Maybe it's his broken mind poping up?
The guy is legit crazy.
Maybe his madness is more prevalent than we think?
He just knee jerks kills people who may be or become a thorn because it's easier to deal with than actually work on making things better. He wants everyone to obey him with no doubts.
It's the opposite of this other series I'm reading. He realizes his madness and quick to kill behavior left him dying a miserable hunted by everyone death.
In his regression, he is still crazy but not quick to kill. He's also funny as he mentally torturing everyone around by saying crazy things. But is noble in his own way.

A little bit of conversation could have persuaded them.
Was it really necessary? Or was it all a test for Grey because you don't trust him?
It just seems like a waste. They could have been useful.
