20	!!Ethniu
21
22	Daughter of Balor, Ethniu is the last Titan in existence. She is worshipped and served by King Corb, and seems to be directing his acts of increasing hostility towards other Accords members.
23
24	----
25	* AdaptationalVillainy: Absolutely. Ethniu (whose main role in Celtic Mythology is very similar to that of Danaë of Greek Mythology, a GirlInTheTower locked by her abusive ArchnemesisDad due to a prophesy that her son would kill him. Said surviving grandson turned out to be Lugh) in the Dresden Verse has taken her father's traditional role as the powerful yet utterly amoral, sadistic and sociopathic supernatural being who is also a leading member of TheOldGods.
26	* AncientEvil: As described under TimeAbyss, below, Ethniu has been around for a ''long'' time, and while we don't know her temperament from the old days, in modern times she's an OmnicidalManiac towards humanity, if not all Unseelie Accord Nations as well.
27	* ArcVillain: For the Fomor StoryArc, due to being the TheManBehindTheMan behind Corb and his fellow Fomor filling up the EvilPowerVacuum left by the eliminated Red Court. She takes center stage in Literature/PeaceTalks and Literature/BattleGround with her direct appearance.
28	* AxCrazy: Easily one of the most openly deranged characters in the whole series. [[spoiler: When Harry does a soulgaze with her, nothing happens, and he realizes it's because her soul is already all around him: she ''is'' all the carnage and destruction she's wrought.]] Add to that the fact that her main weapon of choice is basically a weaponized version of ThePowerOfHate and her own OmnicidalManiac attitude and she comes off more as a terrifyingly unhinged engine of destruction than a real character.
29	* BigBad: Of the ''Literature/PeaceTalks''[=/=]''Literature/BattleGround'' TwoPartEpisode. [[spoiler: Or so it seems until [[TheManBehindTheMan Nemesis]] is revealed to have orchestrated the whole thing, meaning Ethniu was really just TheHeavy.]]
30	* BigBlackout: She announces her intentions by unleashing a magical EMP that shuts down everything electrical in and around Chicago. It seems that she's just as prone to showy shows of power as [[BigEntrance Mab]] is. Harry notes that later on there were nearly 1,500 automobile accidents in the single moment and scores of resulting deaths.
31	* BodyHorror: Downplayed at first. She apparently replaced her left eye with the Eye of Balor, which appears to be the actual eye from Balor, her dad, and it's slightly too large for her head. She's also mutilated, maimed, disfigured, and heavily charred in places by the end of ''Battle Ground''.
32	* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: Marcone sneers at Ethniu for this, noting that if she had just attacked without warning, she would have crushed her opposition, but instead she had to grandstand and make speeches.]]
33	* BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:A necessary part of the plan to take her down. Her Titanic Bronze armor puts her out of reach of anyone below the level of a major god or demon, and protects her hold of the Eye.]]
34	* TheChessmaster: Turns out that she's not a half-bad player, considering her XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: The whole PeaceConference with The Unseelie Accords signatories to finally hash out an arrangement with the Fomor? She's just gathering everyone to announce her intents to wage war on humanity, and to tell the signatories to JoinOrDie. And if they refuse? Well, no problem... because if she succeeds in razing all of Chicago to the ground during her fight against The Unseelie Accords, then it will draw the outrage and notice of the entire mortal world, which they will make war on all the Supernatural forces. And while they fight, the Fomor and Ethniu will watch safely from under the seas.]] Either way, TheMasquerade is going to be damaged, which is something that she's aiming for anyway.
35	** She also [[spoiler: takes advice from Listen and considers Dresden to be rightfully dangerous, enough so that she sent men to the Carpenter house to kill everyone there and recorded it to show Harry as PsychologicalCombat to BreakTheBadass. It would've worked had Molly not already planned for it and put decoys there]].
36	* DeathOfAThousandCuts: How everyone plans to take her down. [[spoiler: It works, and she’s weakened enough that her final SealedEvilInACan fate sticks for good. ''Every'' heavy-hitter in the FinalBattle (Mab, Odin, The Earlking, Titania, The Archive, River Shoulder, Ebenezer, Listens-to-Wind, Ramirez, Gard, Hendricks, Marcone, Thorned Namshiel, two Knights Of The Cross, Lara, TheCavalry lead by both Molly and Sarissa and Harry himself) does their part to slowly weaken her bit by bit until she's wounded enough that her permanent sealing in Demonreach is possible. As Harry himself lampshades: "How do you eat a Titan? One bite at a time."]]
