Oh lol, so he really planned it through... Even forcing painter to re-draw his profile so much...
Still, I think he does not really kills indiscriminably - only the traitors and confirmed rebels. Although, him being extremely public about it and being half-crazed because of his hyper-hearing (damn, it is not really so big of surprise he is psycho) does not help his reputation.
I mean, yes, he definitely built a reputation of mad dog. But I sincerely doubt the emperor wouldn't have disposed of him if he was as really insane/butcher as everyone thinks. And welp, he IS a head of the secretpolice information guild at his majesty's service
TL/DR: I beleive he just very publically executes confirmed enemies of the state, sating his murderous urges at same time.
