Thinking about the character bios from Fable 3 strategy guide,,,
The fact that Jasper doesn't view the HoBW as his employer but as his own child just squeezes my heart. Logan is their legal guardian but Jasper and Walter have been beside them since they were children.
After the death of the old ruler and Logan had to deal with running a kingdom. He couldn't be as present in his younger sibling's life anymore because he wasn't just their brother he was their king.
So, it was up to Jasper. He would wake them up in the morning, dress them, tutor them and Walter could train them in combat.
Walter is described in game (though possesed by the Crawler) to be the HoBW's father figure. Jasper views them as his child.
That's why betraying Logan was so easy for the both of them. Being branded a traitors was nothing to them if it meant protecting their child. I think when Logan had his guards drag them and Elliot/Elise to throne room their minds were completely made up. Even if the HoBW wasn't a hero or even if they didn't want to take the throne, they were going to take the HoBW away.
It didn't matter if Logan was their legal guardian, the second he made the castle unsafe for their child they were going to be gone.
