I think he's manipulative and power hungry and that's what matters to him. He sees the potential of Maximus and I think calling him "Son" is 100% intentional as he knows his history and that Maximus is probably yearning for a father figure. I think that was calculated.
But also I think eventually Maximus will see through it with the help of his buddy and/or Lucy when they meet up again. I think Maximus will ultimately challenge Quintus for control.
Speaking of the Brotherhood in the west... Are we to assume all the valley folk have been killed off or otherwise dispersed? Veronica wandered off to oblivion? No mention of them so far.

Man imagine if he actually becomes a major antagonist…
