Could be, but I doubt it. I think he is just adding more layers to the deception that he really is still Durkon.

Several people seem to think he might be looking to take out any high-level clerics who could pose a problem down the line, but rather than starting a fire-fight there's no guarantee he could win, I'm leaning towards the deception angle. The undead-spirit inhabiting Durkon's body seems to prefer that tactic so far.

I think it could possibly go something like:

1) Mind Control a cleric when Roy's not looking
2) Have him tell Roy "of course we can fix your friend"
3) Whip up a fake magic "resurrection" with some mumbo-jumbo (Roy's not a cleric, how would he know?)
4) Tell Roy and everyone else Durkon is cured and there's nothing to worry about any more.

This way they'll let their guard down, making it easier for Durkula to stab them in the back.
