How about the whole killing the good guy father? I don't remember the name of anyone already lol. But he also make a cop died while releasing his "archangel" lol.

So killing, raping, what else he needs to be considered a bad guy? The sister was also evil, but not on the same level.

thing is it all happened latter in the show... he killed 1 guy as a child, but that 1 guy was trying to kill his sister.

than he was portrayed as a totally nice guy around after it occurred to him he was/possessed by a demon.

then we found out he raped before that, but it didnt fit with his character at the beginning of the story.. most likely did under the demons influence as well.

I dont remember if it ever was confirmed if he IS a demon or there is a demon in him - at one point he said he is the devil to that other father figure of a priest of his, but I was under the impression it is the latter, it make more sense that way.. he was a good guy, but the demon ate up his human side until only the demon left. he wanted to help people at the beginning, and tried to commit suicide after he lost his faith in god when the asian kids died, and pretty much turned into Satan around halfway.

Scudder didnt look like a bad guy either until the demon took control and he ripped that guy apart.

He was the Avatar of darkness. He may have been a good man on his human side, but the darkness, like a disease, gradually ate him up.
