He's not evil but can be cruel. I didn't see this as redeeming him but more giving context of what made him who he is.
There's nothing for him to redeem, he's playing his role. He could apologize but I see him as a man who knows words are wind, especially to someone like MC.
I enjoy seeing the lovestruck yet cautious side of him. Will make MC's betrayal actually have some hurt and not just celebration.
