His words carry more than a kernel of truth though. It's simply fact that Tekkadan needs money. Orga giving his previous slave drivers a chance to join under the new leadership was basically an indoctrination process to their ideology, which tilts toward survival by any means. Hitler-kun represents the id, while the idiots that got killed were the ego, quite literally at that. He's even smarter than the guys who chose to leave the group, because he didn't know for sure whether Orga was gonna kill them afterwards because of security or financial reasons. Choosing to stay and obey the new masters in order to survive makes the guy an almost perfect fit for the group.
Right now, I see him being a useful advisor to Orga. When he said he wanted the boss to sell Kudelia, everybody was like "wait, that actually makes sense." Him being the id of the group, he says these things out loud, while others are maybe too afraid to even think about them, having already fraternized with Kudelia. In short, dastardly characters that can think like that are sometimes valuable to have around.
That being said, call me an optimist, but I don't think he's going to "betray" them, not unless he sees the Tekkadan ship start sinking. Even then, there are opportunities to develop him into a more compassionate character. Whatever the case, he's still a tossup. But I am worried he won't be around for too long because on the official website he's not listed as a major character.
By the way, has his name been mentioned already?
