Recurring Characters

  • The Archive

The page as written claims that The Archive can have power that is "at most" that of the strongest wizard. Think this through: wizards power comes from their knowledge of their discipline; with the accumulated knowledge of every wizard that ever lived, the Archive is far more powerful than any single wizard, no matter how powerful. In any event, the statement as written in the page represents original research, as it is not made anywhere within the text, and should be expurgated.

  • Cowl

Cowl is a recuring nemisis of Harry Dresden who appears in two books White Night and Dead Beat. Cowl is definately a major character and deserves to be included in this article. Hourglasseyes-CG 13:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

  • The Merlin

Is that Arthur or Alfred? Ebenezar calls him Alfred, in Summer Knight, doesn't he? DannyBoy2k 16:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Thomas

Unless someone can think of a good reason why, I'm going to delete the snippet under Thomas. The main article link is much more extensive, and covers all the same information contained in the summary. Considering we don't summarize Harry or Karrin, I don't see why we'd do one for a recurring character either.Brinlong (talk) 18:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Nicodemus Archleon

I find it strange that he doesn't have at least a paragraph on him. Even Ortega has a portion in this article, and he was killed in the only book that featured him prominently. (His bit appearence in Grave Peril does not count as prominent.) Nick, however, has been a major character in 2 books now, and given that Harry merely dumped his unconscious body off into the water instead of taking his coin and making SURE he was dead, I have a good feeling that SF isn't the last book we'll see him in. 132.228.195.206 (talk) 13:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Minor Characters

Why on earth is Sandra Marling on the list? She's about as insignificant as Dresden Files characters get. Only appears in one book, doesn't play an important part in it, is just your average vanilla human, ect. Including her would preclude the inclusion of every named character in any of the books. I suggest simply deleting her from the list, possibly replacing her with a more interesting character. Mab, Lily, Fix, Cowl, Madrigal Raith, Laura Raith, Lord Raith, Sanya, Helen Beckitt, Maeve, even Deirdre and Cassius; all of them are recurring characters with significance. There are even Non-recurring characters to by far deserve to be on the list more: Shiro, Tessa, Anna Ash, Bock, even Grevane & Corpsetaker. So why on earth should Sandra be on the list?

Archive

I think the Archive should be a recurring character. she is a mian character in Small Favor and appears in other books —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevin127 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Carpenters

When are some of them going to get their own articles? Not the Jawas or Charity but Michael's been a main character in more books then Thomas has and Molly's officially been Harry's apprentice since the end of Proven Guilty (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't read the series in a while) so shouldn't one of them get an article (most likely Molly since a. she's his apprentice and thus guaranteed main character status for a couple more books (assuming Turn Coat doesn't kill her, which I HIGHLY doubt) and Michael's heavily implied as being royally screwed at the end of small favor. And don't get me started on Rodriguez...