37	* DiabolusExNihilo: Ethniu as a character is almost literally a “devil from nothing”: an astronomically powerful and evil villain who comes out of left field, her existence never previously alluded to. And exactly as the trope defines such a character, she’s revealed to exist, gets a tiny smattering of backstory, shakes up the setting, and is disposed of at the end of her story arc (the only way she’s coming back is if [[spoiler: Harry decides to exploit her power, which he acknowledges as a catastrophically stupid idea, or if Demonreach gets breached, in which case North America is screwed with or without her]]).
38	* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. She's not ''stupid'', but she doesn't have much of a mind for strategy or politics. Most of her gambits either [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfire]] or [[OutGambitted are countered by her opponents]], and Mab and Marcone both mock her for playing her hand badly and botching what could have otherwise been an easy win. What makes her dangerous is the enormous amount of power she wields -more than anything else Harry has encountered in the series so far, at least while maintaining the ability to use it relatively freely.
39	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Ethniu has an epic case of this when [[spoiler: she's defeated by Harry and Marcone working together, Heaven and Hell powered, plus all the citizens of Chicago. Her response is that she was betrayed by Listen and that's the only reason she could have lost. Harry even shows a surprising amount of sadnes when he somberly states: "Sure, that's your takeaway here."]]
40	* FantasticNuke: Wields The Eye Of Balor (which is named after her Mythological father's DeadlyGaze), a ''reusable'' version of this that can single-handedly be used to level cities and crush armies. There's a scrum for it when it gets knocked out of her head, and Ethniu realizes that it can be used to end ''her''.
41	* FlatCharacter: Ethniu has two character traits, and they are arrogance and violence. This is something of a plot point -- see DumbMuscle above, and [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]] below.
42	* GaiasVengeance: She considers herself to be this, declaring that humanity needs to be purged due the damage that mortals have done to the world. Like everything else, [[AxeCrazy it comes out as complete madness on her part and another outlet for her murderous insanity]].
43	* GodEmperor: A rare female example for the Fomor, [[PhysicalGod quite literally]]; unfortunately for everyone, she's also a very strong example of GodSaveUsFromTheQueen.
44	* GodNeedsPrayersBadly: Averted with Ethniu. Unlike most deities, whose power scales with worship and relevance, Titans are apparently not limited in quite the same way. Though Ethniu did plan on getting a world where she could feed on the suffering and sacrifice of mortals to reestablish herself back into the food chain.
45	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Murphy wryly points outs that being locked away by your ArchnemesisDad for thousand of years clearly does nothing good for your sanity, and considering how much a OmnicidalManiac Ethniu proves herself to be both in battle and temperament Karrin very clearly has a point.
46	* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]:
47	** Narrowly averted in the final battle. [[spoiler:Odin gets one last word in by getting Gungnir to stab her right in the Eye of Balor just as she is about to fire it, damaging it, frying her skull, and breaching the Titanian Bronze armor. This allows Lara to just knock the Eye out of Ethniu's head, leaving it up for grabs. If somebody managed to get it to another immortal, they could have used it to fry Ethniu and put the matter at rest. Marcone managed to snag it, and short on ways to actually use the Eye and other options, he uses it to lure Ethniu to the shore to give Harry a shot at binding her.]]
48	** Due to EvilCannotComprehendGood, she 100% believed that her grandstanding actions in ''Peace Talk'' made her a HopeCrusher towards her enemies, but [[spoiler: it only served to galvanize the Accorded Nations and unite them against a single enemy in a way that hadn't been seen in a ''long'' time in order to defeat her once and for all. Marcone actually lampshades this fact to her face during his BreakThemByTalking speech toward the Titan]]. In the end, she only has her own arrogance, cruelty and lack of pragmatism to blame for her final fate.
49	* HotGod: {{Downplayed}}; Ethniu is described as quite attractive and has a ''very'' pleasant voice. However, the Eye of Balor implanted in her head explicitly mars her otherwise lovely features. This is only brought up in her introduction, and quickly becomes background detail in the face of her gravitas, BodyHorror, maddened hatred, and [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt stated end goal]].
