^But Zorn and Thorn actively chose to seek out Kuja. They did this, despite his immoral action, because they knew that if they were servants of the most powerful person they too would have a small share in that power. They were purely selfish, and they chose to do what they did.

Black Waltz 3, on the other hand, was created and ordered to do what he did, and it is unclear as to whether he had any choice. He was brainwashed immediately. Its like a baby being brainwashed into believing something or doing something at a young age - it can be held responsible for its actions in a true way.


Zorn and Thorn were loyal to the Queen and King before Brahne turned bad and Kuja came. They would not have been brainwashed at a young age, and it seems obvious their decisions to support Kuja were there own. There is however the possibility that they chose to do so out of fear, rather than wanting power for themselves.
