Yeah. I can tell from the Enlightenment war and Return of THEM. Still, the whole Pseudopath-Multus war would be more like either the Geth uprising or the Zerg Overmind's rebellion. Still, maybe Kossi or whatever EO leader hates them because, when the EO tried to destroy them, they consumed a few worlds of their creations and actually rendered a few minor ones we never heard about extinct. That might spur the hatred.

The Pseudopath's real leader is called the Monolith. It's a Multus AI that led the Pseudopath. When it was forced into hibernation, it shut down the worldweb, which Vertigo is trying to get the Scythe to help him restore, as he's only been able to reconnect a few dozen worlds out of the hundreds that exist. The Monolith only had enough power to exert control over a few individuals, basically making the Pseudopath leaderless. So the Royal House system was implemented by the squabbling warlords to restore order. The most powerful one is led by Vertigo, so he leads the whole empire (that part that's awake). But he's still technically under the Monolith's influence. (It doesn't control him but he can talk to it) Still, the Monolith works on logic only, so it's perfectly capable of turning good as soon as the Multus stop hostilities.
