I changed Balji to a high-ranking Irori priest in ancient Osirion (or even an Irori god servant like Tristian in KM2E) who ruled the land together with Governor Khmet Khanrah. After the Ghost King killed Khmet Khanrah, Balji was still against Geb's invasion of Osirion in today's Field of Maidens. Kemnebi, one of Geb's men, plotted against, killed, and ate him by pretending to surrender to Balji and receive his enlightenment.
Balji is so powerful that he still lives in Kemnebi's forehead and changes the vampire's mind. Kemnebi was evil, cunning and power-hungry at first, but Balji not only made him wiser and more patient, he also made him hate Geb - since Geb destroyed Balji's country.
This explains Kemnebi's motive for betrayal with his foolish plot of poison - the purpose of the plot is not to attack Geb's neighbors then raise an army of undead at all, but to turn all of Geb's trade allies into enemies. Finally, after Balji/Kemnebi successfully makes the neighboring countries think that the plot of poison is the will of the Ghost King, Geb himself will be identified as a Garund version of Tar-Baphon. As Geb will most likely be destroyed during the subsequent crusade, the ghosts of Khmet Khanrah and Balji, who have occupied Kemnebi, will be able to reclaim their lands.
