Dina:
No. He was just a mortal when he became a baron, I believe. And what can he do that is worse? Magic.

And all that rigamarole that Jim rolled out about him being the first mortal member of the accords turns out to be bs.

You can always get worse. Before the series is over he will loose all rules he set for himself, the protection of children and the loyalties to his own people. He lost Hendricks and he will loose The respect of Gard.
Corruption is the main goal of the fallen. That is what they are, that is their purpose. Namshiel can only express himself via Marcone. He wants to use him to corrupt Marcone and everyone else. Taking his time if necessary.
They can’t stop. It took Anduriel some time to make Nicodemus kill his daughter. Even his descent is not finished yet.
--- Quote --- Lasciel laughed, musically, the sound of it pure pleasure on the ears. “Oh, Harry,” she said. “Did you really think that it’s possible to pick up corruption in a nice clean handkerchief and lock it away in a box? No, of course not. Forces such as we cannot be contained by mortals, my lover. We are a part of you all.”

Of course Marcone has free will. He still can choose differently and the knights will ask him to do so. But it is not very likely.
Arjan:

I think he can make some good guesses. It was last seen in Michael’s hands so it is either in his house or on Harry’s island. Both are out of his direct reach.
Dina:
Thanks TWG

He can get more personal, for lack of a better word... You know wave his hand, say the magic word and incinerate a full day care center.. This is stuff that Namshiel can do, that vanilla Baron Marcone couldn't do with a wave of his hand.
