Headcanons don't count as justification, Jonathan. You can try to imagine he came from a poor background, thus his drive to become wealthy and powerfull emerged, but we ultimately don't know if that's what happened. For all we know, he could also have been a privileged and spoiled brat from a really wealthy upperclass Atlasian family. Its no different then trying to imagine Cinder as some sort of freedom fighter. Its cool, but its ultimately not what's going on. 'What ifs-' aren't good arguments. So the question of 'what caused him to be this way', while interesting to speculate about it, is ultimately not relevant right now because it relies purely on fan-made speculations.

And even if he came from a poor background, that means he's effectively screwing over the people he once associated with. It would make him even more despiceble in my opinion.