50	* TheJuggernaut: She wears armor made of Titanic Bronze, an alloy of Olympian Bronze and Mordite, the protective ability of which is tied directly to the strength of her will -- in other words, as long as she ''thinks'' she's invincible, she ''actually is'', even on those parts of her not covered by armor. Only sufficient divine (or infernal) power can breach her armor without first needing to break her will. On top of that, she matches a who's who list of the Dresdenverse in divine, magical, and physical combat, even as they team up against her. Quite simply, she was so stupidly powerful, that she could stand up to just about everything.
51	* KickTheSonOfABitch: Literally punts Mab through a wall in the middle of the titular Peace Talks. While Mab isn't a ''villain'' per se, all the evil shit she's done throughout the previous books puts it in this category.
52	* LargeAndInCharge: Though she has human proportions, she's nine feet tall, towering over even other gods.
53	* [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]]: The last of The Titans. In a case of OurTitansAreDifferent being a Titan in the Dresden-Verse seems to be very similar to how the Titans were interpreted in Greek Mythology (Instead of the "titanic in size" modern examples), TheOldGods who were in power centuries before the current supernatural ruling power.
54	* TheManBehindTheMan: It turns out that she’s behind Corb's monstrous acts. When introduced she’s literally [[spoiler:holding Corb by a leash.]]
55	* MasterOfAll: Actual skill aside, Harry compares fighting her to playing a game of RockPaperScissors where his side only has a single pick, while she can always choose whichever trumps her enemies, if not just choosing an even better rock, better paper, or better scissors to BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame.
56	* NoSell: [[spoiler: Breaks the magical defenses [[CrazyPrepared Marcone]] placed into his castle with as much effort as walking through a spider's web.]]
57	* TheOldGods: As a Titan, which in the context of the Dresdenverse, means a member of one of the original pantheons. Like most deities, who simply went dormant once worship dropped off or changed to fit new paradigms, she was a deity in Bronze Age Ireland who dropped into the background and the world went on until she got involved with the Fomor.
58	* OneDegreeOfSeparation:
59	** She's personally acquainted enough with [[spoiler: Thorned Namshiel]] that she personally insults him, and in return [[spoiler: Thorned Namshiel via Marcone]] actually casually snarks back that she herself has not changed much either.
60	** She also starts screaming in rage at [[spoiler: the angel housed within ''Fidellachius'']], apparently immediately recognizing the object for what it was and who was inside it, though Harry and Butters only realized this recently, and only after the events of ''Skin Game''.
61	** This isn't terribly surprising, since Mab is acquainted with Anduriel and possibly Uriel, and Odin casually remarks that he has lunch with Uriel once a year early in ''Battle Ground''. Angels and the lesser godly powers like to keep acquainted, it seems.
62	* OutGambitted: Ethniu suspected that [[spoiler: Harry would try to imprison her on Demonreach as a last resort, and that doing so would require a battle of wills between her and him. [[CrazyPrepared In preparation for this]], she had Listen and his troops raid the Carpenter house and kill everyone inside (including Maggie), and saved the memory to use it against Harry to break his will. Unfortunately for her, [[XanatosSpeedChess Molly was expecting this]] and had illusions of her family ready just in case, and Harry saw through the illusion because [[SpottingTheThread Mouse was not among the victims, which was a clear sign from Molly that it was a deception]]]].
63	* PhysicalGod: Has one hell of a EstablishingCharacterMoment by not only casually slapping down Mab (as in the freaking [[GodSaveUsfromtheQueen Queen of Air and Darkness]] herself) with ''terrifying'' ease, but also using her power to choke [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Ferrovax]] with very little difficulty on her part. This is the first time she physically appears, yet she very quickly proves herself to be by far one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the whole series.
64	* ThePowerOfHate: This is what it takes to power [[ArtifactOfDoom the Eye of Balor]]. Suffice it to say, she is an able wielder of its power.
65	* [[PsychopathicManchild Pyschopathic Womanchild]]: Her long imprisonment at her father's hands has left her with more than a few screws loose. In particular, Dresden compares her VillainousBreakdown to a child being told "No" for the first time.
66	* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler: She ends ''Battle Ground'' as a prisoner of Demonreach and ''technically'' bound to Harry's will, though he recognizes that actually trying to exploit her power wouldn't be smart.]]
67	* SmugSuper: She's utterly convinced of her inevitable victory and has the mind-shattering power to seemingly back up her claims, but she underestimates her enemies ''very'' badly.
