Don't Run, You're Already Fucked
- Nicodemus Archleone: Leader of the Order of the Blackened Denarius and partner to the Fallen Anduriel. Is practically invulnerable due to the Noose of Judas he wears around his neck. Has killed hundreds of Knights and has wiped out the Church's records on him every few years. Has lived for two thousand years and is insanely strong and can control shadows due to Anduriel's power.
- Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness, aka Queen of the Winter Sidhe: Mother of Maeve and absolute ruler of the Winter Fae. Spent years trying to get Harry to take the mantle of Winter Knight and finally succeeding in Changes. Is rumored to be going insane. By far one of the most powerful entities in the whole of Harry's world, capable of working terrifying feats of magic with barely an effort. When angered, her voice is capable of causing the ground to rumble and Harry's nose and ears to bleed. Raising it above a whisper caused absolute agony.
- Titania, Monarch of the Summer Court: Mab's foil and ruler of the Summer Court. Since Harry took up the Winter Knight mantle, she probably doesn't like him much.
- He Who Walks Behind: The Outsider Justin DuMorne summoned to kill Harry when he was a teenager, but Harry defeated him. Known to be the highest Knight of the rulers of the Outsiders. At the end of Blood Rites, he and Harry met again where HWWB threatened him again. The Outsider earns its name by stalking its prey in the periphery of their vision, or behind them, driving the victim slowly insane.
- The Archive (aka, Ivy) *: The living repository of all written human knowledge in the form of a twelve year old girl. The Archive is passed down from mother to daughter, and Ivy's mother committed suicide so that the Archive passed to her daughter at the age of six. Named Ivy by Harry, since the girl had no self-identity prior to then. The name helped her shape one independent of her birthright. An incredibly powerful practitioner, can control threads of Mordite with pinpoint precision with barely enough magic to light a few candles.
- The Naagloshii, aka The Skinwalker, aka Shagnasty: A semi-divine immortal creature of Navajo legend. It feeds on fear, so much that the very fear that comes with thinking of it, or just speaking its name makes it stronger. Has incredible shape shifting abilities and the one that showed up in Turn Coat is a capable sorcerer as well. They track and kill wizards and other magical creatures to add their power to their own. Even the Navajo who have the folkloric knowledge to combat the creature are so fearful of it that its never spoken of to outsiders. It tortured Thomas into reverting back to his old feeding habits because that would be what caused Harry the most pain. It instinctively knows how to extract the most emotional pain from its victims.
- The Red King (aka Kulaklan, Red Court, Deceased): Patriarch of the Red Court and a retired god of the Mayans. Small in stature, his power is great enough to subjugate some of the most powerful wizards in the White Council with the mere push of his will alone. Unfortunately (and fortunately) over the years he has started to lose his control over his bloodlust, an affliction that has left him very vulnerable. Racist against any other Red Court vampires not of the "true bloodline" (read: of Mayan descent), only those of his immediate bloodline can ascend to the highest echelons of the court. Was killed in Changes after the Bloodline Curse was turned against him.
- Lords of the Outer Night (Red Court, Deceased): The Red King's chief minions and retired godlings in their own right.
- Cowl (Necromancer): A mysterious necromancer and disciple of Kemmler. His power ranks in the top five wizards of the world, and survived Harry flipping a car on him and in fact walked away. Completely rolled over Harry during Dead Beat.
- Authur Langtry, aka The Merlin ~ (White Council - Senior Council): Leader of the White Council and arguably the most powerful wizard in the world. Fanatically traditional, stubborn, and proud, the Merlin is distrustful of Harry due to his parentage through Margaret LeFay and his tutoring by Justin DuMorne and is convinced that Harry works for the darker powers. Many times he's more interested in play politics and pandering to the powerful factions inside the Council than doing the right or smart thing. Has tried many times to get Harry removed from the Council, executed, or otherwise.
- The Erlking: The Lord of the Wild Hunt and of the Goblins and the Summer King. Like Titania, he is incredibly powerful, if not one of the most powerful creatures in Fae. Harry summoned and bound him in Dead Beat to prevent him and the Wild Hunt from being consumed by the Darkhollow for power. This put Harry on his badside, so its awesome when Harry dropped in on him in Changes. That was a barrel of laughs. Its believed that Thomas, at one point, rode with the Wild Hunt.
- Ferrovax (Dragon): An elder dragon that Harry met in Grave Peril at Bianca's party. Word of Jim states that Ferrovax is powerful enough that Mab would loathe to stand against him in combat and stood a chance of losing to him should it come to pass. He was capable of flattening Harry with just a portion of his name and a bit of his will. So far, hasn't shown up again and Harry is probably happy about that.
- Heinrich Kemmler (Necromancer, Deceased): The actual cause of both World Wars. So powerful that he ravaged Europe and used the war to build a massive army of undead at his command. The White Council sent the Senior Council and the entire force of the Wardens against him during both wars and ended up having to kill him three times during the course of the 20th century. He created the Darkhollow and was the previous owner of Bob. The last time the Council killed him, they burned and scattered the ashes of his body in four different countries and plowed the grave sites with salt. Justified overkill.
- Rashid, aka The Gatekeeper ~ (White Council - Senior Council): A mysterious man on the Council of seeming Arab descent but with a British accent. He is more flexible than most of his contemporaries on the Senior Council and will go behind their backs if he feels he must. He has a metallic eye that can see into the future and its thought that he acts as a bit of a soothsayer for the Council, looking into the future to determine probable future violations of the Laws of Magic. Has a sense of humor, which is rare for a Council member.
- Mother Summer: The mother of Titania and the previous Summer Queen. Mind-bogglingly powerful.
- Mother Winter: The mother of Mab and the previous Winter Queen. Gave Harry the Unraveling in Summer Knight.
