What would be a counter to Carlos?

Why? Nicodemus already has a far more potent and knowledgeable spirit. What could he possibly need Bob for that Anduriel couldn't do?
I don't think Nic has designs on godhood either. Doesn't seem to need it. And as Mab points out, it comes with restrictions.
morriswalters:
Not everybody Nic comes in contact with has an Anduriel. They might settle for a Ford, or Bob as it were.

I don't quite follow. Are you saying he might give Bob to one of his allies? I can't see him giving it to a Denarian. He wouldn't want them getting any stronger, but also any of the Fallen are probably by and large far more knowledgeable than Bob.
He might gift Bob to Mab or Cowl...assuming that's possible, and assuming he knows they would want him.
Arjan:
He keeps Bob for himself. There are so many things he can do with such a resource. Just like Lasciel wants to have Bonea:
--- Quote --- “Meaning that since a whisper in your ear that should have killed you seems to have failed, I intend to skip the subtlety, rip your head apart, and collect our child. She’s far too valuable a resource to be allowed to die with you.”
--- End quote ---
Bob is more powerful.

Harry can shield better. And is stronger in almost every way.... Carlos has skill enough...but it wouldn't even be a fight.
--- End quote ---
I didn't say they would fight, but I do think it's going that direction.
I know you hate it but I'm going by words of jim. He said that Carlos's style is the kind to defeat Harry. He said that Harry vs Carlos would be like the Olympic fencer vs the Olympic weight lifter.
I think Harry would ultimately win, and should win, but Jim doesn't want him to be Silver age Superman who's unbeatable. Jim also said he used D&D style talents for his characters. So Harry has certain buffs, and weaknesses just like everyone else. Carlos just happens to match up well against Harry because of his particular style of magic.
