Kamen is a complete and total knob.

I've rewatched the series a few times now and Kamen is a bigger and bigger knob every rewatch.

I keep thinking I might pity his plight on the planet, utterly dominated and consumed by a sentient telepathic orca bear, but dude did it all to himself.

Then, when perhaps he might have a shred of redemption, contributing to the colony in the epilogue, he still is a stand-offish jerk who steals food from the colony to go feed said sentient telepathic orca bear.

If anything, the sentient telepath orca bear is the one to pity. It was just surviving and then Kamen infected it with his greed and malice. The critter becomes quiet and docile again when separated from Kamen.

So yeah, Kamen sucks, all the time and always, with no redemption, and I love that because most stories these days are unwilling to have a completely unrepentant asshole villain. Bless Scavenger's Reign. This show is so damn good.