68	* StoryBreakerPower: Ethniu boasts the power to casually smack Faerie Queens around and intends to [[spoiler: tear down TheMasquerade with her own two hands. Given that this combination could single-handedly destroy the basic concept of ''The Dresden Files'' in less than a week, she gets dealt with semi-permanently at the end of her first appearance (if one considers ''Peace Talks'' and ''Battle Ground'' a single story)]].
69	* TimeAbyss: She's old enough that she remembers both [[TheFairFolk Mab]] back when she was a mortal child and when Odin used to be in his prime in terms of divine power. One of her memories is watching over farmers in Ireland during that region's Bronze Age; to wit, that means she goes back [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Age#Ireland to 2000 B.C.]] at least by that metric, and she's quite probably even older than that.
70	* TooPowerfulToLive: See StoryBreakerPower. There ''are'' a very small handful of other characters strong enough to overcome Mab in a straight, face-to-face fight (such as the Faerie Mothers, Demonreach, and potentially Ferrovax), but unlike them, Ethniu has zero restrictions on her power.
71	* ToUnmasqueTheWorld: [[spoiler:This seems to be her endgame/the most ideal scenario in her mind. And she's perfectly willing to cross every line possible without hesitation in order to make it so. While she fails to completely pull this off, the aftermath of her attack leaves widespread devastation and thousands dead. Harry notes that most of the people in Chicago are now aware of the supernatural despite the government's attempt to cover up the truth by claiming it was a massive terrorist attack coupled with hallucinogenic gases.]]
72	* UnskilledButStrong: Played with. According to legend, she basically has no skill at all. Whether true or not during the age of myth, when she's actually encountered she actually displays some fighting skill, but her real strength is that she has enough raw power to bulldoze just about everyone. What ultimately brings her down was her lack of discipline; she becomes overly reliant on the eye for most of her fight, and she's ruled by her emotions, allowing her enemies to manipulate her into a losing position.
73	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Ultimately, she’s just another pawn of Nemesis. Ethniu's entire attack on Chicago was merely a distraction to prevent Dresden from noticing that Justine had been possessed so Nemesis would have access to Demonreach.]]
74	* VillainTeamUp: ''Peace Talks'' strongly implies that she’s done this with [[EldritchAbomination The Outsiders]]. [[spoiler:She hadn't. It's not entirely clear if she was corrupted by Nemesis (or even if she could be) or if it had manipulated her, but the Outsiders intensified their attack on the Gates as Ethniu attacked Chicago, anticipating that it was potentially hours before the Gates fell from the other side. Ethniu's personal war was a long con by Nemesis, designed specifically to eventually infiltrate Nemesis onto Demonreach, with Harry's protection no less. Fortunately, Harry sees the plan with only minutes to spare.]]
75	* WaveMotionGun: The Eye of Balor behaves like this, complete with needing to charge up between uses. When used, it fires [[ThePowerOfHate a beam of solid hate]] that obliterates anything in its path. People caught in it die quickly, but their last moments are filled with unimaginable suffering. [[spoiler: Mab confidently withstands a direct hit from it, because being the Queen of the cold, logical Winter Court makes her the antithesis of the Eye's irrational hate, but she's left too exhausted to even sit up straight afterward.]]

78	!Fomor
79
80	[[folder:In General]]
81	Old enemies of both the Summer and Winter Fae who were banished out to sea, and are one of the supernatural powers that re-emerged at the end of ''Changes''. They’re a hodgepodge of many monsters and pantheons driven into the sea and now adapted to aquatic life. WordOfGod hints that they’re featured in some of H.P. Lovecraft's writings.
82	----
83	* ArcWelding: There are hints the Formor may have been behind a lot of the action in the series, [[UnreliableNarrator unbeknownst to Harry]].
84	* ArchEnemy: To TheFairFolk.
85	* {{Bioaugmentation}}: All of them have it in order to survive underwater, and they both transform their human servants and create other "experiments" using the same techniques.
86	* CripplingOverspecialization: Their armies are experts at fighting as underwater units, but they're much less effective on land where they can't move in three dimensions and it's harder to avoid colliding with each other.
87	* DidntThinkThisThrough: As King Corb himself realizes in ''Battle Ground'', [[spoiler:the Battle of Chicago only succeeds in them losing most of their army, the loss of their PhysicalGod Empress, and encouraging an EnemyMine of the Unseelie Accorded Nations against them (rendering them all effectively ''persona non grata'' in the supernatural community]].
88	* EntropyAndChaosMagic: Their combat magic is heavily entropy based (which, in ''The Dresden Files'', comes from water magic).
