While exploring the mansion, you gently brushed a silver coin, and suddenly this voice popped up in your head (Tulas Shorn).
If you give in (the boosted power he talks about), you're basically recruited to his faction. If you don't give in, then he'll be doing whatever he is doing now. Annoying, to be sure, but it might not break your game.
I guess he now wins when you win, which is when you leave the mansion, somehow.
