Nere is the most pathetic character in the whole game. There are so many more interesting candidates for evil playthroughs, like Z'rell, Balthazar, even Gortash, if you agree to work with him.
Nere is just such a whiny and weak character. Heck, even if the reasoning is 'Want hot drow' there is still the drow crew near the Spectator, that are tied to Grymforge.
