Before Nale's betrayal, what did each Vector Legion member think of him?

[CaDzilla]

They seem like a surrogate family to him imo. I'm viewing Jacinda as his surrogate mother/wet nurse, SPG as his coach, and the rest as his tutors

That's not who was being asked about, Duck :P

I think Laurin was somewhat affectionate, Malack put up with him, and Miron probably got along well with him.

Much as I hate being That Guy, we don't really know enough about most members of the Vector Legion. My guess is that most of them probably didn't like him, because, well, Nale is a very hard person to like.

I'm thinking that Nale interacted very negatively with the members of the Vector Legion, given how little Laurin seemed to care for him, although that could be because of what he did. However, it does seem like Nale irritates most people.

There appears to be an indication that Nale was encouraged to see the other conspirators as "aunts" and "uncles".

Also, I have no idea where the name "Vector Legion" comes from.

Obviously, without knowing most of their personalities terribly in depth:

Tarquin: I suspect Nale's father saw his son's ruthlessness and ridiculous tenacity as "good potential" but was frequently let down when watching the execution, since Nale's lack of self control, complexity addiction, incredible ego and lack of overall brain power didn't so much throw a wrench into any chance at his son's success so much as dismantle it entirely. Tarquin likely kept trying to "fix" things, which will of course piss off Nale even further, exasperating the scenario.

Mal: Cold annoyance for the most part. Malack might chuckle at some of Tarquins antics, but he's also demonstrated some annoyance ("is yours always this way?", "yes, unfortunately"). Nale's sense of drama is just a clumsier version of his fathers. But I somehow doubt Malack actually put much emotion into it until Nale killed his spawn...Although I'm certain the nature of their interaction would be much clearer if we knew exactly why Nale was so dead set on destroying them. He was willing to work with Durkula so it can't be simple racism...

Laurin: The way Nale mockingly used "aunt" toward her, I suspect they weren't entirely hostile way back when. Maybe she saw a parallel in her desire to make a better situation for Hannah in Tarquin trying to "help" Nale.

Shoulder Pad Guy: Not a clue. For the heck of it, let's say he used Nale as a soccer ball, because the idea of Nale being repeatedly kicked around for another persons entertainment makes me smile a bit.

Cat Girl Whose Name Escapes Me, But Who I Beleive Starts with Ja:
I believe every moment we've seen her in panel, she's had an evil smile (save interacting with the ruler of the Empire of Sweat), so I see her as constantly poking at the easy target that is Nale's ego. Pranks, sarcastic taunts, that sort of thing.

Miron: Mostly not interested, but for some reason I get the idea that Miron tried teaching him some basic scams, just for the hell of it.

Amusing analysis, especially for SPG. The cat girl's name is Jacinda.

[NihhusHuotAliro]

I think Jacinda was his nanny and adored little baby Nale (he had whiskers, was evil, and loved to bite things).

Laurin thought that toddler Nale was a bad influence on Hannah (he pulled her hair and chased her with forks).

Miron, being the money-guy, hated how Child Nale would always ask him for money and toys.

Shoulder Pad Guy kinda grew attached to Young Nale while training him to use longswords (he hated it at first, but grew to like Young Nale).

Baby Nale tried to chew on Malack's staff, drooled on Malack's robes, and chewed up Malack's scrolls. Toddler Nale would pull on Malack's tail and make him fall over, and liked to pull on Malck's robes. Child Nale liked to ride evil bikes with the Vector Legion, which annoyed Malack because you can't ride a bike with a tail instead of legs. Young Nale liked to start the fire in the fireplace so as to overheat Malack and make him leave the room. Teenage Nale killed Malack's "children".

AT nine years old, Malack tricked Nale into spelling "Icup".

Probably how it happened

[oppyu]

Miron: Great, Tarkie's kid is ranting about his intellectual superiority and his inevitable ascension to the throne again.
Laurin: This is why Hannah will never be involved with any of this.
Tarquin: Don't worry guys, I have a brilliant emotionally manipulative scheme which will solve everything in time for me to head to my Father of the Decade ceremony I arranged in my honour.
Malack: Hrrm.

I'm now going to assume that this exchange happened word for word in the middle of a recently conquered city while Jacinda runs back and forth stuffing several bags of holding full of magical loot in the background.

That clears that up. I was a bit confused for the first few posts.
