TrueMonk:
I think Listen is the sort of ice cream who brings his own freezer along, he seems very survival oriented so I can't imagine we have seen the last of him.
I think King Corb is salty bacon ice cream, the person making it thinks it is a great idea, but it is definitely bad taste.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Titan protected Listen from Corb, but Corb was incompetent, so I expect Listen survived and left a nice little present for Corb something poisonous or explosive or both under a contingency plan or plans.
Corb in not a vanilla mortal or former vanilla mortal so he can’t be in the ice cream game I am afraid he’s an entirely different kettle of fish. You start vanilla but end up some other flavour of mortal.
Father Forthill is another vanilla mortal, no powers no special status but he is so good at being mortal it almost hurts, he is the vanilla ice cream milkshake of mortals.
Chandler is of course Earl Grey Ice Cream (which is very nice).
Molly started as a vanilla mortal before coming into her power and the Mantle, now she is a Baked Alaska.

I agree that Father Forthill is good, so good that he might be strawberry.. ;)

That's just propaganda of the Fallen; there is no "equality." It isn't even close.
The Fallen can overwhelm their hosts whenever they want.
But sometimes -- if the Fallen get lucky -- they can find a host who is closely-aligned with their own interests and their own preferred M.O. that they don't need to. They just nudge a bit, occasionally. The Master of Shadows has found in Nic a human who just naturally prefers playing the long game, and working by indirection and misdirection.
Remember, the Fallen are straight out of Christianity: their *entire* motivation is the damnation of human souls... but repentance and redemption are always on the table. Anduriel is working on damning as many as he can, but also on making Nicodemus Archleone too self-loathing to ever even seek redemption. Nic's chief sin seems to pride, & Anduriel manipulates him masterfully (as in, puppetmaster).

As I said, because of that accidental soul gaze early on in Dead Beat with a Denarian, it is a trap that Harry didn't fall into when Lasciel's Shadow was in his head.. Well, maybe not so accidental, Higher Powers at work maybe? Marcone on the other hand could very well have fallen for that trap, thinking that he will continue to run the show now that he has taken up Namshiel's coin.
