It's clearly depicted in an ending where Durge breaks up with him, where as spawn he's fearful and holds a knife behind his back when talking to Durge, while as Ascendant he is perfectly calm and knows he'd immediately destroy them if they tried anything funny.
What's this now? Never saw the knife one.

Left alone this man would become a boss fight in BG4.
