* Rudy the brown-nosed cop-cop had a thing for Murphy. Bear with me, it makes sense. We know that Rudy ended up at SI because he couldn't keep his pants up, sleeping with the wrong City Councilman's daughter. We know that in ''Grave Peril'', he is fiercely devoted to/protective of Murphy, giving Dresden an IfYouDoAnythingToHurtHer speech that Dresden brushes off. We also know that by his next appearance, he's acting like she's poison and loathes her - and Dresden - to an irrational degree. Now, part of it is probably just because he reacted very badly to the supernatural. Part of it, though, might have another explanation. When he finds Dresden and Murphy tangled up in a hug and having fallen over in ''Changes'', he snarls that he always knew that there was something going on there. Conclusion: Rudy had a thing for Murphy, asked her out and got overprotective and got put firmly in his place, and went from loving her to loathing her. With Dresden, his hatred was magnified because he saw Dresden as the competition who had 'stolen' the object of his affections.

[[Summer Knight Ronald Reuel is actually the real JRR Tolkien]]
* The real-life Tolkien was certainly an illustrator and creator of fantasy worlds, and his White Council bears a certain resemblance to Butcher's, meaning that in-universe, Tolkien found out about the White Council and modeled his on it (which may have been a subtle jab at Langtry if he deliberately modelled Saruman after him). Since a normal human would've been getting on in age, he faked his death and moved to America, figuring that no one would put two and two together through simple refuge in audacity.
** Even better? In real life, Tolkien died in 1973. Reverse that, and those are the numbers from the Ring poem. Conclusion? Tolkien deliberately chose that year to fake his deah.
