The members of the guild always thought that their guild leader as a gentle type as he often gives encouraging words to them. They actually see him as an angel because of the way he always tries to see the good in people. They already built this image that he does not do anything close to the great demoness that they call Solstice.
It was only when they saw that Adrian could easily break a weakened being's neck and pour its blood into the barrier stone that their image of him shattered. The kind and angelic guild master was actually coldblooded when he needs to be which is in fact terrifying because a sweet smile hides the cruelty. They thought that he was a great icon that can be their object of admiration on all that is good.
