I don't think there's any need to overcomplicate it. Rou simply acts in his and his people's interests. The same as any of the other country leaders. Guys like those in the Holy Kingdom unilaterally think less of all non-humans and believe it is wrong for any of them to question humans dominance over them while the minister was acting in the interests of his own kin (that is, nepotism). None of these people, including Rou, are willing to act "fairly" and that's okay because they're not acting as individuals, but as leaders for other people over which their decisions would have a large impact. That's why, I suppose, those working for the government or acting as some sort of looming authority over the people are often painted as villains or, at best, morally ambiguous; because unlike "heroes", they don't play fair or give chances to their opponents to level the playing field. It's the luxury of a hero with no responsibilities except to himself and to his personal friends to stay clean.
