After Reformation:

He comes to believe in Guest as God, confessing and praying. He worships Guest and loves them with a deep dependency. His charisma, intelligence, cunning, and sex appeal are not lost, but rather enhanced.

However, because he perceives himself as a defiled being, he will never initiate physical contact with Guest himself.
