I recall back when Juliette first became introduced to the world of Wesen, she asked if Nick was Wesen and Monroe, Rosalee and Bud were all adament that he wasn't.

I thought Conrad said Nick, as a Grimm, was a part of their (Wesen) world, since the history of Grimms and Wesen have been interlocked from the start.

As for Nick, I imagine by now he has gotten quite a bit of a reputation in the Wesen world since he is friends with Wesen and doesn't kill them for being who they are. Sean's brother Eric described him as being untraditional (from previous Grimms) and effective. Certainly after all the Wesen lives he has encountered/saved word would spread of such a Grimm who could be trusted by Wesen. The Wesen Council approached Nick at least once, asking him to stop someone in that Egyptian-themed episode. In the Christmas episode with those Greek kids and the very one where Adalind revealed to Nick she was pregnant with Kelly, there were Wesen who told Nick they had heard of him.

So perhaps that has something to do with Black Claw wanting to recruit Nick, though I would find it odd since they had previously targeted him and tried to kill him (before Eve saved him), and they had kidnapped Monroe's friend Xavier to get information on Monroe and Nick. Furthermore, if they are targeting Wu and Hank, and given they have already forced Adalind to take Kelly and leave Nick, they are not really doing much that would win Nick over, unless like Adalind they want to threaten those he cares for to force him to cooperate.
