Dresden Files Puzzles.

Been rererereading the Dresden Files, and have been thinking about a few of the mysteries. I think I've solved one: McAnally.

The publican, being described as "He is a tall, gangly man with a shaved head. He wears black pants, a white shirt, and a white apron that is always spotless". The Outsider also calls him a watcher. And he's respected by pretty much everyone. And can take a bullet to the stomach with no issue.

Mac "Isn't a Greek god, nor a scion of the gods, and we won't see much of him until the big trilogy at the end.

So he's white, he's not a Greek god, and he's involved in the apocalypse.

He's Heimdallr!

Heimdallr is described as the whitest of gods, and the herald of Ragnarok, the apocalypse.
From Poetic Edda:

Himinbiörg is the eighth, where Heimdall,it is said, rules o'er the holy fanes:
there the gods' watchman, in his tranquil home,
drinks joyful the good mead.[SUP][/SUP]

Loki tells Heimdallr to be silent, that he was fated a "hateful life", that Heimdallr must always have a muddy back, and that he must serve as watchman of the gods.

It all fits, Mac is fated to watch until the apocalypse, which we know is coming in the final trilogy of the series.

I'll flesh it out more tomorrow, when I'm a bit more awake.

an alien would be cool to

wonder if it is legal to use magic to time travel to the future the white councils laws forbid going against times flow but thats just swimming with the current

since their is a law against it i figure time travel will worm its way into 1 of the books at some point
