It would be better proof if there was an ending path where the emperor reveals his evil master plan and dominates the brain, but there isn't one ?
The reveal with entralling Stelmane is interesting because the Knights of the Shield is a secret front for the devil Gargauth so you could interpret stelmane as a devil cultist, or the emperor both

1. Romance the Emperor
2. Turn into a Mindflayer
3. Destroy the Elderbrain together
4. Hmm. Snacc
5. Companions completely undisturbed, end credits roll.
