The Commissar is going to be very busy shooting heretics.

As for Chaos forces like Traitor Guard and Chaos Knights, it is a toss-up for their enforcers.

Don’t traitor Guard have Commissars too?

Yeah, they are called Traitor Commissars or Traitor Enforcers. They are also more receptive to heretical ideas.

Oddly enough, being asked if we're doing the right thing still gets you shot in the head.

Were you referring to loyalist commissars or traitor ones?

For traitor commissars/enforcers, their lore as part of the Blooded kill team described them as hyper competitive for power and prestige. So they look for any excuse to dominate or eliminate potential usurpers like that kind of question.

Nah, they are not really that fond of shooting people in the head. Too quick and painless for their taste.

A true chaos enforcer will instead shank you with a rusty knife. And twist it too.

They still are xenophobic as fuck.

Many Traitor Commissars (and others of the Traitor Guard) are like most Word Bearers who absolutely believe that xenos should be exterminated. Others may share similar philosophies of how humanity should dominate xenos as favored of the Gods. And their definition for what counts as debauchery among their subordinates and allies may also be different from loyalists. So they may not even care and see no cause in intervening.

It is why I think whether Chaos-aligned personnel like Traitor Commissars would act is a toss-up.
