Another instance of Inga maybe low-key not being quite as evil as he seems is the fact that he gave Maya all sorts of amenities, even as he held her captive. Also, when you examine his room, you can find a drawer full of unapproved execution papers, some dating back as far as five years, so perhaps a part of him didn't actually like sentencing people to death that he thought were innocent.

I mean don't get me wrong the dude was still evil. The game just paints him as a bit more gray than straight up black.

I usually use grey to describe doing bad things for a good (if misguided) reason, like the villain of Watchmen, or Jack Bauer, or Thanos (if you want to go there). From what we can tell, Inga was doing bad things for bad reasons (unless he was only planning the coup because he thought Gar'an (Ga'ran?) was a tyrant and not for personal gain - but you need to read pretty far beyond the text for that one).

He has a soft heart, but I don't think that makes him "grey" morally. I see niceness and evilness kind of orthogonal to each other in this case.
