That's what they'd like people to think.
Yes, the above is deliberately ambiguous.

Not so much claimed as occupied. The Alarishi are so darned useful
as live-in caretakers that if they didn't exist, the OU would be forced
to invent them. Half the time, the OU can plausibly deny little
incidents
by blaming it on one lot of Alarishi crazies or another, the other half
they get a reputation for being devious and cunning by blaming it on
the Alarishi who actually did the deed and not being believed.
