He used the exact same words that his Phantom Six said to get Gina on his side - talking about the Pyramid game and how he would have loved to watch it with her. Evil people have relationships, too, and they will motivate them to act - but he manipulated and lied to her for his own self-interest. That alone doesn't make him evil, but put all things together, I think he is evil. ....When Six tells Baltar about the cylon manipulations to his program - the first thing he really thinks about is how it affects him perosnally - he doesn't think about friends, about Six, or anything else - he wants to call his lawyer to get him out of the situation. Purely egoistical reaction.This scene might also indicate he is chaotic, in the way that he doesn't like take responsibility, seeing it as something endangering his freedom. He doesn't want to make responsible for the genocide of the human race. In later episodes, he uses "gods will" as his way to give the responsiblity to someone else than him(it doesn't really matter wether Phantom Six is an angel, a Cylon implant or Baltars crazyness - after some initial complaints, he is perfectly willing to accept his role given by god). He also changes his sex partners a few times in the series, never committing to any of the relationships. The way he manipulates people might also show chaotic behaviour - he basically talks Boomer into suicide, but he never makes a decision or takes any responsibility for it. Still, there are also a few situations in which he takes responsibility - he kills Crashdown to stop a suicidal mission (which might have egoistical motives and isn't really a lawful act). He takes charge of Gina's safety (which might even be "good", though it still begs the questions if it was more for his benefit or hers...)</blockquote>
