1. It's an open secret at this point, but Reid is a vampire and he doesn't really like knowing that. He'd prefer to pretend he's still human or a human with some magic powers, if pressed. He murder his little sister by ripping out her throat when he just woke up as a new vampire and was starving. He murdered her a second time after he accidentally turned her into an insane vampire from that first incident. He would very much like to forget doing both of those things. In Duplicity itself, he's gone around murdering SIN guards with Cullen around his hospital and would like to not be caught for that. He's intensely vain, as well, so memories from people who might have seen him when he didn't have his glamour disguising his inhuman features and found him hideous or terrifying would be very affecting. Aaaaand, he was having to play Ignacio's errand boy and sexual toy for a while there due to a debt and he would REALLY like for none of his friends to EVER find out about that.
2. Sure. He might have a little bit of a harder time with Reid than a normal human, though. He's got his vampy mental barriers that can limit some influences.
3. Reid's not nearly as gullible as Jon, but first impressions are important. If Elias makes a good first impression, Reid could possibly be tricked into this. Or, if he believes it's for some specifically defined Great Good that is tangible and that he can mentally calculate the cost-benefit on. He's pragmatic. 8')b
