The Duke wasn't exactly a good villain. The plot for vesperia is definitely not one that I would defend in the least.

Duke not supposed to be a "good villain", but a mysterious character who almost felt like a unofficial ally who ends up becoming an antagonist. You're mainly supposed to feel some degree of reluctance in having to square off with him considering he has helped Yuri and co. numerous times in significant ways and because you are at odds with him because he and Elucifer were used and betrayed by their old comrades which made him despise other people and not trust them.

Looking at him like that he is actually one of the most original final antagonists in the series only shared by one other character in the entire series.
