The violence is all within context and justified. Nothing to cry about, especially not when that context is a post apocalyptic world where you need to survive.

No at this. Other people mentioned it may be his backstory, it's used in critical moments. But a generallly torture and vengeance seeking character driven by rage, sorry but if that's what it is I'm not touching it with a 10-foot pole. No crying, just no playing.  

If only more people were as good natured as you. Truth of the matter is that most people are not, if a stranger did anything to a family member or friend and when pushed to their limits you'd be surprised how ugly humans can get. It's just inherent in our nature.

I don't know how I would react, but one thing is certain there are people out there who have suffered great injustices, one I even work with, yet they refuse to let their lives be driven by rage. It doesn't make them in any way doormats, on their contrary it is their will that tells them they should not. Those are the kinds of people I look up to, that's the kind of character I want to associate with, if you know what I mean.
