Yes and no.

NO...because in the end he was 'sweet and helpless' and 'weak and stupid' as described by BOTH his siblings. While living on the compound having been 'forgiven' by his brother, he most likely would've been harmless, happy and loyal for the remainder of his natural years.

YES...because the bottom line, whatever the outcome...was that he turned traitor for nothing more than personal gain, nearly caused the death of his brother, the subsequent collapse of his Family, and probably his own demise as well, once the enemy no longer needed his services.

In my opinion (not intending to stir up another 'controversy')....YES wins hands down.
