Ark aspired to be a hero once, because of how he viewed heroes and where he came from. But after adventuring in the 'hero' fashion for a good number of years, it left a bitter taste for him because he learned what Archer from Fate/Stay Night did; in order to save one or more, you need to let at least another die. There's no way to save everyone. The world moves on without you. So then he tried the opposite for a while. Went the dark road. Found out it's the same principle, but in reverse. You just end up killing 'heroes' who are ignorant of the real nature of the world's amoral reality. So he basically became self-serving and lives for his own whims but has a specific code of things he will and will not do and will and will not abide. Not a hero or a villain, not really good or evil. Ark's the kind of guy that will sacrifice for his family and defend them, but also withdraw his protection if he thinks they're depending too much on him so they can do it themselves. He's quite contradictory in a lot of instances, and more than a little unstable. A 'hero' is just someone who the weak put all their expectations on, and a 'villain' is someone who has a cause that bothers the sensibilities of others in pursuit of an obsessive goal they think is good or just. They're cut from the same cloth to him, having seen both sides, so he currently simply prefers the role of an 'individual seeking his own goals'.
