I want to drop my two cents here. I see some assumptions that Orpheus is one of the good guys. Remember that his mother Gith wanted to conquer the realms herself. Doesn’t matter her motivation. Because of the split with the followers of Zethimon and the fact Vlakath stopped her this wasn’t attempted.
As such, I do *assume* that Orpheus has similar motivations to follow his mother’s footsteps. After they defeat Vlakath, they will likely turn on their Githzerai allies. And then begins their true war.
Oh yeah for sure, Orpheus is also very clearly not good. That's why even knowing how to not have a mindflayer I still end up having Orpheus do it. Let Lae'zel after all she's learned with the party lead the Githyanki and perhaps the whole lot of them learn a little more tolerance from her example.
