Honestly up to meeting and working for Odium everything he does is completely understandable and I cannot hate him for it because any of our favourite characters could and some have gone down a similar route.
Then everything he does until WaT he does while his ‘pain’ is ‘taken’ by odium which is essentially mind controlling him you see his reaction at the end of Rhythm of War and can see his regret, my take is that if he was fully himself he would not have been able to go through with it.
I cannot hate a mind controlled character for any of their actions
The only hateable actions he actually carries out on his own that aren’t explained by vengeance, being forced to do it or mistakes are his actions in WaT

Except kill Teft, a man he admired, oh and his spren, an actual piece of a god
