I've never read any of the VNAs besides Christmas on a Rational Planet where Cwej is kind of just there.
In Dead Romance, he was up to some serious shit for the Great Houses.
I'm generally inclined to assume that companions are usually fairly level-headed and good-natured.
I'm curious, to those who have read the VNAs, was becoming a ruthless, if somewhat childish agent of the Great Houses a logical progression for the character?

He was previously an Adjudicator(future police) but was relatively new at it. He ended up with the Time Lords after Lungbarrow where he chose to stay on Gallifrey. He wasn't that ruthless but neither was Romana/pre-Frey before the War. His memories are constantly altered in the service of the Great Houses so it stands to reason that his personality could be too. Given how one of the stories in Hidden Truths, the next Cwej anthology is called Lungbarrow by Loomlight, we might be getting some information about how his early days of working for the Superiors/Great Houses/ Time Lords were.

Cwej’s arc in the VNA’s can be seen as a defascistisation whilst his arc in the latter VNA’s after the Dying Days can be seen as a Refascistisation and the Control of the Time Lords and his loyalty taking over and then him eventually throwing that off but being change forever which leads into the Cwej: The Series which he is once more work for the Superiors.
So Cwej life can be seen also most as a rollercoaster of going from fascist to not and then back again over and over again.
