yes, Murder in Baldur's Gate has a few paragraphs on duke Stelmane, leader of the Knights of the Shield is actually enthralled by a mind flayer whose purpose and goals are completely unknown to her only shared interest in running the organization, and the game shows that mindflayer is the emperor

When siding with and giving the gems to the emperor, you either have to convince him to control or literally backstab him to control yourself
