Was the Emperor validated or was he truly a fraud?

Chad Omeluum who is a true free illithid vs virgin emperor who manipulates 24/7 and runs to the netherbrain like a bech when you free Orpheus.

Funny how the Emporer pretends he is very much different or not like other illithids yet shows nothing but illithid behaviours. Yet our boy Omelumn (don't know how to spell it) is actually proof of the rare few and all that don't show illithid behaviour. And to add he knows that he isn't who he was when infected. I will believe he is the only honest one.

In early access the dream guardian was originally not the Emperor or Baulduran. It was just the tadpole trying to make you change by convincing you to use its power to hasten your transformation.

Omeluum is who the emperor wishes he was

The fact that he immediately nopes out and joins the elder brain the moment you tell him no, and does so willingly, made him so much more hated than Orin to me. Loved watching him die to my zombies and hounds.

Ceremorphosis equals death the mind flayer is the tadpole that retains the host’s memories. The Emperor is simply the adult version of the tadpole that was in Balduran’s head, and when ceremorphosis happened, Balduran died. The Emperor might actually believe that he is still Balduran, but in D&D canon, you don’t ‘become’ a mind flayer..

If you're trying to get me to hate the Emperor more, then you're wasting your time. Fck that guy...

Note that the emperor didn't just dominate Stelmane... he also alludes to the fact that he's had 'intimate' relations with Stelmane during the time he knew her - which would not have been consensual if she was dominated the entire time. Truly despicable

The moment he did not want to save Minsc and dismissed Jaheira’s threats over “a simple life” made me distrust him even more. When Minsc told me the emperor tried to manipulate him by masquerading as Dynaheir and he saw through that nonsense, I plotted that squid’s demise.
