I think Daud's arc in DotO has some sense. An old man whose life was nothing but blood, dirt and betrayals, and who in the end found himself with nothing but ruins and loneliness, may tend to put all that's left of him into irrational hatred for the one he holds responsible, and due to lack of anything constructive in his life dedicate the rest of it to pursuing what he thinks is justice. Even after he redeemed his greatest crime by saving Emily all he had built in his life was ruined in the process, all what's left were regrets.

And so in the end he is given the chance to achieve the ultimate redemption by undoing the greatest injustice in the world - building it on the suffering of innocent young person. I personally can't stop admiring that 'God is a prisoner' thing (but it doesn't nesessary mean it is good by itself, I just like it). For me it seems a fitting ending of the great assassin's arc. Also there's that thing about forgiveness, outlined by the Billie's words at the very beginning: forgiveness is that you do to youself as much as for the people who hurted you. Daud, full of guilt and regrets, manages to forgive the one he blamed and finds peace at last, free of his burden. Poetic, if anything.

I can be wrong.
