Higgs hasn't pulled out the active looming at anyone but Tarvek, so far as I remember. In fact, how much of his scary awesomeness has anyone in your list witnessed?
Gil's the only one who knows the story of him saving Klaus. Tarvek was the only one who saw him dismantle Otilia one-handed. Theo can tell Higgs is lying about the map, but that doesn't tell him much. Zeetha sees him fight with Jagers, he's as fast as she is chasing Zola, and he can jump down the same holes. She treats him as an equal. We only see Violetta interact with him briefly after he really goes to town on Zola in the plant room - she's working with him and doesn't seem ridiculously impressed, but she's awfully fast herself. Gil, Tarvek, and Agatha see him get up and salute when he should be mostly exsanguinated.
Most of them are interacting with him perfectly reasonably, given what they've seen of him. Tarvek is the only one who's seen him go really superhuman more than once, been loomed at by him twice, and obviously has a theory, but I think it's based just on what he's observed, not any background information.
Also, I suspect Higgs is really good at fading into the background when he wants to. It'd be a survival skill for him.
