User blog:Scout1534/Pure Evil Removal Proposal: Isaac Taft

There's never actually been a discussion of whether Isaac Taft is pure evil or not. Is he truly heinous enough?

I was the one who first created the page, and I put him in that Category. Back when it was called, "Complete Monster." But now, I am not 100% sure if it's accurate.

Who is he?

He is a villain from Lost Girl Season 3. He committed brutal and horrific experiments on the Fae.

Heinousness

We've never seen them, but he has caused the deaths of countless Light and Dark fae alike. One of these examples was forcing two brutal enemies to fight each other, (like Wolf-Shifters and Lupercus), and then bringing them back to life so they could do it all over again. He was even the one who carried away Bo's mother Aife. On top of it all, he wants to make himself a Fae. He even deceived Lauren into creating a serum that was used to kidnap Dyson so that he could take his DNA. And when Lauren tried to leave, Taft sadistically told her that no one would take her back.

Mitigating Factors

He does have a tragic past. When he was a kid, his little brother's head was taken by a Wendigo. Everyone assumed it was Isaac, so he was placed in a mental institution. When he was 21, he found out the truth and eventually he found and killed a Wendigo, and made it suffer, not even caring whether it was the same one. And at the time, he felt no pleasure. At first it seemed like he believed in advancing the Human race, but it was really an excuse to further his own aims of making himself more powerful.

Final Verdict I have to vote no. While his crimes were atrocious, the fact that he got punished for a crime he didn't commit was very tragic indeed. Of course, somewhere along the line, he did lose sight of it and started becoming egotistical, but his tragic past does have to be taken into consideration.
