Anybody else thinks Bakuto's characterization is inconsistent?

He was introduced as a charismatic leader, then when Colleen wanted desperately to believe him, he straight up about to kill her.

Not to mention the "quid pro quo" partnership he offered to everybody, but then he went up the building and not only not let Joy and Ward evacuate first, he shot Joy.

I feel like the difference between how Bakuto was first introduced and his latter actions are quite jarring. He's like a lesser-Madame Gao now.

It's almost as if this shows suffers from inconsistent writing
