When trying out another mud with an alignment system, I found that this alignment described him near perfectly:

"Aberrant characters, quite literally, value honor above all else. They
are perfectly willing to use force and intimidation to reach their goals,
and they are capable of backing up their threats with action when necessary.
They do not enjoy the act of killing in itself, but do find pleasure in
killing for the sake of revenge or honor. Aberrant people tend to be
very fair and loyal friends, but are swift and harsh when dealing with those
who are against them. They make the greatest allies, and the worst enemies."

Basically, as someone said, evil characters don't see themselves as evil, so he is, of course, always doing "the right thing", no matter how horrible it may be.

"You do what you must, but only when it is necessary."

"... is extreme, and utterly calm."

In public, he is charming and amiable, a true noble. Yet his actions outside the public eye can be horrific, and truly sickening. If something needs to be done, he gets it done, with little regard to how harsh his actions are. In fact, the harsher the action, the more affect it will have on someone, so perhaps this way of dealing with things is preferred.

People do know of the actions of his family in the past, and recent events have been linked to him as well, so there is already a sense of fear and tension when dealing with him. I truly loved the conversation with Duke Llywarch. You both did a great job at getting your true beliefs and intentions across without breaking the sort of "silent rules" of the nobility. So, he can be evil and noble at the same time. *grin*

He is aware of the fact that people do not think highly of him and his actions, though he still remains cordial. He doesn't see his actions as "wrong", merely beyond the norm. Most people will be wary around him, even when he is acting obliging, pleasant, and helpful. In the future, he will inevitably let his true colors show. He will expect others to treat him differently, to hate and despise him. And if they warrant his wrath, he will let them taste it. Otherwise, he's a pretty nice guy... right?
