Honestly found him one of the weakest of any keeps given plenty have more personal crimes and in expanded (now even future movies) others have done worse and where others have destroyed worlds (before and after the Death Star). It's one MEH which wasn't even unique in the series given later info from the now non-canon EU and newer movies. I found him kind of cog in the machine in a lot of ways, that said I hear he does some more in the shows and novels which makes me say he likely counts albeit not the strongest keeper in the franchise (Palpatine and Vitiate the easiest keepers by far).
