An excerpt lifted from Inquisitor Kyriff's dossier, found circa 2012 in Cerberus' database.

"Constant exposure to mankind and Aidan Clayce’s own tutelage together with the tutelage of the other Malice Kings has helped Zaghiel understand humanity, thus enabling him to form his own personality over the past few centuries. He is quiet and reserved, detached from small concerns but incredibly compassionate towards those whom he perceives to be weaker than himself. It is clear, however, that the dissonance of his very existence disturbs Zaghiel in ways that he himself might not fully realize.

Another subject of interest would be Zaghiel’s devotion to Aidan Clayce. A cursory diagnosis is simple enough: Zaghiel is loyal to Aidan because the Voidseeker saved his life. Leviathan scientists, however, have pointed out that to become an Angel’s Source means to become – at the risk of sounding dramatic – their lord and god, instilling in the angel a total, perfect and nearly self-destructive devotion. This – combined with a full inculcation of human emotions, the strongest being a sense of indebtedness, loyalty and gratitude – appears to have resulted in Zaghiel falling in love with Aidan, or at least exhibiting similar signs. Cerberus profilers are divided in their opinion over this matter. Some believe that such emotional reactions may simply be a byproduct of the bonding, designed to make it easier for the subject to perform its duties for the Source; others believe that the emotions may, in fact, be genuine, given the fact that Zaghiel is “fully” human."
