The fact that our lonely, cowardly Sir Pentious...

...100+ years in Hell, where compassion and vulnerability are exploited and treated as a target to prey on...

...still stood up to his lab partner the second he witnessed the cruelty of his experiments.

Baxter is shrewd and cold hearted enough to aspire to be an Overlord and work at Voxtec. He's not afraid to trample on others to achieve his goals.

Because you have to be ruthless to the core, emotionally detached, cruel, if you want to be a big shot in Hell. Otherwise, you'll be treated as a joke, and left in the dust.

By saving the Egg Boiz, Pentious clearly showed, without any trace of doubt, that he could never be Overlord material, too emotional and compassionate to belong with them. He left the chance to possibly change his reputation, so he could do the right thing and put the Egg Boiz to safety.

Leaving broke his heart, but he still did the moral thing and took his leave to do his own thing with Cherri and the turf wars, away from a place where he now knew he couldn't belong to.
