I let him live on my high chaos run because the way he says "Get out of my boat" to Corvo had me laughing for days. I was not aware that so many people hated him. This makes me sad. On low chaos at least, he is one of the few characters in the game who is genuinely kind to Corvo and actually cares about the fate of the Empire

It wasn't Samuel's 'betrayal' in itself that bothered me. I thought he was very brave for doing it, knowing that Corvo (on high chaos) would most likely kill him for it. It just didn't make sense to me that he would go through all the trouble of taking you to the island just to alert the guards. Why even show up at all when Corvo fires the flare? Or going even further back, why not give Corvo all of the poison when he is betrayed by the Loyalists and end it there? The only way it can make sense in my head is that perhaps Samuel wanted Corvo to succeed and save Emily after all, but he just wanted to make his job a little more difficult because he resented Corvo for all the chaos he had caused. He knew that Corvo would be able to deal with a few guards; he just wanted to make a point of how much of a monster Corvo had become.

At least that's how I see it. -shrugs-
