Malos was a tricky sort. On the one hand, he made himself very easy to hate, by being obnoxious both personally and professionally and espousing the ideals of a massive nihilist with no respect whatsoever for humanity - yes, the group as a whole wasn't intrinsically deserving of respect, but wasn't each individual person, until proven otherwise? Malos seemed to have quite the knack for sweeping them all into the same scummy bin.

On the other hand, he had a peculiar hapless charm to him that peeked out in the most unexpected moments, making Addam wonder...
