I have no idea whether the elf is working alone. I hadn't really thought to wonder. I've never heard of an elf rebelling from his master, to be honest. I suppose it may have happened, but most of them seem so entirely self-enslaving that it's difficult to imagine one even conceiving the idea. Doubly so to imagine more than one elf in confederacy. Or that an elf would rebel against his master in order to follow another master's orders? I suppose stranger things happen in this world all the time.
I do find it unlikely that this elf's master is responsible for an attempt on Harry Marvolo's life, as his master would seem to be the Lord Protector himself.
Or. If that were true, it would certainly be a serious turn of events!
I don't know whether you meant to suggest any of those things, Alice. I may just be a bit punchy after this extra long day!
