Wait, most people agree that Walter starts off as a decent man?

You are right, but he wasn't that cold-blooded schemist he's in the end all the time. Waltuh gradually descended to that state of mind.

I was gonna say "good" but settled on "decent". He was certainly flawed like any of us, but he was a loving father and husband who was using his knowledge to teach the next generation. I think he was resentful of how his life panned out, and that's why he so quickly decided to spend his remaining years proving that there was greatness within him to achieve something so much more, especially in spite of the whole Gray Matter thing.
