Kamilah literally said that this is not his redemption story, he does not get to become a hero, one good deed does NOT undo millenia of evil, massacres, manipulation, and pain, and when they're done he'll pay for his sins. And he continues to be a smug asshole. I think the definition of redemption is not like this at all. This is nowhere near a redemption.

It's not like he broke down crying that he didn't mean any of it and Rheya made him do everything. It is exactly how Kamilah said. "I know you. Rheya might have shaped you... but you were the man who made those choices. You were the man who caused so much pain. The Gaius that killed so many, the monster that made me... that was you." Rheya might've took his sympathy, empatthy, and compassion but people who lack that don't immediately turn evil. Even most psychopaths aren't violent mass murderers. He made his choices. And actually, he didn't even deny that. When Kamilah told him what I quoted and followed with "Tell me I'm wrong." he didn't protest. He knows what he did. He knows it very well.
