Nothing is said about Rudolph's fate at the end of ''Battle Grounds,'' but it's highly unlikely he'd face justice for his murdering Murphy as there was no body and the only witnesses to what happened (Harry, Butters and Sanya) can't credibly testify against him in a human court, even if the cops were inclined to move against Rudy. However, Mab liked Murphy and has done things on Harry's behalf before when it suited her. It's possible she'll offer up Rudolph on a silver platter so Harry can exact whatever justice he thinks is appropriate; either in a bid to further get Harry to give in to his darker nature or as a wedding present. In either case, it's highly unlikely Mab didn't notice how Rudolph almost managed to get Harry to go over the edge in a way she never could and will seek to exploit that.

* That's so lowbrow. We know there's a traitor on the White Council, the Merlin has taken issue with Harry since he showed up, "Merlin" is a title, Elaine says Harry is "the strongest wizard I've ever met," and a number of times throughout the series, Harry is compared to [[KingArthur the original Merlin]]. Although these are usually jokes ("Maybe I should go out and buy you a round table.") they sometimes aren't (Harry is the first wizard since Merlin to be given guardianship of more than one of the Knights' of the Cross swords). He's obviously being groomed as the next ''Merlin''.

** That's exactly what Harry has been the whole time, though. We're constantly reminded that he's in the top 1% of human practitioners (all White Council members are), and in Changes he estimates himself in the top 20 or 30 wizards in terms of power. That's even before we learn about the starborn business or him becoming the Winter Knight. It's just that he's "unusually powerful" and going up against "absurdly, monstrously powerful" enemies.

[[WMG: The true meaning of “Die alone!”]]
Ever since Cassius cast his Death Curse on Harry, Harry has always worried about the meaning by that curse. He’s been talked down from it, but it now seems that we might be seeing the true force of Cassius’ curse unfolding and wreaking havoc on Harry’s life. Consider what has happened to all the women that Harry had gotten into relationships (or who were interested in a relationship) with over the course of the series since Cassius’ curse was cast.
* Susan was forced to complete her transformation into a Vampire of the Red Court so that Harry could sacrifice her to kill them all.
*Harry’s relationship with Luccio was revealed to be the result of mental manipulation by a mole on the White Council.
* Molly has become the Winter Lady, and is gradually becoming more and more distant from her humanity.
* As of the latest book, Murphy was killed by Rudolph.
* And even though Harry was never romantically involved with her, you could also technically count Justine, who’s now been revealed to have been possessed by Nemesis.
Of course, as dangerous a life as Harry lives, and given his tendency to charge headlong into said danger for the sake of others, and his tendency to attract people who are willing to do the same by his side; it can be easy to overlook these as casualties of that lifestyle. However, all of that is a mask for the insidious nature of Cassius’ final curse, as it continues to wreak havoc on Harry’s personal life, whether by driving people away from Harry, or ultimately convincing Harry to isolate himself from others so that they don’t die from association with him, until Harry truly does “Die alone.”