89	* EvilPowerVacuum: Moved in ''fast'' after the complete destruction of the Red Court.
90	* FantasticRacism: Most of the Fomor depicted in the series think themselves far superior to mortals.
91	* FantasticSlur: Harry likes to mockingly refer to them as "frogs."
92	* FishPeople: An amalgam of the features and shapes of various aquatic creatures.
93	* IHaveYourWife: Or child. Or sibling. Or neighbor. Or pet. Another tactic of the Fomor to get at people. They’ll use what they can.
94	* KillItWithWater: Like Ramirez, their offensive magic is heavily based on [[MakingASplash water]] - specifically [[EntropyAndChaosMagic the entropy aspects]].
95	* MixAndMatchCritters: The octokongs from ''Skin Game'' are definitely Fomor creations, and the guard-animals used by the Denarians are suspected to be as well.
96	* TheOathbreaker: [[spoiler:The Fomor all become this as they break their oaths to abide by the Unseelie Accords after Ethniu humiliates Mab with a single blow. As such, ''no one'' will ever make a deal with the Fomor in the future and will only see them as untrustworthy swine.]]
97	* OrganicTechnology: Most of their weapons look like and appear to be made from undersea organisms.
98	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Fomor are a collective group of species, described as the cast-offs and rejects of several different mythologies.
99	* SuperHumanTrafficking: They've been doing this to cities all over the world. Murphy's rescue op in "Aftermath" was just one of many talent trafficking operations they've done.
100	* UnderestimatingBadassery: ''Battle Ground'' highlights that they seriously underestimated the danger of both the other Unseelie Accorded Nations and the mortals of Chicago.
101	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To Nemesis in both ''Peace Talks'' and ''Battle Ground'']].
102	* VillainTeamUp:
103	** Their origin. The current Fomor are made up of various monstrous creatures that were defeated by the current supernatural powers and were forced into the oceans to survive.
104	** Lord Omogh, who seeks to control Chicago, works with the Corpsetaker in ''Ghost Story''.
105	* WeHaveReserves: As one servitor tells the Corpsetaker, she may kill him as part of her reply to his lord, but he’s inconsequential - there are many more to take his place. As she irritably observes, she would kill him anyway if he wasn't telling the literal truth. That said, he does have a sense of self-preservation and would not like to die in any means that isn't helping his lord.
106	* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed; Not to the extent of the Faeries, but as they interbred with them back during the Sidhe Wars, they don't do well with iron.
107	* WouldHurtAChild: The Fomor have no compunctions about slaughtering children along with everyone else. At one point during the Battle of Chicago, Harry and company rush to the defense of a daycare being besieged by a group of Huntsmen, and he's also haunted by the sight of an abandoned bloodstained crib he finds.
108	* YouWillBeAssimilated: What they do to their human minions, resulting in uniform servitors who have little individuality.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:King Corb]]
112	!!King Corb
113
114	The ruler of the Fomor.
115	----
116	* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:King Corb gradually comes to note he may be on the other end of this when it becomes increasingly clear that Ethniu has a WeHaveReserves attitude to his troops and fully believes that the US army will slaughter the Fomor when they arrive. The goal is purely to kill as many humans as possible in as little amount of time as they have left.]]
117	* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:After Ethniu's defeat he's seen slaughtering a path through his own men to flee into Lake Michigan.]]
118	* TheDragon: Corb seems to function as Ethniu's second-in-command and is helping her in her quest to bring down humanity.
119	* FauxAffablyEvil: Harry describes Corb as having a velvety, sincere sounding voice as he speaks which is off course offset by the sneering expression on his face and contempt he shows others.
120	* GeneralFailure: [[spoiler:''Battle Ground'' shows him to be this despite his own personal power as TheDragon, being incredibly hot-headed, being quite the BadBoss, having a dangerous LeeroyJenkins mentality becuase he considers himself and his troops so far above humanity as a whole and overall being a major {{Jerkass}} blowhard to the point that even Ethniu considers him incompetent in comparison to Listen's whole HypercompetentSidekick deal. By the end of the FinalBattle, almost half of his people being gone and showing his true color as DirtyCoward proves that he was ''way'' over his head and paid the price for it.]]
121	* GreaterScopeVillain: As the ruler of the Fomor, he serves as one to the ongoing war between them and the rest of the world as they vie for control.
