From what I remember (and mind you, its been years since I've played the game, so I might be fuzzy on the details), Merlot felt that researching the Grimm would result in a better future for Remnant, though I do remember I felt it was vagualy explained. That being said, the sciencetist with good intentions who crosses ethical boundries is far from original. Now, I don't oppose this trope and actually think it could be very interesting. Some fictional characters I quite like are like this, such as the Illusive Man from Mass Effect who will cross many boundries in order to get the research and results he wants. I just didn't think they did that well enough with Merlot.
