Capturing souls, are we evil?

The Adventurer is Guthixiain in nature. Balance. We go good, we do the fuzzy feelies, we help people, we right wrongs. But there must be balance. So then we do evil that makes even the bad guys go running in to the dark screaming.
Either that or we're a highly functioning psychopath (there is a scale you know!)
Actually some people suggest culture and moral priorities can shape how people respond to killing in the form of the shock to the psyche. In old times it was glorified to kill in defence of your people, parades the whole nine yards. Where as today it's labelled as bad under any circumstance and broadly and significantly stressed, so the shock to the psyche is significantly more pronounced as it goes against everything they were taught. That is conjecture though, but it would explain the Adventurer quite nicely. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

Well, I have been capturing souls for the codex. And I'll even grab some additional ones to put in my little personal corner of hell I call my own personal dungeon
But I - or my Adventurer - have little morals and just do what they tell me. Kill 10 slaves? Yeah sure, why not? Something wrong with that you say? Can't quite grasp the problem, Menaphos reputation man, rewards! And a personal tormented demon to do a slayer task in peace. And some more monsters to help me get those champions scrolls.
What do you say? I am the monster? Just a matter of perspective really... that functioning psychopath angle seems to make lots of sense here.
