In the series[]

Proven Guilty[]

In Proven Guilty, using his identity as Darby Crane, he works as a producer and director of horror movies; a named work of his is the film Harvest.[3] He attended the horror convention SplatterCon!!! as a guest of honor.[3] He kidnapped Harry Dresden and Detective Henry Rawlins with him. He shot Rawlins in the foot while chained to a wall and used thorn manacles on Dresden, and attempted to sell him on eBay to Dresden's enemies. The highest bidder was Arianna Ortega.[2]

White Night[]

In White Night, in a bid to take control of the White Court from House Raith, Raith teams with Vittorio Malvora in a plot to undermine the White Council by killing women practitioners and thinning, or culling, their numbers. He makes a mistake in killing one of the women, Jessica Blanche, via House Raith methods (lust), thereby drawing Dresden's attention to the possibility of more than one killer.[4]  

Raith dies in a duel with Dresden and Carlos Ramirez.[5]  

"Wild Card"[]

In "Wild Card", his relation with Vittorio Malvora is mentioned as exposing Lara Raith's weak position in the White Court at the time.[6]
