Not so much defect initially as is captured. He, however, eventually comes to see the Ascendancy as the preservator of various cultures (Drakoominatus, Dragowar, ect), which the Waptoria always taught was important (with the Waptoria preserving Demogorgon Prime's wildlife ect).

This, coupled with the realisation that Kradik is not the tyrant that the Waptoria depicts him to be, leads him to believe that the Ascendancy is not that different from the Waptoria in ideals, which in turn leads to his true defection.
