Although I usually avoid alignment threads, I'd say chaotic neutral.

"'Good' implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings..." --- Nope.

"People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment too make sacrifices to protect or help others..." --- Closer.

"'Evil' implies hurting, oppressing, and killing others. Some evil creatures simply have no compassion for others and kill without qualms if doing so is convenient." --- Bingo.

Likewise:

"'Law' implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority..." --- Nope.

"'Chaos' implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility." --- Perhaps.

"Someone who is neutral with respet to law and chaos has a normal respect for authority and feels neither a compulsion to obey nor a compulsion to rebel." --- Yup.

Therefore, I'd say he's Neutral Evil, though a very good example of how a neutral evil character can still be heroic.

Another Vote for Chaotic Neutral (with the ocasional evil tendencies)

I didn't care for the film...let's just leave it at that.

Chaotic Neutral, having been leaning more toward Chaotic Evil in his past.

 

[Dirigible]

Lawful Diesel.

From the evidence, Neutral Evil.

Interesting. Personally I was leaning more toward Vin Neutral, myself.
