Wouldn't he have tried before to gain such an incredible asset previously?

I suspect he and Kincaid's history is more to do with Drakul to be honest.

The real question is why would the Venatori work with him? They know how horrific he is.

Yeah Kincaid's history probably has to do with Drakul. The Denarians consistently referred to him as Hell Hound, but thats still just 2 steps removed from the Venatori either way.

As for why the Venatori would work with him. You're assuming the Venatori are doing it for humanitarian reasons, as Thomas explained to Bob. They just don't like the competition.

Using Nicodemus wouldn't in and of itself be abhorrent to them.

Sometimes to get a job done, you need a monster.  The only thing the Venatori would care about is Nicodemus and his dedication to defeating the Old Ones.  If the Venatori know for certain that Nicodemus/Anduriel are completely against the Old Ones, then his Intelligence, resourcefulness, and ruthlessness would be seen a valuable asset. 

Mab is a monster too, but Harry is beginning to see she's a necessary monster, and the Venatori might see Nicodemus the same way.
