My main problem with him is that it's not made completely clear whether he was planning to betray Gestahl. He does talk to himself in the lab about wanting to become a god, but in the Floating Continent scene, I kinda got the vibe that it was a spur of the moment thing where he freaked out at seeing his own blood which caused him to get really mad and absorb the Warring Triad.

My interpretation might be wrong I'll admit, but I think it's a bit ambiguous about whether he was loyal to Gestahl.

On the bright side, I think it's cool that he starts as just an evil clown who after some introspection develops his nihilistic philosophy. It does serve the game's themes well.

He talked about wanting to form the "Magitek Empire of Kefka" while in Thamasa. He clearly had no plans on serving forever. He got his moment and ran with it.
