Blicero is a "weirdo" in Nazi terms - how would he explain a
love-affair with a black boy to the Party disciplinary committee?
I agree that he is really on the same side as the Party, in his
own complex way: but he'd have a hard time convincing that
committee of it - he's individual enough not to be captured by
relatively simple shibboleths such as commitment to "world
domination" or "ethnic cleanness".  So yes, he's more appealing,
because he ties in his own individual passions to his membership
in the Nazi project - HOT, and contradictory.  Pointy is far more
sinister, constantly presenting himself as a humble servant of
science, passionless.  COLD.  So when his own passion and
ambition reasserts itself, when he sends Jessica away, he's more
revolting than Blicero ever is.
