Is Amado just a scientist loyal to Kara?

No. He is indeed an Inner of Kara, but he is a double agent: his loyalty was feigned and self-serving (Isshiki's promise to resurrect his daughter). He secretly orchestrates Isshiki's downfall, then defects to Konoha. Careful: nothing indicates that he is himself originally from Konoha.

Who did Amado create or modify?

He created Kashin Koji (a clone of Jiraiya), Eida and Daemon (cyborgs) and Delta (a failed clone of his daughter Akebi). He also heavily modified the bodies of Kawaki, Code, and Boro. Careful: Kawaki's original Karma came from Isshiki, not from him.

What is his real motivation?

Bringing back his daughter Akebi, who died of an illness about a dozen years before Isshiki's assault. Everything — his entry into Kara, the betrayal, the defection, the manipulation of Kawaki — serves that strictly personal goal.

Can he be trusted after his defection?

Nothing is guaranteed. He had not warned Koji that he was risking death, and in the ongoing arc he is still pushing Kawaki toward a deal that serves his own ends. Since Boruto is an ongoing series, his reliability may still change.

The most dangerous member of Kara never raises a fist: Amado is a scientist, not a fighter. And yet he is the one who methodically engineered the downfall of his own master, Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Kara's Scientific Mastermind

Amado is an Inner of Kara and the head of its research division. A non-combatant genius, he designs the scientific ninja tools and modifies the bodies of the organization's members.

His past remains unclear: contrary to a widespread belief, the series does not establish that he comes from Konoha. He will later defect to the village, which is very different from originating there.

A man in surgical scrubs, a mask over his face and tinted glasses on his eyes, holds a slender instrument under the lights of an operating room — The real workplace of the head of research: an operating table, where the bodies of Kara's members are reworked.

A Feigned Loyalty

His loyalty to Kara was never anything but a calculation. Isshiki had promised him he would resurrect his daughter; Amado played along to obtain the means for his own project.

Realizing that Isshiki was aiming for the destruction of the planet, and doubting that he would keep his word, he turns against him. He is a double agent, not a loyal scientist.

In a stone room lit by a brazier, an elderly white-haired man with glasses talks with a red-haired young man and a blonde woman with yellow eyes. — Among the other Inners, Amado plays his part as chief scientist: staying on the inside was the condition for his project.

Akebi, His Real Motivation

Everything about Amado stems from a bereavement: his daughter Akebi died of an illness about a dozen years before Isshiki's assault on Konoha.

His only driving force is to bring her back. His failed clone, Delta, carries her appearance and her memories — but not her personality, hence an obsession that has never died down.

In a converted cave, an elderly man in a dark coat faces a young blonde woman perched on a huge block of rock, her finger pointed at him. — Delta, the failed attempt: she has Akebi's appearance and memories, not her character.

The Plan to Kill Isshiki

The scheme is remarkably cold-blooded. Through his secret ally, Amado has Jigen's body burned with natural flames containing no chakra — which Karma cannot absorb.

The result: Isshiki is forced to reincarnate into a dying vessel with a very limited lifespan. And under the Otsutsuki rule, that reincarnation erases the backup Karma carried by Kawaki. Naruto and his allies then only have to deliver the final blow.

A masked man dressed in red, one hand raised in front of his face, stands beside a wall of flames in a dark room. — The scheme runs through fire: Amado's masked ally uses flames that Karma cannot absorb, unlike chakra.

The Creator of Koji, Eida, and Delta

Amado's genius is measured by his creations. He is behind Kashin Koji, a clone of the Sannin Jiraiya built to kill Isshiki, as well as the cyborgs Eida and Daemon, brother and sister.

He also heavily modified the bodies of Kawaki, Code and Boro. One point not to confuse: Kawaki's original Karma came from Isshiki, not from him.

Portrait of a man with long white hair in a dark coat, the area around his eyes outlined in black and a red mark on his forehead. — Kashin Koji, out of Amado's tanks: the face and the Sage Mode point back to the model he was drawn from, Jiraiya.

The Defection to Konoha

Once Isshiki is doomed, Amado goes over to Konoha and hands over everything: the intelligence on Kara, the Otsutsuki, Karma, and the Ten-Tails. He is granted citizenship under the protection of the Seventh Hokage.

But his reliability remains uncertain. He had never warned Koji that he would most likely die in the confrontation — and in the ongoing arc, he is still trying to convince Kawaki to help him bring Akebi back. Since Boruto is an ongoing series, his true intentions may still turn around.

Around a low table, under a hanging lamp, an elderly white-haired man faces the Hokage, seated in a light-colored coat, and three standing shinobi. — The interrogation in Konoha: Amado lays out what he knows about Kara in exchange for the village's protection.
