We havent. Not in canon or here.
I suspect the closest you can come are half-Red sorcerers, who probably still count as mortals.
We are told in Cold Days that the White Council thinks Winter has only 50k troops.
This is when Harry sees Winter's armies at the Outer Gates and realizes just how many troops they have at the Outer Gates.
This is the White Council's assessment, and the Council is not all-knowing, even if they like to put on airs.
I doubt the Gates are the only place Winter have troops.

Yeah, political paralysis was certainly a factor.
And it was something the Reds were counting on, since they were the ones who helped Nfect Lea.
They could say much the same about mortals
This is inaccurate.
It was a planned ambush of the Red Court army that had attacked a White Council facility.
Lily planned it with Maeve, for that matter; Maeve used a time warp to isolate Winter for some time, allowing Lily to pull Summer's border forces off the border with Winter and go beat on the Red Court for an evening.
Yes, Maeve was Nfested at the time.
Yes, it means the Outsiders were willing to sacrifice the Red Court and their war right then in order to get an in with Lily.
Remember, Evil will happily backstab other Evil for advantage.
The Fae are immortal, and do not work to mortal time frames. Same with a lot of other supernaturals.
This is a point that is repeatedly made in the Dresden Files, when Nicodemus holds a favor for a thousand years before cashing it in, where the Starborn cycles go on for centuries and millenia.
Why would they rush? They have time, and allies to consult.
And both Courts had infiltrators to deal with before they could get loud.
The entire period of the books has only taken 12-14 years so far; thats not long by even mortal timelines.
There's a lot of shit happening that our PoV character isnt seeing in canon. Keep that in mind.
