Big fan of Kallus-- especially post-defection Kallus whos working on dropping the whole imp apathy thing-- secretly caring so deeply and strongly about everything, he just doesnt quite know how to show it π«π«
Actually, I think Kallus' rebellion might've been sparked not just by the want to be cared for, but also the want to care for someone. Zeb showed him that caring can be a conscious choice when he showed him care despite their history. In the pilot we see Kallus breaking character for a moment with Ezra, acting as if he almost wants to comfort the child, but instead he dusts off Ezra's shoulder. It's a small moment, but I think it implies that Kallus deep down always cared, he has just mastered the apathetic imperial act so well that he's even fooling himself
it will never not be funny that kallus spent one (1) night with zeb and decided to say fuck the empire so he could be gay in peace with his furry rebel boyfriend
Anyways everyone come hold hands with me and imagine Kallus growing up with a caretaker (maybe an uncle, maybe someone who just took baby Kallus in) who owned a shitty diner and working at that diner from the time he was old enough to learn how to clean tables. Learning how to curse real early and moving from cleaning to waiting tables to eventually cooking before eventually joining the academy as a way to get off the planet. The diner crew encouraging him to join, even. But the more invested in it he gets the more he drifts apart from them though he still wonders about them occasionally, especially after defecting.
Luke teaching Ben at his peaceful Jedi academy, "use the force to center yourself" vs. Ezra teaching Jacen in their mom's garage, "ok kid, I'm gonna fire at you and you're gonna dodge and if anything happens we're blaming Chopper".

No but actually, imagine being Jovan, you already had your heart broken by Alexsandr Kallus... Then enter Rebel Kallus and it turns out you didn't just fumble, you fumbled a baddie ππ
