Oh most definitely. While I do think that Al's reaction was played up a bit to excuse what would come later, it's very on target with splitting. Alastor seems to has a very difficult time trusting people, he probably assumed that Vox was going to try to use this for his personal gain which he'd eventually use against Alastor. It's also possible that Alastor has a very dysfunctional sense of self and views himself as pathetic for needing Rosie's help, so he projects that onto Vox. Letting people get close to him in any capacity would be dangerous. And we see that Alastor has every reason to feel this way. It's hinted that he had a difficult childhood, and even as an adult he'd been treated like a specimen to be evaluated, gawked at, and used for other's entertainment. Just look at pic rel, it mirrors a cage, a cage where he's being picked apart for any flaws despite his obvious talent. Later we see a man spill wine on him and just dismiss him because he's just there to be preforming decoration, not a person. Alastor wanting power makes sense, but he was manipulated, and continues his life of being someone else's 'pet'. BPD worsens with adverse life events. It's absolutely no wonder Alastor became violent.
