i disagree. Luther saw the imperium for what it was. a massive galaxy pimp. whoreing out worlds it enslaves to use them for all their resoures before casting them to the shadows. Thats why he turned on the imperium, he was loyal to his planet and people and did not want to see his homeworld raped of its identity.
also, the reason why i think Jonson distanced himself from Luther was that Jonson knew that Luther contemplated letting the bomb rigged ship explode at the end of Decent of Angles, thus killing him. even though Luther didnt, Lion knew he considered it. so he banished him (and his men) back to Caliban until he could decide how to deal with his (up until then) most trusted friend.
