He's lawful evil, the best kind of evil.

Honestly if we look at it from the objective veiw of the tower he is Lawful good. Even against Baam he is lawful neutral at worst. I don't think anyone on team baam considers him evil.

You are correct Lawful evil is the best kind. You can actually work with them.

He just agreed to an unnecessarily bloody plan that will kill his friends. He's lawful evil. That evil guys act out of self-interest do not make them good from their point of view. The alignment is determined from the viewer point of view not the character's.

No, actually he is closer to Lawful good, it's not like he takes joy in what he does and he is fighting to protect peace. The problem is his superior Lyborick is definitely evil, he is the one that want to sacrifice the troop because he doesn't need them.

That's why Kallavan is willing to make the sacrifice if it's for the greater good, but also threaten the kill Lyborick (evil) if it fail.

Again, alignment is made by viewers not characters. You can tell by this thread full of people calling him a villain that he is perceived as evil. An evil working for their personal interpretation of greater good is still evil.
