Villain?
This is how I personally see this whole mess: Mantrid used to live his happy life on that dump of a planet untill the Lexx came. The larvae became his Shadow and was (maybe?) killed by Mantrid but the essence of the insect (wich does not seem to have anything to do with a mind)turned Mantrid into an insect himself. So Mantrid was never mixed with his Shadow, but a part of him(insect instinct). I like this version because I would HATE if that little box that screamed “I detroyed a universe!” was the same person…er…insect that without any feelings killed Kai.
