I want you to find the nearest bottle of bleach and pour it upon your head. Make sure you scrub well behind the corneas and along the hippocampus. Don't rinse, you may leave a remnant.

The notion was fanon based upon the mention of Allen being slightly influenced by the Demon of Vanity. In the novel, it is made clear that this slight arrogance manifested in his pride at his devotion to Rilane and possibly also with his effort in keeping up the ruse (he notes how he refuses to be the one who actually halts the charade when confronted by Germaine). On that same note, he is also shown to swallow his pride and show humility in many cases, and his outward thinking for others seems to be more of his positive virtues rather than his pride.

The concept of "good" pride was removed due to lackin gany substantial evidence to support it, with the Evils Kingdom booklet noting "faithfulness", not "Vanity" or "Pride", to be the subtitle to The Servant of Evil. If you are wondering what Irregular's sins are (since it seems all but certain he is Allen), I would say his sins are murder or the indirect manslaughter of thousands of people. While all these actions had good, loving intentions, killing a life is still killing a life and arguably his undying loyalty led to the deaths of many by his hand or not. Granted how that fits into the whole magical song healing him and the whole nine yards, I can't say.

Just keep that "he shared the sin with his sister" theory and all it's sub-theories out of your head.
