I thought that Tritter was actually more sympathetic than Vogler in many ways (but that's probably because I don't admire businessmen). He is the Javert of the House universe. He was trying to put someone away that he believed to be dangerous and became obsessed with that goal. He was, imo, JUST LIKE HOUSE in his willingness to do whatever it took to win (put away a criminal vs. save a patient).
And that is a good point. I do think he believed House was dangerous and he did become consumed by that goal. I do think he thought he was fighting for some sort of justice in his goal, and did have a determination similar to House.
You know, now I'm curious if when Tritter was younger, if he wasn't the sort that was often pushed around by people who were bigger/stronger than him, and developed some of his personality traits as a result of that?
Javert is the dude in Les Miserables who is determined to recapture a man who was sent to prison decades ago for stealing a loaf of bread.
Anyway, yes, as you say, I think that Tritter believed he was doing the right thing in going after a drug-addicted doctor (one who had, in fact, broken the law) who had treated him badly and could well pose a danger to his patients.
