Well guess what, I looked on Planet of the Apes wiki, and it turns out that in the novel prequel Firestorm, I have it but I haven't really read it yet, Koba actually had a mother whome he loved when he was in a facility with her as a child, and he lost her when she was beaten to death by one of the workers. It's also revealed that he did care for his human caretaker, Mary. Part of this to me means he is not a Complete Monster (seriously why is a backstory always making villains out to be innocent victims, JUST MAKE THEM BAD!) however, based on his willingness to kill Ash, his own kind, is it possible that the love for his mother was conditional love and not true love? And I doubet that after his experience with other humans, that he even cares for Mary any more. But if he is not a CM, I guess that means one of us should contact TV Tropes.
