Could a vampire companion be morally gray without feeling outright evil?

What would make a companion who willingly feeds on mortals interesting to travel with, while still leaving room for players who want to finish their story?

Let their reactions reflect the player’s choices. They could approve of feeding, taking lives, or keeping a curse, and disapprove of reviving people, curing curses, or entering places tied to groups that oppose them. That gives the companion a clear outlook without making every choice a simple good-or-evil test.

The story could make the vampire sympathetic by putting them against a hunter whose methods are even worse. That gives players a reason to help the vampire without pretending that feeding on mortals is harmless. The companion can stay morally unsettling while the player decides whether that makes them worth supporting.
