I disagree. I think what’s scary about him is he’s this young, good-looking kid with a Gosh-gee-whillikers-Pa! air, who even really respects authority- it’s just that he’s evil as fuck, and the authority he respects is those who run evil empires, not the cop around the corner. These brief touches of compassion- being chivalrous to (powerful, evil) ladies and protecting Walt’s life- are what make him so terrifying, because there IS a code there… it’s just so warped it’s more terrifying than no code at all, and it makes it much harder to predict his behavior than your average Chaotic Evil Nazi.
