Steve votes for this option, but conditionally. This is the solution he prefers, as he believes avatars are victims too and deserve a chance. But only a chance - and if it looks like it's going to become too dangerous (to PCs or the NPC townsfolk) to capture Pyre, then his vote swings right over into #1 of killing him themselves. He has no problem taking someone out when there is no other choice.
