And of those servants who aren't very good, they tend to be improved
by greater service (Incus). Wolfe seems to believe and in fact very
nearly states in canon that good service to even a false god is
sanctifying.

I'm not sure the concept 'Pas is evil' makes much real sense (we can posit 
that Typhon was evil, but Typhon is not exactly Pas).

Pas is the creator of the Whorl, which has much good in it, even if, as Silk 
animadverts towards the end of _TBotLS_ it also has much evil.  And he seems 
to be doing his best for it, in his way.

Evil is generally defined as being opposite to good, not as mere 
imperfection.  The imperfect has evil within it, but it cannot reasonably be 
cosidered synonymous with evil.
