Y me, am I doushbag?
Everyone hates Chronius… Lol… He's considered a bad guy in the Bluzone. I think it's because of some situations that didn't pan out for him, some rumors, first impressions, prejudices, and the members of his group.
Personally I really really like the fact that everyone sees him as a bad guy but you, because it makes it kind of tragic. It's like he's just a guy who lost everything, and he's trying to help now, but he makes bad decisions along the way, and everyone judges him to be a bad man. He seems very human for an antagonist and I love it. He legitimately thinks he's a good person. He's not just a crazy freak who kills for fun. These kind of villians are dumb. I suggest you embrace this role as a villian who thinks he's good. Just a misunderstod guy who makes unknowingly bad decisions, or has a temper or something… In the apocalypse, we're all just people with different values, thus making some of us bad guys in others' eyes.
This would make Chronius' death if/when it happens tragic; not a celebration. We would contemplate our morals and who's really right. We would mourn the passing of a lost man who didn't deserve death… But had to die…
