Halsin doesn't do that - he sends them on the main road to Baldur's Gate. The Absolute leads the tieflings into the shadowlands. The absolute mind controls Zevlor, promising to restore his status as a Paladin and, enthralled by Daisy The Absolute he decides to take a shortcut. Then to surrender because all of his people would be saved.

You get a bit of this when you save him from the pod and bit more if you talk to his corpse after Orin kills him.

(off topic but it's more proof that Daisy was the absolute - his corpse is still in Daisy mode enjoying life down, down, down by the river)
