Bart:
Smiley is probably a more typical sociopath than Morty. Not only
does he have no qualms against the harm he does, he does not understand
why people would take exception to it, although he is intellectually
aware that people do. Unlike Morty, he does not seem to think too far
ahead or stick to a plan (otherwise, he would never have taken the
Hogwarts teaching position), which, once again is more typical for a
sociopath.
