"That Stunt with Mab"
Arjan:
Harry to Mab and Marcone in Skin Game:
--- Quote ---“And you dealt him the worst pain you could imagine. You took away his daughter. No, you did even worse—you made him do it himself.”
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---“Now he’s lost his lieutenant,” I continued. “He’s lost his squires. When word gets out of his treachery, he’ll lose his name. No one will want to work with him. No one will deal with him. From where you’re standing, you’ve done worse than kill him. You’ve wounded him, strangled his power, and left him to suffer.”
--- End quote ---
And Mab agrees:
--- Quote ---“Do you have a point, my Knight?”
--- End quote ---
Avernite:
So... Mab is there to confirm Marcone pulled it off, but steps to the side to make it seem she didn't make it all happen.
What's her play in doing that? Repaying a debt to Marcone, or gaining leverage over him?
Mira:
--- Quote ---Because I mean, Nic got what he wanted, no one on Harry's crew managed to die. That's...basically it.

I don't think he did. He may have claimed he wanted the Grail, but in my opinion his real aim was the Spear. If Michael is right, and he usually is about these things, under the heading of "be careful
for what you ask for you may get it," Nic getting the Grail may backfire on him. In other words the Grail may lead to his redemption, not a bad thing but not what he was after at all.
Arjan:
As Harry said to Vadderung, what he claims to be his goal is certainly not his real goal.

--- End quote ---
Everybody got something. Marcone got revenge for his kidnapping and he got cred by his association with the real power players. Uriel, Mab, Vadderung and Hades. And they put the weapons Harry pilfered in the hand of their pawn, Harry.
