Theresa doesn't show it but sees him as a mere slave and a way to vent her frustration as he is unable to feel pain.
Axel doesn't know if his acts of kindness are affecting Luke, but deep down he believes Luke's soul is still there.
The absence of his consciousness is probably related to his final death wish as a human.
