2a : held as an opinion : believed also : mistakenly believed : imagined the sight which makes supposed terror true — William Shakespeare
Notice "believed" and "mistakenly believed" are almost opposite meanings!
4a : required by or as if by authority soldiers are supposed to obey their commanding officers
Here it could mean "He is thought to be kind", but could also mean "He is thought to be kind, but he isn't", or "He is meant to be kind".
"People say he's kind" is much clearer, although it also carries the unspoken question (but is he...?).
