First, he was so devoted to justice as to be incapable of showing mercy, which caused him to be greatly feared in the colony.

If a Virtue or Vice is rated at 20, the opposite is rated at 0; any roll on this trait is automatically successful (e.g., an Energetic character's attempt to persist in a difficult or arduous task) or automatically unsuccessful (e.g., an Indulgent character who must use Temperate to resist gluttony or intoxication). This is congruent with Arthurian legend, in which a hero's weaknesses are his downfall (like Lancelot's lust for Guenevere) or a villain has a moment of nobility (like King Uriens of Gore showing mercy to Prince Arthur rather than striking him down).

According to Yesh Din, the booklet could have been interpreted by soldiers as a call to act outside the confines of the international laws of warfare. A Haaretz editorial described the booklets as "sermons that preach, in the name of ostensibly religious values, the killing of civilians", and which "opposes all the combat values formulated in the IDF throughout the generations".

Robert M. Geraci and Nat Recine surveyed 369 The Old Republic players on behalf of Religion Dispatches to inquire about how they handled Vette as their character's slave. Geraci and Recine noted that "torturing Vette makes sense — if one plays as a Sith Warrior", as such characters are evil-aligned and "seemingly destined to cruelty". The survey's findings suggested that most players revealed their discomfort with evil acts, predominantly chose benevolent options and resisted behaving in a cruel manner to a fictional individual, with 84% of respondents befriending and showing mercy to Vette instead of torturing her. The findings suggested that the presence of characters like Vette influenced the player's actions and encouraged them to make choices that would gain them "Affection".
