In pathfinders trailer we could hear that heretic wanted to destroy all life accross the galaxy, but in game quests we could not see his evil plans. So in game he is a good guy, much better than sience side. Why is he so strange? Where is genocide of a galactic size? How he wanted to make his plans come true?

 and  Can any of you describe hero Kinete Muldaur withiut mask? Is she a religeous fanatic? I want to know more about her. Maybe you have some scetches of her face or something like that? Is she a good person?

I'm pretty sure the leader of the Academy is a genocidal maniac, seeing how he plans to rip out the Dust from the galaxy and every living being augmented by it.

To put it into perspective... imagine if Angela Merkel decided to gas all the Germans to make up for the atrocities of WW2. 

Then again, there does seem to be a shadowy entity, perhaps a surviving Lost,  who keeps whispering into the ears of Academy heroes. I'm willing to bet anything that "it"  nudged Isyander on this horrible path.

As for Kinete, she's only branded as "Religious" for gameplay reasons. She was once fiercely loyal and devolted to the ideals the Academy represented, but noped on out when she found out Isyander's true intentions.

What I find strange is how if you win the academy quest you don't get massive fidsi reductions on a galactic scale due to dust being stripped away. How does that work then?

I think that has more to do with game mechanics rather than lore.

i believe that the dust extraction that the Heretic employs, isn't as lethal as he first thought that it was, also afterwards you see those four "eyes" appearing in the nightsky, which are supposed to be the eyes of the Lost, but I mostly think that those are the all of the Lost, namely "Auriga", "Koyasi" and two more unknown celestial bodies.

I also vaguely recall Slowhands mentioning that a successful activation of all the lodestones is just the first step to the return of the Lost. So the effect that it has on the galaxy doesn't happen immediately. But I could be wrong, it's been a while since I've played and longer since I went Rejuvinator.

How would people even be able to tell if the Lost are back or not? We don't even know what they look like.

He did say that (I'm pretty sure)

Isn't the new Galvran hero also talking to herself/this Lost entity? She only started doing that after attending the academy.
