Redcloak spends too much time worrying about what others have and what he doesn't when he would do a lot more for his species to focus on what they do have and what they can get.
The tragedy in SoD wasn't Redcloak becoming Xykon's b---h despite all his good intentions. It was Right-Eye being betrayed by his coward of a brother for actually doing good.
