Nicodemus wants to be God
groinkick:
Just a theory of mine.
According to Jim the BAT will be when humans know about the supernatural world. I think Nicodemus will use this to his advantage knowing people will be looking for a savior.
I think that Nicodemus wants the Holy relics to perform miracles, and vanquish evil (with Spear of destiny) for the purpose of worshipers on a global scale. He wants Christians to view him as the second coming of Christ, the Jews to see him as God coming to Earth, and same for Muslims. With the combined worship of these billions of people he'd probably be the most powerful thing out there besides maybe TWG. However because TWG and the angels don't violate free will, they will not intervene. At least not directly.
He will tell the world about how all the others (Sidhe, demigods, ect) are work of satan, and that he alone can save them. Not only will this elevate him, but also in theory would begin sapping the strength of the others as all forms of worship either directly, or indirectly are greatly diminished as Nicodemus commands his followers on how to worship, and not to worship.
This is what Nicodemus means by saving the world. He does want to save it. He just wants to be greater than God. He wants the world to love, and worship him.
Arjan:
The antichrist.
jonas:
More or less the anti-Christ in a way yes... I think it has to do with the specific rituals that tie the spirit of reality in place and the Yeat's poem the second coming plays around in it. The gyre in question creating an opposite mirror image of the actions and people of the last cycle of space/time. with two sides of the same coin choosing the opposing paths with different reasonings. Harry is more or less the antichrist in question... with Marcone being the dark mirror of TWC. But Nic totally wants to usurp the roles/powers of things I think, that or intentionally recreate a mirror image of the passion of TWC and steal the mojo for his evil self just like he did to Shiro.
Considering he wanted both the cup and specifically the knife, perhaps he wants to bleed a god or God?
wardenferry419:
Would bleeding an angel put Nico in touch with the power of TWG?

That has potential... Nick as Galadriel
Nicodemus: "ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!!!!"
You know.... It's probably a good thing he's not. Harry would have been killed by now if Nicky was a hot elf chick.
