Cassius is just like the rest of us. He may not have had the best parenting techniques but it's obvious how much he cares for Keefe. That's why he acts the way he does. In one of the books, it describes Cassius as a grieving father and heartbroken husband. He's been through so much. That was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the whole series for me. And in another scene which shows how much he cares for Keefe is when he says that Keefe will always have a home with him. And then him in Flashback teaching Keefe. In the series, for us as readers, we were only shown the scenes through Keefe's perspective. There was never a motive given for why Lord Cassius took those actions. Constantly throughout the series, Sophie states that Cassius is an oily, insincere guy who verbally abused Keefe and that's from very few encounters. It doesn't excuse Cassius from his behaviour, and I saw a comment which said that it isn't that Cassius is bad, it's more like he's lost. HIs wife is one of the biggest antagonists in the series, like, give him a break. It's always good to look at it from both sides of the spectrum before judging people based on one party's opinions.
