Much of Nathan's development as a character has bloomed from the Ixal attack that claimed almost his entire family and troupe in a single night, and left him with permanent notions about death.
Largely, he is a pacifist, and really doesn't want to hurt or kill anyone - he feels too keenly the results of dying. Now, he'll hunt game and animals for survival, which is part of his upbringing, but most sentient species he would avoid killing as much as his own survival, or that of those he values, allows.
Ixal, though, can taste genocide, as far as he cares, and seeing his reaction to these beastmen would refute any belief that the man is completely unwilling or incapable in dispensing death.
For Magma, her notions about murder and violence were completely amoral for most of her life, until the moment her brothers were slaughtered on the Bloodsands when they took on an opponent too high above their skill level. Since then, she has abhorred blood and pain, and has to be worked up into something of a fury even to remember the training in pugilism that her family gave her when she was growing up.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
