Nanoha Force Ch. 10
 
#11
I dunno. The Huckbein seem to have a personality developed from their circumstances. I mean, imagine that you're confronted with what Touma's dealing with. Either you kill people, or your Divider eats your mind and *makes* you kill people. The Huckbein have banded together in order to protect each other rather than simply being hunted down as a threat (I note we have no information yet on if anyone ever offered them research to find a cure, or if they were just considered too dangerous), and they're doing what they can to survive rather than overloading and being killed during berserk rampages.

However, beyond that, the Eclipse also gives them tremendous power. And like the man said, "power corrupts". Veyron is most likely a bully, except now he's not only no longer in danger of censure for carrying things too far, but rewarded in that it keeps him alive. Cypha enjoys "a good fight", and now a fight to the finish, when her opponent is dead, is the ultimate pinnacle for her. Fortis is a smug asshole, and now he has the power to essentially recommend to TSAB battleships that they surrender, and to demonstrate with lethal effect what happens if they don't do as they're told.

However, the others are less clear cut. Arnage seems to be genuinely trying to help Touma, and angered by the interference by the TSAB, because if this goes on to long, Touma will die in the worst possible way. Furthermore, while she's a bit of a smartass, she seems to be genuinely friendly with Veyron and Stella, and the "family" part of the Huckbein Family features heavily in her dialogue. Stella, similarly, is a child in a horrible situation, raised by horrible people. The Numbers weren't holding back in StrikerS (and are actively responsible for the deaths of major characters, including Quint Nakajima), yet they're good guys now for the most part.

Of course, there's also Deville, who's done nothing much at all in the way of talking yet, so no idea on his end, but overall, of the six Huckbein, three are evil, two are potentially nicer, and one is just a cypher so far. And we're not even that far into the "series" yet, even though the manga format makes it seem longer. They've definitely got time to turn the current trend around.
