I have to agree with Maike and TygerBRight and BravoNine (aside to myself: I have to get a cool handle too), I just don't/ can't buy the spy without a soul concept myself. I felt his confrontation with Connie about what he endured for his country was too genuine and closely held to his heart especially in the face of her treason and betrayal for it not to be real.

Exactly! What he said to Connie about the things he had suffered for his country seems way too real and true for him to be pretending. This is to me what is very much an integral part of Lucas's character, his loyalty to MI5 and Harry. That's central to who Lucas really is.

If they change that and make him the bad guy, what is really likable and admirable about Lucas will be ruined, his character will be ruined.

Yeah I quite agree! Surely if he was telling real big spoilers that no one should know, then they would have shut him up already!

I had forgotten that he knew about sugarhorse and had suffered for it. In a way, going there to deal with it may have seemed a catharsis for him. A chance for action after 8 years of powerlessness.

Lucas clearly had apprehensions about going there, he was always on edge when he was there. But the fact that he put his own sanity, mental health, and physical wellbeing on the line just to help Harry really says a lot about where Lucas's loyalty really lies.

Oh yes! I am like on a Lucas video high! I am even planning to write a fanfic and make a video myself!
