What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- In the hope to fulfill his creators dream he planned to awaken E.N.D. the most powerful demon created by Zeref and used his name to create the dark guild Tartaros, by united many of demons created by Zeref. As the acting leader of Tartaros and a member of the Balam Alliance (the top three strongest dark guilds), he is responsible for all the atrocities his guild has committed to the point that it could rival the other two.
- Has his followers slaughter all their subordinate dark guilds. Sought gain Face (a weapon from the magic council) in order to destroy all magic in the continent in order to awaken END and kill Acnologia but not for altruistic reasons.
- Ordered his nine demon gates such as Jackal kill all members of the magic council current and former in order to awaken Face. Leading to many civilian deaths as well who were caught in the crossfire or just because the demons enjoyed killing humans in the pastime.
- Sought to commit genocide on humanity, seeing them as an inferior species, and replace them with demons.
- Tortured his subordinate Kyoko for torturing Erza, not because he felt sympathy but because he believed that torturing Erza meant that Kyoko felt fondness for humans, even if it was out sadism.
- Activated Alegria to have their headquarters Cube swallow their enemies but also their subordinates as pointed out by Kyoka, admitting he doesn’t care.
- Ordered all his followers to kill Lucy which nearly gets her killed and forces her to sacrifice her Aquarius key in order to summon the Celestial Spirit King to help her.
- Fights Sting, Rouge and Natsu while developing a sense of sadism admitting to understanding why Kyoka enjoys torturing them.
- Fights Gray and activates Memento Mori, a curse made specifically to kill Zeref and would not only kill but erase the existence of any of his victims, and would have succeeded if not for Gray inheriting his father's Devil Slayer Magic.
- Overall he is one of the darkest and most dangerous enemies Fairy Tail has ever faced. He and his guild were responsible for many civilian deaths and are responsible for one of the darkest and most serious arcs in the series.
