What if a killer ran into a relative in the realm?

I believe the Obsession in dbd exists for similar reason, to vaguely resemble the "cursed survivor" or "final girl" plot in the horror genre. The killer may treat them a bit differently, forcing them to the brink of death then letting them go, playing with them (PWYF). But killers are tortured killing machines and I don't expect too much mercy in the end.

All the killers are either mindless killing machines to begin with, or have been tortured into submission by the Entity. There's no humanity left in them, from a lore perspective.
So I think, sad as it is, if a killer ran into someone they used to know, they'd likely barely even recognise them.

I don’t think that all killers are mindless killing machines, they have shown the ability to give some kind of mercy to survivors depending on the occasion (Clown and Pig), so I think it could happen depending on the Killer and the circumstances of the encounter, but it would be a very rare thing to happen and the Entity, at best, would probably allow it to happen one time to feed on that hope, forcing the killer to do it if they meet a second time.
In the current roster, the Killers that could have the free will and human minds are too evil to care (Myers,Clown,Ghostface,Freddy,Doctor) and others are too inhuman, mentally broken or dependant on the Entity to do it (Hillbilly,Leatherface,Demogorgon,Spirit,Hag,Plague,Trapper, Nurse). So I think that the most likely to do it are:
Oni: Kazan has shown to not have any love for the Entity, knowing that he is being manipulated, has shown to remember things from his past and with his respect and admiration for his family, unless he is blinded by rage, I don’t think that he would kill a family member close to him (again), like his son for example.
Legion:They are difficult case, because we don’t really know a lot about their mental state, as they could be mentally (and even physically) fused into one, with no identity left but the Legion, or they are still their own individual beings, that have become addicted to the adredaline of hunting and killing. In the first case, no chance, but in the second, there could be a chance, depending on what member of the gang.
Pig:She already did to a stranger once, and I think that Amanda wouldn’t attack someone like John Kramer.
Huntress:She doesn’t kills on purpose little girls and I don’t see her hunting her own mother if she were to meet her.
Wraith: He has shown to have a lot of self-hatred and be ashamed of what he did in life, so I think he has enough humanity in him to not kill someone close to him.

No. The killers are broken individuals and wouldn't make the distinction.

Legion's been shown to be the latter, I think, but I think they made a huge missed opportunity by not letting them have other members as ambushes.

Legion Rework 2020? I hope.

Where do they confirm that they are the first? Because I remember that the lore implied the opposite, that they are no longer their own person: Their dialogue is always cited as Legion and they talk about themselves in plural:
"There's no getting out of this now. We're too good at it." — The Legion
"Smartasses get killed. We always see to that." — The Legion
"This is no place for cowards." — The Legion
There is no running away from The Legion.
There is no need to hide. We have the strength of numbers.

That infers that they're referring to multiple, yes, but it doesn't say anything about if they're one being or multiple. I think it's the latter, because that would make more sense to me.
