I find the attacker's POV interesting if he does not rape habitually. I am interested in characters who get pushed over one edge or another. Yes, Spike's predicament/state of mind in Seeing Red is very fascinating. A character who completely lacks a moral compass is actually quite boring, IMHO.
I posted the first part of the story that prompted this question/poll, and already people perceive cop!Angel as a complete bastard, but I have a backstory for him in the back of my head, I can see where he's coming from and how his deeds are the result of a long gradual slope downwards... so at least *I'm* interested in him while writing him.
