What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

He has a tragic backstory, as his father would force him to work long hours as a child and would abuse him relentlessly. He would then experience the death of his six-year-old brother, Edmund, which was stated to have caused a decline in his mental health. Following this, as a young adult, he spent time in and out of homeless shelters and struggled to make ends meet, which is strongly implied to have been what caused him to develop his hateful ideologies.
He deeply loved both his mother and his brother Edmund, both of whose deaths caused him great sadness.
He had genuine friendships with his fellow soldiers in World War I, finding purpose there, and he was even shown dragging an injured comrade back to the trenches at one point.
