I don't understand the hate. He's my favorite male character. I don't see how he's "despicable" when the game highly suggests that he was framed for most of the crimes he was accused of. Aldous himself even says they can't tell whether the evidence against him is fabricated or not, and several people in the game tell you that because he's so wealthy and he spends his money (sometimes extravagent amounts) on Gran Soren's economy, he's made several people envious of him.

He himself says he doesn't claim total innocence but that most of what he was accused of was false. Talking to him throughout the game, he's clearly a decent person and, as the priest in the church says, he's not the kind of person to profit from the misfortune of others. (meaning whatever underhanded means he does use, they don't directly hurt anyone, just help to make himself richer)

Heck, even with the eviction quest (which many people cite as his moment of "douchbaggery" ) he's quite happy to resolve the issue by having you pay the money he needs and letting them remain in their household. Given how he says it, he prefers that method since "they needn't quit the land". Really, the game doesn't make him out to be anywhere near as bad as people claim.
