Isnt Seven actually a really nice guy?

Fluff

Seven is usually treated as the "True Villian" or megalomaniac or evil bad guy in the deadlock roster. At least compared to Ivy, Viscous and other "Good Guys" but isnt his reputation a lot worse than it should be?

  1. He willingly shares his advise with others that seem to need it (Graves for example, or abrams) even if he gets ridiculed for that.

  2. He is treating his allies cordial, showing respect and admiration. He shows way more social aptitude then other "good guys" that cant read the room (Viscous and Lady geist anyone?)

  3. He does pay respect to the people that made his way possible ( Dynamo for example)

  4. Despite being "a villian" he properly pays for the services he makes use of, and doesnt impose on other tenants. He even does proper comissions

  5. He was able to have a loving and emotional relationship with someone else, that only ended because he left him. Who can blame seven for being angry that upon reunion he seems to ghost (heh) him.

  6. He is even nice towards his (temporary) enemies. WHen he pops his ult, this so called "mass murderer" even warns them and gives friendly advise on how to avoid him. "Run while you can", "I'd hide if i were you", "RUN BEFORE ME"

Lets talk about his nebolous "apotheosis" the thing that apparently everyone wants to stop him from doing. ALl we get on it, is that it is a big word and that "With these hands i will destroy (during the ritual), with these hands i will rebuild". So its easy to assume it is something that is a net benefit to humanity. Something that repairs the world as the maelstrom tore it. In fact, you would need someone of god-like status to content and keep the winning patron in check. Like Atlas holding up the world.

Now compare all this with "good guys" like a Gargoyle that never formed her own opinion on anything, and only does what she does because of her spawnpoint. Or a Bookworm that is far too occupied with her own romance world. Just look how rude and uncomfortable she is..

Compared to that, isnt Seven just really a very motivated, very principled and ambitious guy, that knows how to talk to whom and when, and that is concerned with others when they get themself in danger they cant see yet.
