I would have loved to have a lot more detail about Aithusa. I personally don't think he intended to do evil things at Morgana's side. Perhaps after bonding with her he felt a strange sense of loyalty to her. Maybe he genuinely thought Morgana's side was the right side. As I am sure there are some that most probably felt for Morgana in this version of the legend/myth. She did grow up not knowing that she was a princess and then when she did find out who she really was. Uther was dead set on no one knowing and keeping her identity a secret. He wouldn't even tell people that Morgana should be considered his daughter because they feel as such. So I can understand why she would feel cheated out of a chance to rule or to even be acknowledged as a princess. Plus she finds out she has magic and that her biological father would have her killed for just being who she is. Before she knew who Uther was to her truly it was just about the fact someone she knew would have her killed for being who she is if they found out. The second she knew she was his daughter all that changed her hatred of him became personal. But of course her actions did not help her cause at all. She could not accept that she was not destined to rule at least not properly. In the end she had one family member left and instead of living her life being known to the world as Arthur's sister at his side in Camelot she chose to make their lives into one hell of a sibling rivalry that cost the lives of many who were caught in the middle of it. Had she known the destiny that Merlin/Emrys had to help Arthur unite the land of Albion would she have cared?. Before her heart grew bitter maybe. But my point is Morgana felt she was in the right to behave the was she was. Doing everything she could to bring down her brother. Perhaps Aithusa felt that she was right too. I wonder if they even knew of Merlin/Emrys's destiny to help Arthur. Did anyone other than a select few?. Plus if many magical beings knew of the destiny why did they actively seek to thwort Merlin/Emrys's efforts. After in truth without even knowing it Merlin/Emrys was preparing Arthur to be the once and future king that Albion deserved. To bring magic back to the land and for his people to be free. Morgana wanted to be queen but she also wanted magic to be unbanned at least she did in the beginning. Mordred wanted to free his people. So part from Morgana, Mordred and many other magical creatures wanted the same as Merlin/Emrys. It would have been easier if everyone worked together and helped Merlin/Emrys complete his goal but truth be told that wouldn't have made for a very good story.
