The Black Council
A group that is thought to exist in opposition to the White Council. Despite Harry's suspicions, there has never been any direct evidence for the existence of the Black Council or for any members. Harry referred to them as "The Black Council" during a discussion with Ebenezar McCoy in Proven Guilty. In White Night, Carlos Ramirez called them "The Black Hats", but agrees he likes the Black Council better. In the same novel, Harry overhears Vittorio Malvora and Madrigal Raith talk about "The Circle", which may be the name the Black Council uses to refer to themselves.
There is much speculation as to who may be a member of the Black Council. Current suspects include:
- a Denarian (possibly Thorned Namshiel)
- a member of the Senior Council
- Samuel Peabody
- the Naagloshii
- Madeline Raith
- Madrigal Raith
- Vittorio Malvora
- Cowl
- Gregori Cristos
The Black Council may have used a restaurant in Cairo, Egypt as a meeting place, according to information given to Harry by Binder.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or council:
“Better have a black face than be worried about black deeds.”
—Robert N. Lee, and Rowland V. Lee. Tom Clink (Ernest Cossart)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
