Good and evil have been the subject of extensive discussions within the human race since they acquired the use of reason, from the simple to the complex. The human race never stopped debating about the meaning of these words; it was in their nature to find meaning in acts of kindness and cruelty of which they were capable.
Despite the length of human history, a consensus had never been reached for these words, and at most, a vague standard of judging individual acts as good or bad was reached.
In other words, even today, good and evil are relative. So that begs the question, was Desmond Astryd a good or a bad person? The answer was that he was neither.
Was Desmond Astryd any good? All the blood on his hands would probably make a good enough case to disprove such a thing. Desmond had long since crossed a line from betrayal and deception to murder and torture that no intrinsically good person should cross.
