Everyone talks about how the Zoaholic deprives Bondrewd of his humanity. But where do you think his paternal personality comes from? I believe that while the Zoaholic has taken some aspects of his humanity away it has also provided certain aspects of humanity as well. As it was shown in the manga when describing the Zoaholic, "It kept going between different owners. However, as the consciousness of selves increases and mixes, the hosts go insane ...". This mixing of different people probably led to a distorted  appreciation (the insanity part) and love of people as well, a sort of unity between different selves (mixing part) not available to a normal person, who can be characterized as one distinct entity. Bondrewd's strong conviction of knowlege (before he became an Artifact)  merged with the "soup" of previous users. Despite dying a few times he never showed any hatred towards Reg or the others, which is different from what you would expect of most people, since they would be so focused on self-preservation and disdain the idea of dying and who would be responsible for it.
