The Need-to-Know: Just a few things that I feel need stating about the way Harry operates. Subject to editing later.
True Naming: Harry is used to names having a lot of power over the person they belong to, so it's rare for him to give out his full name of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden.
Hellfire: A power Harry doesn't have anymore, the fires of destruction and main source of power for the Fallen Angels and those they attempt to corrupt. The shadow of Harry's fallen angel passenger was burned out of his mind, and took access to Hellfire with her.
Soulfire: The Fires of Creation, as well as the essence of the human soul. Access to this power means Harry blends his own Soul into his magic, though his access is heavily restricted here in the Omniverse.
Incantations: It will be quickly noticed that Harry's spells are cast in bastardized Latin and Spanish. This is because Harry's magic uses words to represent important parts of spell constructs, and having them in his native language or any language he actually spoke would run the risk of activating the spells improperly any time he mentioned the trigger word; E.X. things catching fire if he said "fire".
Winter Knight: The name for the appointed mortal representative of the Winter Court, also known as Unseelie Fae. Basically Mab's hitman in the mortal world. Dresden only took this job to save his daughter, and only because his other options were taking up Lasciel's coin or striking deals with actual demons. What this means is that, should Queen Mab show up in the Omniverse, Harry would be subject to her authority, but their relationship is rather complicated in reality and hardly ever that simple. In particular, his position as Warden of Demonreach keeps her from trying to compel him directly. Rather, she prefers to arrange it so that circumstance does it for her.
Demonreach: An island prison for some of the nastiest things known to mankind, located in the middle of Chicago's Lake Michigan. Raised from the earth by the first Merlin, who is for some reason named Merlin, this prison has stood since at least before the Dark Ages. Harry performed a Sanctum Invocation to gain an advantage against some bad guys on the island, inadvertently taking up the position as the prison's Warden.
Bob: A spirit of knowledge housed in a human skull that Harry normally keeps in his lab. Top secret. Bob is loyal to whoever holds the skull, but not necessarily helpful. Harry's the one who gave him his name, which gives him a small measure of authority over Bob when nobody is touching the skull. The extent of this is limited to letting Bob out of the skull and asking him questions. He's under orders to let anyone who doesn't know about him think he is an ordinary skull.
