I tend to play either good guys or monsters who think that they are doing what is best for the world. Of all my characters at present, I think that Mr Sleete is the most ambiguous. I confess that I am never sure in my mind whether he is a hero or a villain or, to put it another way, whether he is good man who does bad things or a bad man who occasionally does good things. Without any doubt, he is a sociopath with no empathy for others who regards killing as merely another option. He gains no pleasure from the same but he equally has no guilt. He understands that there are consequences to these actions but even when it turned out that a woman and child starved to death as the result of one of his fairly casual killings of a 'bad man', he shrugged and regarded it merely as an unfortunate result. He actually regards his lack of emotions as a positive asset and tends to blame everything that goes wrong within Lost Society as a result of people just Although he claims that everything he does is to protect the Free Lost and innocent victims, his crusade against fetches has everything to do with the fact that his fetch was a far better husband and father than Mr Sleete could be, even before he was taken to Arcadia. I suspect that there are quite enough people who do not like him to give him an accurate description as a cold-hearted arrogant bastard who refuses to see his own flaws whilst contemptuously noting the failings of others. He would lay down his life to save any of the Lost of London and, indeed, fully expects to do so. You do not become a Bellringer and a Dragonslayer in the hope of retiring to a set of slippers and beekeeping in Sussex.
Most kind, I believe there might be a nice place alongside that Mr. Holmes. :-) Unfortunately, there are still far too many people to be protected for now - so many enemies, so few bullets.
