I understand that he shared the emperor’s dream for mankind, but so did a lot of other perpetuals who eventually saw him as the tyrant he was and left. Why did Malcador stay with him to the end?
Familiarity breeds contempt.
As I said in another thread: What Malcador had over the custodes and the other perpetuals was having been elsewhere doing other things seeing other ways of making stuff happen.
If you want to be cynical about it he was as naive as Big E's mortal followers because he really wasn't that old in the grand scheme of things.
Another angle would be that he himself tried and did many of the same approaches so he could empathize.
I also think that a lack of caring doesn't always necessitate cruelty. I think many of the Perpetuals lacked empathy/caring and that's exactly why they felt humanity wasn't worth improving at the cost of abstract ideals.
Malcador was still very much not over the species.
