The Emperor: Difference between revisions

{{SpoilerBlur|While The Emperor is duplicitous, he appears to only think of survival, and prosperity. Should the player allow him to wield the Netherstones, he will follow through on destroying the Elder Brain, though with the cost of The Emperor "assimilating" [[Orpheus]]. He will mention he thought of controlling the Elder Brain, and becoming the source of the [[Absolute]], but unless otherwise persuaded, will refuse on account that so long as the [[Absolute]] remains, they will be in an open war with the [[Githyanki]], which is a war he is not certain he will survive. He will destroy the [[Netherbrain]], and the parasites within its control in this ending.

It is also possible to persuade him to take control of the [[Netherbrain]]. In this scenario, he does not free the player or their party, making them mindless thralls, assuming absolute control of the party, and continuing the [[Grand Design]].

However, if the player frees Orpheus, he will abandon the party, and side himself with the [[Netherbrain]] for the sake of his own survival - as he believes - or claims he believes - [[Orpheus]] may kill the party or be an ally to the party that helps kill the [[Netherbrain]].

The Emperor can be attacked and killed when he first reveals himself to be a [[Mind Flayer]]. This will result in the influence of the [[Netherbrain]] taking over control of the party, ending the game. }}
