morally grey does not mean “is bad but also sad”
a character that is morally grey will not burn the world down because it makes them feel powerful, they’ll do it because they perceive something about it to be broken. moral ambiguity has nothing to do with a character’s past, and everything to do with the relationship between their actions and their intentions.
Morally gray is stuff like “I selfishly desire adoration and praise, so I will do heroic acts to gain that praise” and “I am willing to torture an enemy soldier if it means saving the innocent”
It is not “I am an evil tyrant but I was bullied as a child so it’s okay”
