A synopsis of canon and character analysis of Schuldig from the ancient of days in fandom
Weiss Kreuz on Wikipedia

Basically, I'm just going to quote the synopsis I linked here, because they put it a lot more succinctly than I could:

"[Weiss Kreuz stars four youthful assassins whose team, Weiss] belongs to Kritiker, a private organisation set up to combat the injustices that slide past the eyes of the Japanese authorities. Kritiker has taken these young men with tragic, shattered pasts and offered them new hopes, new goals, and the chance at vengeance. Kritiker has shaped Weiss into "executioners of darkness, bringing judgement upon the brutal criminals who skilfully evade the law...". In a sinister and brutal world, they are modern-day heroes."

Schuldig is one of the villains of the series, who operates as a member of the evil counterpart team to Weiss, aptly named Schwarz ("White" and "Black" in German, respectively, because no one ever said this series was subtle). He, like the rest of Schwarz, are 100% cooler than Weiss in every way, including but not limited to the fact that they're all psychics.

tl;dr this is a series where a lot of people cheer for the villains, myself included.
