"Warn" him that some people might believe so (while others would think the opposite, or consider it unaligned). And especially ask him: Would he like his Paladin to "fall" (and possibly redeem himself later)? The "Fall" of a Paladin is a strong theme, after all. Maybe your player would like to explore it in the campaign. You don't have to do much to accommodate it - just highlight situations where he has a choice between mercy and death/torture/brutality, or offer him situations where he can align himself with evil to fight a greater evil.</blockquote>
