In his heart, Murtagh is not an evil character. Galbatorix forced him to swear oaths in the ancient language that caused him to be loyal to the king, hence creating an artificial villain.

In the beginning of the series, Murtagh is portrayed as a complex character who is struggling with his loyalty to his father, Morzan. He is not inherently evil, but he makes choices that align him with the antagonists. As the story progresses, Murtagh's character development reveals more depth and conflict, blurring the lines between good and evil.
