Theory: mercy will be/is an antagonistic shard.

[Entr0pic He/him]

So, we don’t know much about mercy, but here’s what we do know: (btw all of this i pulled from the coppermind)

Mercy was “involved” in the conflict between odium and ambition.

Harmony reached out to mercy at hoid’s request, and was left “troubled by mercy” from the exchange.

Here’s something we know about shardic intent: Ati was able to channel ruin into a more peaceful state due to his peaceful nature. It can be logically assumed that other shadic intents can be warped in similar ways, assuming the vessel’s will is strong enough.

so, what if, mercy’s vessel manipulated the intent into something like “death is a mercy”, or what if they didn’t need to change the intent? We know that mercy was involved in the aforementioned conflict, but it only said she was “involved”, not that she helped ambition. 

Spoiler

And i would expect sazed to be troubled, if he met someone who viewed death as a mercy.

So, there you have it. Mercy will try and go on a mercy killing spree. of course, there may be counterpoints to this, and someone probably has thought and said this before.  But still, i hope  you enjoyed.
