Both the Impressionist and Oliver Belsamo may be Ax-Crazy killers, but they adhere to a strict set of rules by Billy. Belsamo was also disgusted that he had to rape his victims after Hershey started doing it as part of the rules of Billy's game.

Even Evil Has Standards: Billy apparently never targeted children during his killing spree. However, he wasn't against the idea of Jasper killing one of his childhood bullies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In some twisted way, Billy does care for Jasper, as he talked Janice out of killing him as a newborn. While he did try to kill Jasper in the third book, he decided not to expose Jasper as the one who crippled him in an act of vigilante justice. He was also against Janice killing his mother.

comment
Abusive Parents: Billy is, believe it or not, of the emotional variety, as he claimed that he never spanked Jasper. However, he compensates by exposing him to the life of a serial killer. Janice Dent is later revealed to have sexually abused Jasper and even thought about killing him at some point.
