Summary
After the events of Small Favor, Harry is rattled on how easily it was for Nicodemus to break the Accords. He has come to realize how fallible they were and thus the danger Chicago was in. Thus the danger Marcone was as its protector and Baron. A little reluctantly he goes to Bob for advice for what he considers an insane idea. If anyone could know if it would even work without talking to the Sidhe, would be his intellectus. Bob confirms that the idea would theoretically would but it would be the first. No one had ever bound another to a vanilla mortal in the way he was suggesting. It would require a lot of time, magic, and a hell of a ritual. But in theory, binding himself to the mobster would give Marcone some protection from the supernatural. They wouldn't know the side effects beforehand though.
So with that in mind, Harry goes to the man and makes his case. For the sake of Chicago, and maybe to a small extent, for Marcone's safety. After getting a second opinion from Gard, Marcone agrees.

Summary
During the Battle for Chicago, Harry Dresden is killed. His only regret was that he was leaving behind the one person who managed to get past his defenses. John Marcone had givme him all the reasons needed to survive. Dying meant he would be leaving him alone.
Harry did not expect to wake up. Much less wake up around a decade in the past to Morgan giving him CPR. Having to navigate the past with the wrench of soulmates, what kind of ridiculousness was this, makes his life difficult. Especially when the one person he'd come to trust breaks into his office just as Harry remembered him doing.
Everything in him wants to leave Chicago and just hide from everything. He fought all of this once. Why did he have to do it all again? He was tired and hurting. The thought of falling back into step at John's side is more comforting than anything else. It might make things better this time. Maybe he can stop people from dying. Maybe they can change everything.
For those he lost once and he would do his best not to lose again.

Summary
Another death and another universe. He'd thought he succeeded that time in ending the forsaken cycle. Even allowing one of the Outsider. He'd hoped that it would finally be enough. Waking up in his office two weeks after killing Victor Sells however proved him wrong. He was so tired. He wondered what would change with this new universe.
Nicodemus never thought he'd receive his own soulmark. It had been over two thousand years since he was born and not once was he ever blessed with a mark. Until one day when he was passing through Chicago and a mark appeared on his forearm. It was a large wolf with black fur with deep dark eyes. It seemed he wouldn't be passing through Chicago as he planned.

Summary
Nicodemus returns to Chicago to get rid of a book. He sees a half dead wizard fighting with a Wolfkin disease. A disease he know how to cure. He hadn't realized the wizard had half a leg in the living world and half in the spirit world. Beings like him weren't born often even amongst the Wolfkin. They were the ones who could travel easily between the realms and they were treasured and cared for. Especially given that they were all but extinct.
The fact the wizard was all alone and sick meant he didn't have a pack or clan. Pack didn't have to be wolf it was a bond forged through time. It spoke greatly of how strong Dresden's bonds with his "friends" were. He had no stong ties to anyone or anything. That made him vulnerable. Nicodemus uses his advantage.

Summary
John has noticed a change in Dresden since Victor Sells was stopped. He seems colder to those he calls his allies. And strangely less prone to setting things immediately on fire that annoy him. John doesn't know what brought about this change but he was suspicious of it.
Another death. A new life. It seemed his latest idea to stop the cycle had failed. Fuck whatever deity decided this was his punishment. Hells Bells he was so tired and done. His magic ran from his control and it was only getting worse. If he couldn't find a way to control it soon he might be the nuclear bomb equivalent to his city.
Why couldn't he die and stay dead for once? What had he done to deserve this hell?

Summary
Harry was tired, tired of fighting for ungrateful people, the White Council, supernatural beings. Tired of being used and being a scapegoat.
Marcone had heard about it through the grapevine. It didn't happen suddenly, and there was no single event that drove the change, but rather the steady, subtle build-up of little annoyances.
For years now, the Wizard's community had been taking advantage of his generosity and the aid he gave willingly, only to treat him with derision, or even suspicion and outright dislike, for not fitting their cookie cutter moulds of what a proper wizard.
He had tried to offer Dresden a place at his side before. Though he saw Harry wavering the last time he offered it. Then one of his men dragged in a half dead wizard into his office.

Summary
Something that Nicodemus has hidden over the years, is that when a new host picks up a Blackened Denarius coin they are bonded to the first older Denarian they come into contact with. When Harry picks up Lasciel's coin, Nicodemus was there to ensure it was he who Harry was unknowingly bonded to. Nicodemus stays in Chicago and watches the wizard struggle with the new instincts drawing him to the Denarian.
Harry doesn't know what's wrong with him since he's picked up the coin. It's like there's a voice in the back of his head and it's driving him to someone- or something. Fighting against it is almost physically painful. The worst part about all this is that he doesn't know why.

Those within the Supernatural Community didn't trust them and he decides that something had to be changed. So he gathers the Community at Mac's to decide how to protect Chicago without the Council.

One big one was a man who continually tried to put himself into the line of fire; despite the fact he was a vanilla mortal. John Marcone. If they chose him, he would need a Protector as he was still a mortal. Harry has to make a choice on whether or not he could put aside his feelings for the man for the good of his city. A bond like what would be created for a Protector bond would destroy the ties that bound him to the Council and to the Winter Queen.
