He was committed to ridding the world of 'monsters', a somewhat loose term in his mind which certainly included aberrations & all -- yes ALL -- outsiders. How he achieved this didn't really matter to him; he'd follow the rules of society if doing so helped his mission by avoiding difficulties with the law, but he held absolutely zero respect for the 'authorities' (& recognized no hold on him from them). Though he did follow a secretive organization committed to the same goals, he had enough doubts about their motivations to keep him from being Lawful within the framework of a small group. While Neutral could be argued on that axis, Chaotic seemed to fit best from the viewpoint of society & the party.He certainly viewed the ultimate goal of his mission as good, but his commitment was so extreme that he was willing to sacrifice... even kill... innocents if the loss of a few allowed the 'greater good' of saving more (which is what he ultimately viewed 'destroying the monsters' as doing). For him, the tainting of his own spirit was an acceptable price to pay for his cause, so he'd use evil means to further a good end. Definitely not Good, not really Evil (he didn't favor evil means or anything, just wasn't afraid to go there if it presented the most efficacious solution) -- Neutral.Basically, he was Anita Blake with less morals & no friends to protect; Edward with a bit more purpose.</blockquote>
