Hawkmoth's character development in the 'hawkmoth gets help from a guied fanfiction' could vary. Initially, he's all about his evil plans. But with the guide's help, he could become more empathetic. For instance, the guide might show him the consequences of his actions on the people of Paris. This could make him hesitate in his villainous deeds.

This new influence could make him a more three - dimensional character, with a mix of his original villainous traits and some new elements introduced by the guide.

Well, in some fanfictions, Hawkmoth might use false promises. He could promise Cat Noir something like the power to save a loved one in exchange for his help.

Well, Hawkmoth might become more powerful. Maybe the villain guide teaches him new ways to manipulate people or use his powers more effectively.
