Also, depending on your viewpoint, Daniel. Complete Monster: Baron Alexander, as made abundantly clear in the flashbacks - but possibly not quite over the Moral Event Horizon.And the Fandom Rejoiced: A sequel known as Amnesia: Machine for Pigs has been announced.

Ultimately, let's put it like this: would a displaced human being in a strange dimension feel the same way about torturing and murdering animals of a lower intelligence if it was the only way to get back to their plane of existance? Is Alexander simply trying to escape from a world in which he does not belong, committing his horrific acts of torture on murder on the grounds of a sense of alien superiority and hopeless neccessity? Consider also his concern and disgust at the depravity to which Daniel himself sinks, something which a trigger-happy maniac would not react to or feel disturbed by. Of course, he uses this to his advantage, being the Magnificent Bastard he is, but you can't help but wonder about his seemingly sincere sorrow at being trapped in an alien world, seperated from his wife and anyone of his own kind, doomed to die a slow and lonely death unless he finds a way back home. Many times, Alexander displays his callous attitude towards humans as if they were no different from the canines he had experimented on previously - but when Daniel himself turns on his own kind with an heavy bloodlust and begins to fall further into vicious insanity, even Alexander is disturbed by his behaviour to quote, he 'senses a darkness' in Daniel. There is no denying he is a monster, but it is made clear in the notes, diaries and odd cylinder thingies that he is originally from a race far more advanced than ours and a dimension beyond humanity's reach. At the very least, it is heavily implied that he is a selfish man and very much concerned with his own wellbeing above anyone else's - or at least before his Heel Face Turn after he murders the young girl, anyway.

Another question: was he actually that nice of a guy before his trip down Insanity Lane or was he just a naive young man who was pushed too far by fear? Remember, when the men who were exploring the passage beneath the dunes began to visibly become fearful and wanted to leave, Daniel shouted at them and forced them to continue.

Is he as dense as the flashbacks imply, or is it an act? Is he a Complete Monster or was he Just Following Orders?

Alternative Character Interpretation: Daniel.
