Like I said I don't know this character besides a few people taking about him. Well, maybe, but I recall no such moment of remorse or insecurity.

And as to your noting that Epps went above and beyond as far as being an abusive slave owner, I could say the same about Hux: that he may have been raised to be a First Order zealot and a believer in it, but he has gone above and beyond by among other things blowing up multiple planets at a time. So even if he was raised to think the First Order's way was correct, he was still exceptionally cruel.

Finally, Finn was brought up to be a First Order fanatic, and he chose to reject it, showing that it's possible and that these people still have free will. Hux has made no such similar choice.
