what's the total nature of this enthrallment? because if there's enough of a dissonance between his outward projection and his internal emotions, Phil's Spring Mantle will absolutely tattle on him, at least to anyone who knows how to read it. If this is a significant problem though I can just wave my hand over the wishy washy magic shit and say it's not an issue.
Their personality does not fundamentally change, but after Number 2 cracks their mind to implant his subliminal mandates, they will view his suggestions as reasonable and have a new fielty to him. The village suddenly seems like such a good idea they don't know why they thought it was so terrible. They want others to come to this realization, too, but they are aware that this will take some time and persuasion. So for now they are told to act naturally. Everything will be fine.
However, when/if the group decides to come at number 2 all at once, they will feel it is their duty to protect Number 2 even from the other passengers. When he gives the signal, they will switch to his side openly and fight for him.
