No, I do believe we get glimpses of him when no one is looking and he seems genuinely concerned about his family. And he did want revenge for what happened to his family. Cora stated that losing a pack member is worse than losing a limb, and the Hale family lost 8...that would be extremely severe trauma.

I believe he loves power. He knows he is intelligent and in his mind he feels he is the best man for the job. He is the antagonist that just does what needs to be done, what did he tell Derek, we live in the grays...or as I like to say...the shadows...lol I'm not sure but I think it was Peter that said losing a pack member was worse than losing a family member...it was like losing a limb when he was referring to Ennis's losing one of his betas.

And I agree he does seem to love power but I wouldn't say he doesn't already have that. If he can actaullay manipulate things behind the scenes to get things to work out the way he wants them to I would say he's the one in control. He may not literally be an alpha as a werewolf but as far as the playing field is concerned he's an alpha in spirit because he dominates the opposition. I kinda get the feeling that's why he was kind of calm while listening to Jennifer when she was saying that he always rose to the top while everyone else suffered. To him that was a compliment. In his mind it revealed his superiority in comparison to everyone else. She really kind of fed into his delusion of grandeur imo.

And to the part you wrote about him doing what needs to be done...like killing Jennifer when no one else would...it kind of makes me wonder if that was his role in the Hale family. I mean when Paige died he was the one that dumped the body(I suspect he was the one who told Talia what happened as well). I just wonder if he was the one who got his hands dirty so to speak...I mean there were bound to be others like Paige (accidental deaths and the like)...someone had to deal with those things and I don't see Talia being the one to do them. Peter also spies a lot...I've wondered if might not have been Talia's eyes and ears as well. We really haven't seen the relationship between Talia and Peter yet. We know next to nothing about them as siblings. I do get the feeling their parents may have been out of the picture for a while and that Peter may have been raised by Talia for most of his childhood...of course all of this is just speculation on my part but I have to admit the Hale family background is one of the things I am most curious about.
