Okay, I've removed Midian's character sheet for now. I think most of the rest of what you've asked for is already in the thread, but I'll collect the links to make it a little easier to navigate.
His background I've already posted.
General views on Boromar (by way of philosophical back and forth, which is how I expect the two characters would interact IC, as well), Patruk (ideas on necromancy), and Johan are mentioned here. As to the others (those who have enough background to respond to), in short:
Tel Montayne clearly has a passionate heart. He's something of a polarizing figure, but Midian's used to people unwilling to compromise their principles; he's from a family of paladins, after all.
Glaw is nice enough, though hard to get a handle on. The only thing Midian really knows about the warforged is his near-obsession with the wood and its denizens. Given Midian's druidic slant, that gives them plenty to talk about, however, so he's never pressed much further.
Teivel ir'Torn reminds Midian of Johan with his carefree attitude, but without the obvious moral commitment Johan made by becoming a paladin. Midian likes but is wary of the chain-weilding swashbuckler.
Plonk Midian sees as a bright if dangerous being. Amusing from a distance, but with all those explosions, perhaps not the best person to stand right next to. His many "it looked good on paper" experiments tend to underscore Midian's philosophy that nature clearly has its limits.
Whisper has the draw of the enigmatic, to be sure. Her philosophy as embodied by her mask is also something he finds speaks to him; he only recently realized the paladin's mask he'd been trying to wear. At the same time, the air of secrecy that both the mask and the changeling behind it exude has Midian unsure of himself in her presence.
Vhir Leraek provides Midian with an alternate view of nature, one where spirits infuse all aspects of the world. Vhir's tribal background may have given him difficulty at the more "civilized" university, but Midian finds the man's dedication to his philosophies (and the power that dedication seems to grant) admirable.
