Right, they hit me with a bunch of those "it's a fate worse than death" things, even though I can't find any evidence to support that other than his wife chimera wanting to die. I even asked if the chimera was in so much pain, why did it want to play and even get upset when Edward started beating Shou up? And considering the other complete monsters are Father (who literally wanted to kill God and an entire country) and the Gold-Toothed Doctor (who killed hundreds of people in trying to make the perfect Homonculus), a dude that did some immoral experiments using his family is bad, but nowhere NEAR those guys. Even the events are kind of a one-shot thing and don't have a massive impact on the overall story or characters. Then add in the fact that you never actually see him doing the transmutations (offscreen villainy), the fact that he gives Nina a sad hug before transmuting her (possible remorse), and the fact that he seemed more forced into his actions than having a choice, and I don't agree with him being pure evil. However, don't tell the TVTropes guys that, or they will be on you like flies on poop.
