There are several legends about a wizard whose beloved betrayed him. To ensure that nothing ever hurt him that way again, he removed his heart and placed it inside an egg, inside a fish, inside an eagle, inside a great stone, at the bottom of a great deep lake, which was inside a mountain. He also gained immortality, but without a human heart, he became cruel and wicked.
Perhaps this same thing happened to Kato. He may have wanted simply to stop his own suffering, and lost that which made him able to understand the pain of others. I had an idea that Kato was once a Prince, just like Mio, who had been sent to conquer the last Evil One. Instead of destroying the power of the wicked one, Kato tried to keep it for himself, and make it serve his desire to do good. It ended up devouring him instead, and turned him into another host for evil, which is why Mio knew to let go of the stone of power instead of trying to keep it. Just a thought.
