If you felt any sympathy for Finn, you seriously need help. I have one thing to say about Finn, any attempt to remove him from this category is a complete and utter waste of time for all concerned.

Compared to Nihilus' personal crimes, these seem pretty easily eclipsed. Is there any evidence showing that Ben's public crucifixion was done on his call, or was that Nihilus' idea and Nero was just there to watch the show?

I fail to see how using a catapult to torch one section of a city is worse than burning a large swathe of said city. And Ben's crucifixion was directly on Nero's orders.
