With that said, Logan is very detached and distant from those around him. He was probably never the most social creature, but he has isolated and alienated himself from everyone during the last four years of his reign. He seems very callous, harsh, and devoid of compassion. He shows little, if any, signs of sympathy or empathy. He has a worker at the very start of the game executed simply for sticking up for a child worker. He orders his guards to start shooting at the protestors without even batting an eyelash. He is demanding of his subjects and tries to force them to make as many sacrifices as he did. It's to save them, after all. As King, he will not be questioned. He is the Law and the Law is not mocked. His actions are never wrong. He is incredibly paranoid and secretive, believing with good reason that everyone is plotting against him. There was an attempted coup prior to Fable III, led by the General Solomon Turner, formerly head of Logan's armies. He believed the King broke the "unwritten rule" and had to be stopped. Logan, of course, was able to stop the coup and sent Turner to the secret prison, Ravenscar Keep, to rot away for the rest of his life. The Old Guard was no longer trustworthy and As far as he was concerned, they were all plotting against him.
Because of his extreme paranoia and secrecy, he has the worst communication skills ever. Another example is his actions against Ernest Faraday, the head of Faraday Industries and the man responsible for many of the technological advances in Albion. He was unfortunate enough to catch the King's attention. tourists could take a "glimpse into the future" and he built his creations. Logan was impressed with what the man had created and better yet, had to offer. He tried to force the man to build a clockwork robot army "to defend Albion." Unaware of Logan's true intentions, inferred to be a defence against the Crawler, and convinced the King was going mad with power, Faraday refused. Logan publicly declared the man a threat to society and sent him to Ravenscar Keep, wiping his name from any records. He doesn't trust most people with information about himself, his obligations, or his motivations.
The only exception is his younger sibling (the Hero). Logan genuinely cares for him/her and is very much the overprotective big brother. He never seemed to take to the parental figure well. He/she is his only family, and while distant, he tried his best to shelter and protect him/her while he still could. He was deeply hurt by his/her 'betrayal'--that is, said killing the protestors was wrong--and lashed out in anger. But Logan realized that he/she was no longer the child he could keep from the truth and sought to show him/her the difficult decisions one must make as a ruler. This is possibly get him/her to understand and respect the reasons for his actions but also, as he says himself later, to "prepare him/her." Though this is from after the point in which he's being taken in canon, when the Hero and Walter, his former advisor and sibling's father figure, cornered him in the castle, Logan surrendered immediately at the sight of his sibling. With surprising grace no less. He expresses that he had high hopes for his sibling and upon seeing how he/she's matured, believes he/she may be the better ruler.
