Am I the only one who really liked Isley?

Currently re-reading claymore, and damn, I forgot how badly Isley dies.

I read a lot of people hating on my homie, saying he sent his awakened to dies etc....

But it is literally written that he himself awakened just becasue he wanted to stop all the other male warriors, sadly he lost his mind due to the awakening. At the end, sending his army to die, can be seen as a way to kill them like he wished to do when he still was a warrior.

Also, didn't he stopped eating at all from when he left the north?
