User blog comment:X9 The Android/PE Proposal: Armando Salazar/@comment-27022982-20190831053911

Having thought about this more, it sounds like Salazar killed his father because the latter was accepting bribes from pirates and was a very corrupt man, which, IMO, paints him (somewhat) as a Well-Intentioned Extremist. I think that whether or not Salazar qualifies as PE all comes down to the reason why he killed his own father.

However, it sounds like he also did it to avenge his mother, who would be at least one person Salazar truly did care about. I'll change my vote to undecided but could potentially lean to a no because, while he is heinous enough because he always left only one person alive to tell the tale (which Beckett and Blackbeard didn't do), he seemes to have cared about his mother. I've only watched the film and have not read the novelization, so I am unsure on this now.
