I'm not a fan of "truly evil" antagonists - they often make for lazy storytelling - but it's refreshing when characters want what they want, and don't have any moral pretensions about it.

Maybe, but I don't see why he'd waste the time on it. This is an all-or-nothing play for him; there is no "afterwards" to worry about if he's defeated. Destroying Ginga's life after she's exhausted her usefulness wouldn't really get him anywhere.

Besides, if he cared that much about his Numbers' loyalty you'd think he'd have done a better job on his existing group. Heck, Nanoha could probably have talked Dieci around in this episode already, if she'd been able to spare a few minutes.
