In some ways Aro can be perceived as just as much of a “good person” as Carlisle is.

Think about it.

For instance in turning people. Carlisle has turned people who were dying and suffering to save them, and so has Aro.

But Carlisle didn’t put his own life at risk to save them. When Aro rescued Alec and Jane from being burned alive, he threw himself into the fire. There’s no way he wouldn’t have caught on fire himself, be it his clothes or his body, by doing that. Vampires are flammable af. Given that vampires have battle scars, I’d say it’s highly likely Aro has burn scars from doing that. He risked paying the ultimate price doing something he didn’t even know would work. The twins could’ve still died.

And don’t get me started on the benefit the Volturi have had on the world since taking power. Human health, safety, population growth… vampires as well in not having to constantly avoid war and displeasing the rulers of the land… I think I have a whole post on this buried deep on my blog. But yeah. Aro is a good man, despite what he portrays himself as and probably thinks himself to be, because even though his motivations are selfish, the outcome of his actions has been positive.
