It is intentionally ambiguous just like Henry is an ambiguous character. He is absolutely a narcissistic sociopath with no empathy or morals but he is not sadistic - he kills only when and if it is required to protect his interests, not for pleasure. Personally I don't think he wants to go there specifically to kill Phin but certainly would if he deemed it "necessary" for any personal reason.(less)
