raith is likely as old or older than Eb.
A sniper rifle isn't going to kill a whampire like it would a wizard, so that's out. For a satellite drop, Eb would need to know that Papa Raith was actually underneath the blast zone. I'd guess that tracking spells wash off him just as much as regular evocation magic. It's probably not a good idea to go after the White King unless you can be sure you get him in one attack. Otherwise, you're on the top of his priority list.
Oh no, Lara is older than Luccio. Papa Raith is far, far older. He quite possibly predates the building of Rome. I believe there's a quote about him having 2000 years of paranoia built up.
Why wouldn't a sniper rifle work? Especially with the right bullet? White Court can heal...if they don't suffer catastrophic damage to their structure. I'd say a sniper rifle bullet to the head would do the trick.
As for knowing where Raith is, that's required for some magic, sure. But not all. There's such a thing as sympathetic magic and thaumaturgy. Well, Lord Raith can't avoid magic entirely because Eb got three attempts in (if you go by Ebenezar's word). Even without that it's really just a planning issue, which comes down to intel gathering. I don't doubt Eb could do that well enough.
And yet, Eb supposedly took three hits at the White King to no reprisals. Very fishy. Either the White's were scared of him, or he didn't try very hard/at all.
