EP and the comics are canonical to their personalities. While the events in the comics may not have happened, the way they behave is what they're actually like. I don't know why INTI made them such lovable clowns outside of the games, yet absolute monsters when GV encounters them. I guess maybe it's to mirror GV and Copen, or because there's a theme of duality and mirages throughout GV2. Copen especially is very similar to Eden, where he's a racist turbodouche worse than Tenjian when dealing with adepts, but a nice guy around his sister.
