You see their arguments begin to sway him the regrets & doubt... And then you see the Pride sweep in, and lock him onto his path... Pride, of course, being the defining sin of the Fall, and a key recurring element of Nic's as he has faced Harry through the years.
Nic is given so much free rein because he has bought in to Anduriel's agenda as his own: Nic does the stuff Anduriel wants, on his own initiative; Anduriel never needs to use the Big Stick, because bunny-Nic is happily eating the carrot out of his hand...

Exactly, that is the trap that Lasciel tried to set for Harry saying that he'd be "partners" with her like Nic and Anduriel and not her slave, but Harry didn't fall for it.. Or perhaps more to the point after that soul gaze the first time he met up with the Denarians back in Death Masks, he didn't buy the idea that any partnership with one of the Fallen could be equal and free.

I can buy that.

both Lloyd Slate and Fix did not seem to be wizards.
So they could probably not do as much with the mantles as a wizard or sorcerer can.

Mab would not have put all that effort into recruiting Harry if every bloke on the street would do.

Exactly, and Slate is proof enough of that. A mere bloke is malleable, the job and an insane Lady shapes him and he becomes a mere killer which is counter productive. Where as it is Harry that does the shaping, and though capable of killing he is no killer and is of use to Mab.
