Reaver's Crimes:
GENOCIDE
The mass genocide of Oakvale is at the top of Reaver's very long list of crimes against humanity at large. (This is techinically manslaugher, I suppose, since he although he caused it Reaver never intended for it to happen. Be that as it may, it's small consolation to all those innocent people who were brutally murdered by the shadows, wouldn't you agree? If they were alive today, no doubt that want to see Reaver hanged or worse for his selfish stupidity.)
MURDER
Let's forget about Reaver's initial crime for the moment. How many people has Reaver murdered? In cold blood? Without provocation? Let's go ahead and omit anyone who attacked him first. Why not? That'll shorten the list, right? HA HA HA! But seriously, considering that he killed Barnum pretty much on a whim, I'd say Reaver has probably gunned down hundreds, perhaps even thousands of innocent people. Don't even get me started on how many people Reaver has no doubt tortured to death for his sick amusement or fed to his private monster collection. Oh! Then there's the "prizes" Reaver offered to his oppressed workers. A longer break than three seconds results in a worker being shot? They'll be shot for complaining. Shot for not working. Monstrous. Reaver is a soulless monster.
RITUAL SACRIFICE
Reaver kidnaps innocent people and doesn't just kill them, he drains them of their youth, leaving them withered husks. Aged before their time. He STEALS SOULS TO SUSTAIN HIS OWN WRETCHED EXISTENCE. What isn't evil about that? What does someone have to do to BE more evil than that? It boggles my mind! I can't even come up with anything more vile and selfish. I'm sure Reaver could though.
CHILD ABUSE
Does anything really need to be said? If you support Reaver, you support child labor. Interestingly enough, putting children to work was actually a real life practice during the industrial revolution. They paid street urchins in food and had them crawl around inside the factory machinery in order to clean it. Of course, it would have cost the factory managers money to shut down the machines for cleaning... so the children did while the machinery was turned on. Many little homeless children were ripped apart and chewed up by the unforgiving steel. Then another child was sent in to clean it up.
Reaver would never do that, would he? OH you bet he would.
EXPLOITATION
Reaver wants the king/queen of Albion to rape the forests, dump waste in the rivers, and grind up the countryside into mulch looking for valuable metals and minerals. He's every Captain Planet villain ever introduced. Reaver seeks the death and suffering of future generations not even yet born.
I wish I could list Reaver's sexual deviancy here as a crime, but I guess it really isn't (though it's revealed through his notes that he's killed plenty of lovers, and in some cases just let them die.)
Is he a great villain? Without question. Has the Fable series been enriched by his presence? Absolutely. Is he evil? HOW CAN YOU EVEN DOUBT IT!? Reaver is barely even human. He's a DEMON wearing human skin, and all those who make excuses for him are FOOLS who wouldn't know evil if it jumped out from behind a potted plant and clawed their faces off. To defend a man like him because of some petty school girl crush... it's... it's HORRIBLE. What is WRONG WITH YOU?? Wake up and smell the giant pile of corpses Reaver is standing on top of, kiddo. Big surprise. They smell like death.
