Exactly as the name implies, these guys are The Fair Folk. They're mostly divided into the warring Summer and Winter Courts, with those outside the Courts known as 'wyldfae'. The Fae are ruled by a Byzantine series of laws and restrictions that govern how various members of each Court can act, but they have become masters at working within these restrictions. For example, as a rule they Cannot Tell a Lie, but they're absolutely ruthless rules lawyers about Exact Words, and being in debt to a faerie is.. bad, to say the least. They range in power from the relatively harmless (pixies) to the greater-than-godlike (Mother Summer and Mother Winter). Luckily for the Puny Earthlings, all Fae have an Achilles' Heel: iron and steel will burn them and cut through their magic instantly.
Mother Summer and Mother Winter
Mother Winter: Simply tell us, boy. Which is more important. The body--
Mother Summer: Or the soul.
First appearance in Summer Knight. Two sisters who are beyond ancient. The mothers of Mab and Titania, respectively. They do not live with their daughters or granddaughters, but are still well respected by everyone in both courts. Mother Summer can be seen as the progenitor of nature. She cares for the growth of all, from human development to plagues that could wipe out all other species. Mother Winter is destroyer of nature. She is the final end of it all. They both live in a small cottage together.
For Sir Harry, see his entry under Harry and Harry's Household.
Queen Mab
Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness
Mortal brute. Whatever your past, whatever your future, know this: I am Mab, and I keep my bargains. Question my given word again, ape, and I will finish freezing the water in your eyes.
The Queen — i.e. the central ruler, more powerful than the Lady but less so than the Mother, as well as the most visible face — of the Winter Court of Faerie. More so than any other high-ranking fae (except perhaps for the Leanandsidhe) she has a tendency to pop up in Harry's life at the very moments he doesn't want her around. Which is pretty much all the time. Her daughter Maeve was the Winter Lady.

Lady Maeve
Lady Maeve
I think it might be wise for you to indulge me. I simply go mad when someone ruins a good party mood.
The Winter Lady, Mab's heir to the title of Queen of Air and Darkness. Kind of a bitch. Twin sister of Sarissa. In Cold Days, it's revealed she became an agent of Nemesis and refused to be cured of the corruption. She killed Lily and was killed by Karrin. Her mantle was taken over by Molly.
Lady Molly Carpenter
Warlock. Apprentice. Winter Lady.
'Not everyone is so far over the edge they can't come back. Sometimes people just . . . just get lost. They just need someone to show them how to come back.'
Michael and Charity's oldest child, introduced as a wide-eyed preteen who gawked at Harry's every appearance; she soon develops into a rebellious teenager . . . with a talent for mental and illusion magic. She dresses like a goth and normally has multicolored hair, primarily because it drives Charity crazy. Her 'full' name is Margaret Katherine Amanda Carpenter.
As the results of the machinations of the Fae, Molly was turned from reformed warlock to the Faerie Lady of the Winter Court.
Narrates the short stories 'Bombshells' and 'Cold Case'.
The Leanansidhe, aka 'Lea'
'Spooky, crazy death Sidhe lady.'
My godmother was what she was — a being of violence, deceit, and the thirst for power. Her attitudes and reactions could not fairly be called inhumane.
Harry's fairygodmother. The second most powerful being in the Winter Court, next only to Mab. Genuinely cares about Harry, and for a long while tried her best to keep him safe . . . by turning him into a hound. Is strongly suspected to be batshit insane.
Sir Lloyd Slate
Sir Lloyd Slate
The Winter Knight. Slate is the Winter Queens' personal mortal hitman in Summer Knight. A drug addict, murderer, rapist, and general scumbag, Harry is unsure whether or not those were qualities that got him the job or if he got them from the job. In Summer Knight Slate joined forces with Aurora to get revenge on Maeve, who he had bad blood with. After the events of Summer Knight, Mab kept him prisoner and tortured him endlessly. In Changes, he was finally killed by Harry to take up the mantle.
The many previous Winter Knights who served Mab throughout history. Many are infamous killers known for their sheer brutality and cruelty. They include:

![]() Eldest Fetch
One of Mab's retainers, an old and powerful faerie known as a fetch: a shapeshifting creature that feeds on fear and serves as Winter's enforcers, assassins, and messengers. Most fetches assume forms of creatures or people that their targets fear, i.e. movie horror monsters in the modern era, but these are simply illusionary forms or constructs made of ectoplasm. Eldest Fetch, however, is old enough that he can shape his entire body to resemble the movie monster known as 'The Scarecrow': a massive, pumpkin-headed monster made out of old, supernaturally-powerful vines and roots covered in rags.