122	* PointyHairedBoss: Presented as being one in ''Battle Ground''.
123	* SmugSnake: ''Battle Ground'' highlights that he's far less competent than he thinks he is.
124	* TimeAbyss: In the same way as Ethniu. And like his leader this makes him an example of AncientEvil.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:"Frogface"]]
128	!!"Frogface"
129
130	A Fomor who collected the minor talents and hedge wizards of Chicago after the Red Court's collapse. Was taken down by Murphy and the Alphas.
131	----
132	* AttemptedRape: Frogface leers at Georgia and implies that he will rape her once they all get back to Fomor territory. Fortunately, Murphy intervenes.
133	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Calls Murphy a bitch.
134	* WouldHitAGirl: Gets excited at the prospect of hurting Georgia, who was resistant to his drugs.
135	* YourHeadAsplode: Gets his head blown to smithereens by Murphy.
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Mag]]
139	!!Mag
140	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mag.png]]
141
142
143	A Fomor sorcerer who was robbed by Justine and who pursued her, ultimately battling John Marcone when he opted to protect her and the baby Justine had rescued from Mag's care.
144	----
145	* EvilOverlord: He follows pretty much every trope. He makes dramatic entrances, cackles about how his opponents are beneath him, and monologues without end.
146	* {{Pride}}: His main problem. He really thinks Marcone will crumble before his magic. This turns out not to be the case.
147	* WorthyOpponent: Admits Marcone to be this [[spoiler: after being injured fatally]].
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:"Froggy"]]
151	!!"Froggy"
152
153	Mag's brother, who planned to gas a treaty signing between the Fomor and the Svartalves; Marcone was attending the signing, and Froggy wanted to kill him in revenge for Mag's death. His plans went awry, however, when witch Molly Carpenter and werewolf Andi Macklin intervened. Froggy might be the Formor known as Omogh mentioned in "Ghost Story".
154	----
155	* AintTooProudToBeg: When Mr. Etri captures him, Froggy begs for mercy, but in vain.
156	* AnArmAndALeg: Etri cuts off one of his arms and his nose before taking him away to exact further punishment.
157	* InASingleBound: Courtesy of his frog physiology.
158	* ManipulativeBastard: Calls a truce meeting simply to get the local Unseelie Accords leaders in one place under the Svartalf roof, so that he could kill them and place the blame on the Svartalves which would compel them to ally with the Fomor to not be destroyed.
159	* VillainOfAnotherStory: He provided the Red Court with the nerve gas they used to hit the White Council hospital in the Congo for the attack that decimated the Warden Old Guard, forcing them to conscript younger Wardens such as Harry and Ramirez.
160	* WouldHitAGirl: Molly sees three dead young women in his bed, all strangled to death. He nearly does this to Molly as well.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	!Jotun
164	[[folder:Svangar]]
165	!!Svangar
166
167	A Jotun whom Dresden tangles with during the assault on Chicago.
168
169	----
170	* BadassBoast: He brags that he fought the Odinson (presumed to be Thor) and survived, which Dresden notes is extremely impressive.
171	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: How Murphy kills him...using a ''rocket launcher''.]]
172
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	!Human Servitors
176
177	[[folder:"Nothing"]]
178	!!"Nothing"
179
180	A servant of Frogface in charge of collecting minor talents from around Chicago.
181	----
182	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Killed by one of his own coral weapons.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:"Listen"]]
186	!!"Listen"
187
188	A servant of Omogh. He acted as a messenger between him and Corpsetaker. He also served Froggy during the attempted gassing of the treaty signing with the Svartalves.
189	----
190	* AffablyEvil: Always polite and cordial, even when talking to the shade of the Corpsetaker in ''Ghost Story''.
191	* ArchEnemy: Seems to be one for Molly Carpenter. They've matched wits numerous tries in their battles throughout Chicago over the better length of a year, have repeatedly tried to kill the other, Listen nearly killing Molly in ''Ghost Story'' helped incite further CharacterDevelopment for her, and he shows up as TheDragon to a peace summit with the Svatalves in "Bombshells,' with Molly uncovering evidence that the summit is being sabotaged.
192	* AscendedExtra: A minor character in ''Ghost Story'' who only shows up for a few scenes becomes both a recurring antagonist to Molly and one of Ethniu's CoDragons in ''Battle Ground''.
193	* BlindObedience: To the point where his only complaint about being killed by the Corpsetaker would be his death wouldn't aiding his lord.
