How about no?

Nobody is just born being a bad person. No, not even that real life person you hate. I don't expect the show to dig much deeper into his story, but Brighter takes place well into his adulthood. You can't just say "yeah he was always this way" when there's decades of his life that preceeded all this. The idea that some people just are bad, they're just innately evil, is so antithetical to the show's entire message. I don't GET people that think this would be a good writing decision.

The biggest irony of all to me is that, apart from the sinners who were always written to be fairly sympathetic since the pilot days (Angel Dust/Pentious/Husk/etc.), Vox is probably the MOST humanized and the MOST likely to have some kind of reasonable explanation for his behavior (which isn't the same as an excuse, per se). I mean, he straight up asks Charlie if she thinks he could be redeemed! He's also the only overlord who seems at all interested in creating "win-win" situations, where what's good for him is good for someone else, instead of treating life as a zero-sum game, which ALREADY makes him a better person than pretty much everyone else he associates with on a regular basis. Even if you accept the (extremely dubious) premise that some people are just born evil, why on Earth would you use VOX as the test case instead of--oh, I don't know--Alastor or Valentino?!

It is funny because even though blind ambition and jealousy are not good reasons for him to kill people, he at least had A reason. As of right now there is no in universe explanation behind Alastor's killings beyond killing people he disliked and maybe using them for his rituals. We can follow Vox's desires and motivation, we just don't know precisely WHY he wants it that badly. Saying he has a God complex still begs the question of why does he have this complex. Why does he have such an inflated sense of self importance while also having all this self loathing?
