This theory pertains to the unambiguously heroic OG Golbez currently contained in a memoria crystal; not Durante, who's since taken up his name and armor.

The original Golbez, who people speculate being a shard and who's memories we saw, didn't torture anyone though.
They were a hero through and through.
