They can appear like that precisely because there is a difference in power and wits between the stooges and Genthru. As it is, they can act quite freely and in amiable manner within their group because the setting is fixed and unambiguous. Probably Genthru can even count on the two dudes not having too big ambitions to try and reach his level. Right now Genthru gets two "friends" to spend time with, formulate more complex plots with, and with whom he can laugh at their victims. The two followers probably got much of their training from Genthru and with him they are sure to be able to pursuit loftier goals than alone. So, both sides benefit. But if they were all at the same level, they would constantly need to wonder how long one party needs the others or if the others are planning to backstab to claim it all. Because of the similar level of power, they couldn't help but worry as a fight could end any way. Now, however, the lackeys know they would lose, so they wouldn't normally even dream of trying, and instead concentrate on helping Genthru.
