He gleefully tortures dozens of other programs, to the point where ''[[LudicrousGibs voxels]]'' are scattered all around his chamber. He thinks nothing of helping a train filled with passengers, outright stating that he's fine with ''everyone'' dying on the train as long as it got rid of ''one person''. He killed a bunch of prisoners just to test out his new upgrade, laughing all the way. His worst moment was when he [[AndIMustScream transformed]] [[UngratefulBastard his ally]] into a SlaveMook, apparently out of frustration that he was essentially demoted minutes earlier. The only time it appeared that he had standards was ultimately subverted; he was alarmed that Tesler killed on his his soldiers, not because he was shocked at Teslers extremism, but because he was afraid that Tesler could do the same to ''him''. This is backed by Pavel himself later killing an underling just to take his DeadlyDisc. Not a single thing is likable or redeemable about the guy, and the finale isn't exactly all upbeat, either.show fully hammers it home every chance it gets.

** Many of the deaths involve bisection, severe impalement, getting gibbed, or getting chunks ripped out of them, and you can be sure that all of this is shown on screen. Torture is pretty vicious, too, involving bits of the program getting vaporized out. At one point, Beck is being boiled alive while strapped to a chair. The show gets away with this because, being programs, there's no flesh or blood, merely featureless bluish cubes.
