He will explode for you though, if you have good enough approval with him. The same as Karlach will offer to become a mindflayer in your stead. Both works.

As for the issue itself,


I would like to be able to ask our besti from the Underdark. But then, I want to get rid of the Emperor anyway because there is no way letting it hang around is a good idea.
