I think the spirit of the word usage is clear enough to not go all hyperdictionary on us. An antagonist to a demon? I guess that could depend on your context and intent. Comedically, it could be just a human who is mean enough to give it a run for its money, but big-hearted enough to be likable. If you're going spiritual, the obvious answer would be an angel. Dramatically, it's hard to take a demon seriously as a character. From a horror perspective, the demon's natural enemy is anything religious, as there is inevitably some chant that will defeat it "forever" or at least entomb it until the sequel.
A little girl (about eight) who is actually only half-human, and the other half is demon; Lucifer's daughter. Maybe half witch/half devil. Maybe even half a sweetie girl/half devil. ???

I never knew it existed in Urban, but my understanding is that evilocity is a type and kind of evil potential that is relative to the situation in a kind of reciprocity to equal out and balance. ie: that the evil can not be strictly defined as evil because it's relative to a person's point of view. Such as, a child who thinks their parents are mean because they must do their homework.
Evilocity represents to me a more technical and scientific name for evil rather than casting it off as some kind of mystic notion of evil as in just Devil or Lucifer or whatever name you want to give to negative encounters with negative forces.
Evilocity represents to me more of a scope and range of evils with degrees like on a thermometer. As in, you hit one level of evilocity and not another. Categories, levels, degrees.... ratios according to context. That's how I perceive the word.

So context is important here.
I think you are answering my question with regards to context. I need to clarify it because currently, this demon is not perceived by me as "bad" in the sense that most people would see it. I'm not sure how to handle developing an antagonist to an antagonist. Especially, when he is experiencing a dramatic shift where he can't do his job properly.
An angel can't be his antagonist because positive energy is influencing him and making him sick and angels support his efforts anyways because he's necessary in the scheme of things. And another demon can't be his antagonist because they are together with him in collaboration and it's impossible.
Perhaps then the answer is, that the only plausible antagonist is someone who doesn't understand the "nature of things". Someone who sees him as completely evil and doesn't recognize what his role is and how it's necessary.
I think it could be any human being because who doesn't hate it when shit happens? But I think that it's becoming clear from these posts that a strong antagonist would be a child, or children that don't understand.

I think a child human fits the bill. And I think I know just who that might be.
