It surprises me to say it, but I can actually see bad old CC actually doing the right thing that way, maybe half for Billy, half because it’s right, and half because he’s got a lot of guilt for some nasty choices he’s made in other areas of his life. It adds another interesting dimension to Billy’s choice not to shoot him too.
I’ve always tended to see CC as an evildoer with the one good point of caring about Billy, though. Not sure if I could ever see him as something other than a swindler-demagogue, but I can see how it could make for an interesting twist. Destro and the Baroness’s involvement in his org would also make more sense that way, and I’m sure Storm Shadow would have an easier time rationalizing his time with them as well.
