Yes. He was one of the first brood (I'm assuming that makes him one of Midgardsormr's children); the Meracydians prayed to him and gave him new form as a primal. The Allagans kept countless dragons captive and tortured them so their constant cries for help would keep him from returning to the aether, therefore allowing them to imprison him in Dalamud.

All in all, it's truly a sad story. Bahamut has all the reason in the world to be exceedingly pissed off; the problem is that his rage is misplaced by the span of hundreds of years. Personally, I saw killing him as freeing a completely mad creature from the grip of his own rage-induced insanity. We did him a service as much as we did Eorzea.
