Interesting point re: 26 and 54... but OTOH, I think you could argue that in 26, pathos kind of overrode everything for him. Don't forget that Erek's inability to forget means he will forever remember the violent slaughter of the people who created him. I'm not saying this justifies Erek's actions, but I think maybe the situation we saw in 26 was all to close to home for Erek to react as he "normally"/ideally would. JMO. Also, perhaps knowing that the aux Animorphs, the general's soldiers, and others were killed drove home to Erek, again, the sheer pain of war/violence. By that point, too, all the Animorphs were pretty frayed by war.
I think KAA wrote him in a really compelling way... the ghostwriters? Not so much.
