Livia was pretty ruthless and evil, but the Roe general was a pretty cool guy (in the dialog before his fight, he told his troops to flee instead of throwing their lives away trying to help him while he tried to hold you off), and Nero wasn't evil - he was jealous of Cid, but Nero didn't actually do anything evil other than stay loyal to his country.
