There is old saying in czech:
How to recognize that politician lie? He moves his lips.Im pretty sure that apply on Cambions aswell.
I think its important here to keep in mind that he wants something (our soul most likely) ... and so his speech is prepared in such way, so we easily get the expression that he is our only hope.
Just as Creche is, acording to Laezel ...
Just as Auntie Ethel is, acording to herself ...
Just as Halsin is, acording to Nettie ...
Its all just the same manipulation.

You say "quick and easy" ...
I wonder where you get that expression. O_o
Whole Act 1 can take weeks, maybe even month of ingame time ... and we are in situation where we may think we have barely even hours!
If i remember wikki corectly, personality of tadpoled person is in standard ceremorphosis erased in 3 hours from insertion ... so fist Long Rest would be allready too late for us.
How is that "quick"?
Also you would need to get to Moonrise Towers ...
For what we know just from EA ... that would either mean deal with ancient curse that kills anything it touch ... or finding hidden path that is lost for generations ...
And either is only to get there ... you would still need to deal with whatever is there ... in MAIN CAMP of the cult!
How is that "easy"?

And for the last point.
Everyone cares about realm ...
Good characters wants to help others.
Evil characters wants to abuse others.
And psychotic murderhobos would never let someone else to have all the fun.
Also if your character isnt motivated by self preservation to defend the universe in wich s/he live ... they shouldnt be motivated by tadpole either.
Since thats the same problem on like thousand times smaller scale.
