The theory about Ballas just being a selfish jerk that now wants to help the tenno defeat the sentients for him makes sense. Shit, he complains they stole his "perfect death". That's the most selfish thing I can imagine, he values his ego over his own life.

In the other hand, it's often suggested that he's now controlled by sentients in some way. Some say they replaced his legs with sentient parts so sentients could control where he'd go whenever they wanted, and the bright in his eye allowing sentients to see what he sees. Probably because they know he once betrayed the orokin and may do the same to sentients. Worth reminding that sentients are capable of controlling several bodies.

When he realized tenno where spying on him, he pretended to be talking to himself while toying with parts of his paracesis sword when he was actually trying to give us hints and a blueprint of a weapon to kill sentients. That would explain why we can't let him see us, meaning the sentients also see us taking the blueprint. Just my theory of course.

About the possibility of Lotus planning this all along, I also consider that. Supposedly she felt sorry for the poor tenno and betrayed her kin to save them and keep guiding them centuries later. Well, what if after wielding the power of the tenno and their warframes to destroy orokin she decided to keep it for herself? She's been commanding the tenno since the first minute after their awakening without further explanation.

I don't know if she would keep them as a way to make his father and brothers happier and more powerful by giving the sentient forces an even greater weapon, or maybe she kept them to use them as a force to destroy the sentients she betrayed and rule over them or develope her own empire. Again, just theory. Besides, sounds like too big of a twist for DE to take that route.

The idea of Ballas confusing Lotus for Margulis and using his void hocus-fuckus magic to erase her care for the tenno is pretty solid. Ballas probably is envious and sees the tenno as shit kids that took his place in the hearth of Margulis, taking her away from him forever. When he mistakenly made Lotus not care any more for the tenno, well, she went back to be just Natah. But if it goes as I described, she probably was already Natah, it's just Ballas made her forget tenno from her plan.
