If making people believe he was someone else was his goal in life then he could have achieved it much more easily than by building cults and abusing people.
True. The way I see it, he doesn't just want to be someone else. He wants to be exceptional. He wants to be like nobody else. He wants to be seen as above everybody else. He hates himself so much that he craves outside worshipping more than anything else. Which is where building cults comes in, and consequently abusing people to build the cults.
If I'm right, it's certainly extremely sad that he should hate himself so much, but that does NOT make him a woobie, or innocent. Loads of people hate themselves and don't take it out on others. And he KNOWS that the abuse he commits is morally wrong, since he works so hard to hide it when he does it, and to deny it when it's exposed. He's being deliberately abusive, and this is not acceptable no matter the reason.
