It was a huge mistake for Marcone to try to buy off Harry, he should have left him alone, and certainly shouldn’t have soul-gazed him.
By signing onto the Accords it gave Marcone a degree of protection against the White Council so again Harry influenced Marcone far more than the other way round.

I'm thinking eventually Marcone will regret taking up the coin. While he will love the power that it gives him, he loves calling the shots even more. He is a mob boss after all, yes, I see some partnership between him and Namshiel, but in the end it is the Fallen that call the shots. That is a trap that Harry avoided only in my opinion because of that accidental soul gaze back in Death Masks that he had with a Denarian. That is what kept his will strong against Lasciel's influence once he realized what was going on in his head. I had read somewhere that originally Jim had thought about making Marcone a Holy Knight at some point but changed his mind. I had thought that was a possibility as well, but the signals changed and it was clear that it would be Butters at some point. I still think it is possible that Marcone will be redeemed in some way before the end.
Conspiracy Theorist:
What if it’s the other way round? Marcone redeems Namshiel causinghis Fallen stays to be reversed.

That would also be redemption for Marcone as well, wouldn't it? However I am not sure if one of the Fallen can be redeemed. :-\ Harry came as close to anybody in pulling it off when he influenced the Shadow of Lasciel became to Lash, but Lasciel didn't change, if anything she got worse. I think in the case of Fallen Angels, it is up to the Almighty..

Namshiel would seem to be an agent of Lucifer and he owns Marcone since he actually took up the coin. Mab never forgets and Harry made sure she knows. Marcone is a drug dealing murdering monster who is more or less beyond redemption. Unless he gets a sword and gives up his criminal empire. Does anybody see that as a possible path forward?
What seems obvious to me is that all mortals are now off the playing field. Hendricks is gone. Murphy is gone. Justine is the face of Nemesis. The Cops are now the Men in Black, Chicago PD is now a farm team. Bring the Supernatural or go home seems to be the new mantra.
TrueMonk:
Or bring the army. I think it was a point made several times in battle ground that large groups of armed people are dangerous. The army being the clearest example, but also the volunteers and the gang neighborhoods.
