The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Did I miss something...?
Conspiracy Theorist:
An unidentified magic user Denarian used Hellfire at Arctic Tor.
Thorned Namshiel’s archaic accent suggested he didn’t get out much. My theory is there is an unnamed Denarian who has been a double agent against Nick, a mole for Lucifer from day one. We have never seen all thirty. Nick suspects this, and one of the reasons for the two factions and the destruction of records is to hide that there may in fact be a small third faction working with the Black Council and Lucifer. Nick and the others are merely fall guys and distractions. Cowl may in fact be a rogue Denarian hiding his identity and that of his Fallen.
Namshiel I think was suspected which is why Nick rarely let him out to play, the Archive (being recruited by Lucifer and not really Nick) mean’t Nick had to break out even his suspected mole. He needed everyone and he needed a magical heavy hitter.

Mab's reaction to his name in the Chapel pretty much nails it down for me. But whatever.

I think she believes Namshiel is the mole. I'm not sure she's correct - she can misinterpret things, like Harry's motives toward Molly.
And if Tessa and/or Rosanna are the real Circle mole(s), they may have been expending considerable effort on setting Namshiel up as their fall guy.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I suspect Nick will at some point realise he has been played for millennia by Lucifer and at least one fellow Fallen as fall guys (pun intended) and misdirection. That may be enough for Nick and Anduriel to return to the White God, and perhaps bring the grail with them. That may have been one of his major past objectives, preventing the world seeing him as impotent.
Remember Mab didn’t know about Marcone and Namshiel, she doesn’t have an intellectus and her perspective is now quite alien making it difficult for her to assess human motivation.
And yes Namshiel may have been set up, learning about Arctis Tor when he had Namshiel in cold storage means he either had more than one mole or he had gotten the wrong Fallen.

I see Nic perhaps giving up the coin because he got what he asked for, the Grail. Andruiel won't go with him, he will remain one of the Fallen. And he has fallen pretty low as we saw at the end of Skin Game.
