Are you forgetting how much of a piece of shite a-hole Namond was?

For sure, but consider who his mom was. One of the most despicable bitches in tv history. And then his dad, a drug dealing murderer.

In the end he turns it around, and gets past being an entitled, douchebag, problem-child. Of course he caught a huge break with Colvin, but he doesn't get that break if he doesn't start acting right. He turned the corner when he really could have easily turned into a monster himself.
