I would hope so, but after EW I feel like Azem is at high risk of being retconned from not having chosen a side since the portrayal of Venat/Hydaelyn being right and good was so over the top. I am more anxious than excited about Pandemonium because of it.

Imagine how a certain puritanical Twitter crowd would react if they were told their character's Ancient self was personally responsible for Emet-Selch's continued existence. (Though I'm not sure how they cope with the canon of Azem being veryvery good friends with Emet in the first place. Probably by hardcore dissociating their character from Azem.)
Twitter is just the plague of humanity, isn't it? :P Well, on Reddit due to the aforementioned portrayal of Venat popular headcanon is that Azem had to have been secretly working with her.
