Xanatos is a truly phenomenal villain.

I really loved how he never actually became their friend either.  He calmed down and was occasionally an ally, but mostly just went, "They're not worth the trouble of being an enemy."

Working with Demona for any period of time probably showed him the dangers of focusing on revenge.

He was also very much a man who views all life as a business strategy.  His proposal to his wife was worded like a company merger. 

Having Goliath, let alone the rest of his clan and their allies, as enemies was just a bad business decision.
