You never really find out.
There is a scene in WC3 in which Hobbes tells Blair "I do not
think anyone will ever really understand why I did what I did."
During the scene, he seems to be talking about his defection to
the Confederation, but later I had to wonder...
My personal suspicion is that in the beginning he *did* genuinely
defect for his own personal belief that the Kilrathis' war on
humanity was wrong. The scene which I described above came shortly
after the confirmation of the plan to destroy the Kilrathi homeworld
via the T-Bomb, and the other traitorous activities were all connected
to the Behemoth. I think that he started to have second thoughts when
Confed started seriously exploring the idea of destroying the Kilrathi
homeworld.
Just my $.02...
