I can empathise/sympathise with him in many respects...and going off at a tangent here, I felt the same way about Theon Greyjoy in ASoIaF. I will always strive to find the good in people, there's bound to be a little somewhere..
I feel a little vindicated now, fool-ish. I'm not always so sympathetic - Torg and Igrot, for example, I believed to be genuinely bad people with absolutely no redeeming features. But I always try to see the good in characters like Kennit, because he did have good in him. It was just buried very, very deep down, and he didn't particularly like it as a part of himself.
Which was probably why I couldn't reconcile what happened with Althea with what I knew of Kennit.
