Compassionate but fear-driven and results-oriented is a way of describing Oedipus' personality in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus demonstrates compassion in his interactions with his citizens and with his daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. But he exhibits fear and panic in many of his critical decisions, such as running away from home. But whether the decision be among the best or the worst, Oedipus always looks to the impact and seeks immediate gratification and results.
