A mole demon! That's cool. With such a stylish Latin name. Maybe that means he has lived a very long time.
Run, Zoë, run! Moles can't be that fast.
I bet if you had nachos agent N'aaaaw would be eating out of your hand. And perhaps eat the hand as well. Still, it would come in handy. When she's hungry she can be a handful, and you'd want some insurance.
Will she ever run into the assassin again? It would be interesting.

The suit raises an excellent point.

He tried, but doing it aboard the Barranca would have been too early. Transporting captive people is cumbersome and raises suspicion, so he had to hide his intentions to get them to come along willingly.

That comic doesn't say he tried to kill her on the boat, but it does imply he may not have known she was the Stormbreaker until after they were already off the boat.

Poor Lacey's host. Stuck working with the second most chaotic demon around, left alone, a nearly overlooked extra human in a camp full of human-hungry monsters, probably missing Lacey who's off having a grand time recklessly endangering Riff... I'd almost feel sorry for her if it weren't for the minor detail that she's helping bring about the end of the world.

Wilden outright say that he could have klled them earlier but considered he at least owned them an explanation. Also, keep in mind that killing them earlier would have made a lot of things more difficult with Riff

Wilden Willcott does seem to be a sociopath. If only he had gotten good therapy when younger. Or married a therapist, even! Perhaps then he wouldn't be bribing demons to eat people to bring about the end of all existence.
Or would it depend on the quality of the psychotherapist (emphasis on the 'psycho') he had access to?

I wouldn't call Wilden a Psychopath, he is more like someone who has fallen for the sunken cost fallacy. He has invested too much efforts and too much years into this mess to admit that what has essentially be the most important part of his life has been a big con all along.

Too early to say. We don't know his entire perceived reward for going through with this yet.
