The former agent assumed control of HYDRA in the final moments of "SOS: Part 2," and actor Brett Dalton (Ward) has confirmed that the morally gray character has jumped the hurdle to the series' official Big Bad.

"It seems like something has snapped, and it seems that moral ambiguity that he may have had is gone," Dalton told Zap2It. "He has been in that gray area for a while, and with the death of 33 [Maya Stojan] it seems he's a completely different person now. He's crossed over into the dark side, and I'm not sure that there's any getting him back. We'll have to see."

Many viewers were clamoring for Ward's redemption after he fell out from under Garrett's sway. While Coulson (Clarke Gregg) was willing to deal with the devil he knew to take down the one's he didn't it seems Ward's upcoming quest for vengeance will shatter any future alliances.

As for whether or not Ward will actually be come a successful check mark on SHIELD's hit list, well, that remains a distinct possibility.

"If it serves the story and it makes the most interesting story, then maybe that's it," Dalton said of Ward's potential death. "But they've been teasing the whole idea of if he's a good guy or if he's a bad guy for so long. He is, I guess, officially a total bad guy now, and the head of the bad guys, but I think there's always that chance.