194	* CoDragons: Due to being a lot more intelligent than Corb, he shares this role with the Fomor King in ''Battle Ground'', to the point where Ethniu actually likes ''his'' advice more than Corb's.
195	* DeadpanSnarker: Some of his advice to Ethniu in ''Battle Ground'' is rather dry-witted concerning his expendability.
196	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Does this to Ethniu when she makes a bad call, as he knows very well her invasion would go sideways without his leadership. She’s forced to give in.
197	* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:He failed to recognize that Mouse wasn't in the Carpenter house when he sent a bunch of mercenaries to kill the Carpenters and Maggie Dresden to demoralize Harry. In reality, they were just decoys left behind by Molly, and Mouse's absence served as proof [[AGlitchInTheMatrix that it was false and they were okay]], completely subverting Ethniu's attempt at using this to break his hope and prevent him from binding her into Demonreach. Alternatively, Listen ''did'' notice, but was tired of being a slave, and let Ethniu used the false memory anyway since it would get her sealed in Demonreach and basically make him a free man since Corb and the Fomor are essentially shattered after the events of ''Battle Ground'']].
198	* {{Foil}}: Seems to be this to Harry, since he’s [[spoiler: another Starborn]], a magic-user, and serves Corb in much the same capacity as Harry serves Mab. The only real difference seems to be that while both Omogh and Corb expect and receive sycophantic obedience, Mab explicitly expects Harry to operate independently and even oppose her when it’s in Winter's best interest that he do so.
199	* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Turns out he's also a Starborn.]]
200	* HyperAwareness: To the point where he can actually foil Molly's veils. Molly mentions he once noticed the PerceptionFilter she mixes with her veil when he noticed the thoughts he was having weren't his own and attacked her. Another time he almost finds Molly when he smells her perfume.
201	* HypercompetentSidekick: "Listen" is smart - as noted by both Dresden and Molly - and skilled. He also rightfully points out to Froggy how his actions, despite him making sure he'll not kill any Svartalf, would anger them by damaging their honor and jeopardize the treaty their Empress demands. He turns out to be completely right. Etri kills Froggy when he uncovers the plan and cancels the plan for a peace treaty. Molly notes that she's tried to kill Listens a dozen times and he's either always escaped or turned the tables on her.
202	** He even points out the flaws in the logic of King Corb himself, to the point where Ethniu (who despises mortals on principle) would rather send Corb away and keep Listen around as her own advisor.
203	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Completely escapes any consequences for his actions in ''Battle Ground'']].
204	* NoNonsenseNemesis: Utterly ruthless and practical, to the point where Molly's tried to kill him at least a dozen times and yet he's still managed to survive every time.
205	* TheStoic: Always immensely calm and civil, to the point where there never seems to be anything that can get a rise out of him.
206	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Harry drops 18-20 tons of earth on him, possibly killing him, but he and the others NeverFoundTheBody, so he's probably still out there]].
207	* UndyingLoyalty: To the Fomor. Notably, he's so loyal that he even chides his inhuman leaders when they make dumb decisions that only hurt their goals. [[spoiler:However, it's also subtly implied that he actually ''doesn't'' have this for the Fomor, and he's actually playing both Ethniu and Corb for fools in his bid at freedom. After all, him forgetting Mouse (an ally of his ArchEnemy that he's been closely fighting for almost a year) could just be an honest error... or it could be him intentionally sabotaging Ethniu's memory gambit against Harry so that she'll get sealed away]].
208	* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:''Battle Ground'' reveals that he's a [[TheChosenMany Starborn]], meaning that he can hold power over [[EldritchAbomination Outsiders]] and is TheImmune to [[TheCorruption Nemesis]]. It's also implied that he's ultimately a WildCard who set up both Corb and Ethniu for failure as part of him getting a shot at freedom]].
209	* WeHaveReserves: He fully acknowledges he’s this. If the Corpsetaker kills him, another will take his place.
210	* WildCard: [[spoiler:If the theory that he ''did'' intentionally betray Ethniu is correct, than he's definitely this, as he's ultimately just looking for any way to free him from his masters]].
211	* YouAreACreditToYourRace: Ethniu, who sees most mortals as tantamount to annoying insects, actually likes Listen due to his competence (to the point of telling [[PointyHairedBoss Corb]] to shut up because she appreciates Listen's advice more) and makes a remark of this vein to him in ''Battle Ground''.
