greenteengeniusAs a baby, he starts off as a brilliant but still normal kid in a lot of ways. (For example, he names himself Lyrl after his mother's friend Lyrissa in an attempt to please her, and admires and tries to learn from his father.)
Somewhere after he hits one year old, he goes berserk evil and massacres/mind controls the hell out of people. (Though again, he's emulating his father in doing this. Completely stole the mind control program from Vril. Also, even normal kids don't develop empathy before they hit age 2. See this blog post.)
Once lobotomized by his father, he turns into a normal, not-so-brilliant baby.
We next see him as a teenager, when he offers himself to the bad guy to protect some people he's just met. (Though, frankly, he was going to get kidnapped either way.)
He's threatened/joins of his own free will/is mind-controlled into helping to take control of the galaxy.
But then he helps overthrow the evil plot despite being (only somewhat?) mind controlled at the time.
In the process, he breaks his father's arm as a way of getting him out of danger, even though their relationship is pretty volatile.
He then attacks his home planet in a plot to suck his grandfather's head dry of its knowledge.
So, yeah. He is not a simple person. (People constantly altering his mind state with drugs/starfish doesn't help.) But I don't think he'd allow people to know he's crazypants, so if he comes off as an okay guy, good. He has been playing people since he was a baby. Though it's easier when you are SO PUDGY.
