User blog comment:StevenTheKing/PE Proposal: D'Spayre (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/@comment-1705775-20190620191507

"One day, however, he started suffering exceedingly painful migraines and had to stop playing jazz altogether. Feeling like he had nothing else to live for, he tried to commit suicide, but a nearby explosion prevented that " <-- driven to near-sucide is a pretty big tragic backstory and thus sympathy is usually meant to be given, however like serial-killers and sociopaths sometimes their crimes later in life can erase that tragedy.. however it is stated he's doing it to relieve his own pain.. which makes him akin to a parasite or vampire.

then again he's based off of a character that would easily be PE in the comics if it was not "made of evil" so it's a YMMV thing for this guy it seems.
