Absolutely! He's arrogant and VI-O-LENT! (As you've pointed out, and in his terrible dealing with Drinian in TSC.) Which I think is great, in that it shows Lewis (in the later books at least) was creating a character who's not perfect, far from perfect, but still a protagonist. And surely creating him such deliberately, partly on the model of the complex, morally questionable characters in the Arthurian cycle and the chansons de geste - lots of precedent there for this sort of thing.
