I rambled... Sorry, I keep adding on to this.

He seems like the kind of person who does his duty. I guess kinda like Ned Stark, but quieter, and he makes his own rules instead of going by societal or written rules. I feel like he would kill the people he needed to kill, kinda like you said, but he doesn't take pleasure in it, even though he's very good at it. So, he's humble and does what he needs to do (which includes revenge). He would've killed the people who actually betrayed him (the Loyalists, Campbell, Burrows) and done the non-lethal methods for the Pendletons and Lady Boyle. I think he would've spared Daud, considering he was doing his job.

It's definitely difficult to get a good sense of Corvo, since we don't know much about his past.

Also, I wouldn't see him as the grim type. He seems like he would be a pretty polite and respectful person, but also very quiet. He speaks when he feels he really has something to say. So, maybe people might think that he thinks he's better than them, when really he just doesn't have anything important to say. I can kind of imagine the other Loyalists talking behind his back, saying things like, "He's too good to have a drink with us". It's like he has a mask on the whole time, and he only takes it off when he's with Emily (or Jessamine).

And because he does his duty, it's easy for the loyalists to control him, since he's not the kind of person who thinks about secret plots. They give him something to do and he does it. Once he starts something, he'll see it to the end.
