I do find it funny that you're taking Behemo's word on him being benevolent when he is noted to be based on the Real Behemo, who is also someone who murdered someone and dismembered them. Over a dress. That doesn't exactly tell me he's a good person.

Also, I'd argue he manipulated Allen, as well, and he certainly toyed with others before revealing he's a guy (the incident with him following Allen in Jakoku, for example).

I don't like the revelation Mothy gave us because it seemed to contrdict everything about his character at that point, including no seeming remorse for his actions RE: Kiril especially, or even that he and Levia were a major cause to the end of an entire country and the deaths of thousands if not millions. (Also, I would argue that the text does kind of support him as a bit egotistic in Barisol's Child, as well as everything we know about the entire story around why fights broke out in the ark, too.)

I'm up to date on this canon. I do think it's a bit weird to take a guy who has every reason to omit things to make himself look better at his word (when he has lied before, and in fact his life in the Second Period was one GIANT lie) and not question if he might be hiding things in relation to himself. Will we ever know for sure? Not unless Mothy reveals otherwise, but the fact that he's taken as a 100% pure, unbiased source of information on himself does bother me when he manipulated Allen at points (and the fact that my fellow anon is ignoring that bothers me).

It's still text that Behemo fought on the side that was all pro-"we should rule over humanity as gods." Ignoring that aspect of him is disengnuous. Unless you really think he was just going along with Levia just because and not because he didn't agree with her. And to ignore that aspect even at the end feel like ignoring part of his character.
