Description

Voltuhnah  was felled in battle he was still mostly alive but grievously wounded. (He had stabilized with a death save and was at 1 HP)  When a small detachments of Illithid found him. The mind flayers had left their hive with a Ulitharid to form a new hive and allow the Ultharid to ritually become an Elder brain. (Please read Mindflayers (VOLO 73)

Upon the discovery of a wounded and "dying" Brass dragon they brought the dragon to the location where they were forming a new hive, there they chained him and through giant tubes began replacing his internal fluids with the Brine fluids that a Elder brain swims within. As Part of a ritual to create a new Elder brain Dragon (Fizban 194)

It is in the midst of this ritual that your PCs find him.  The Ulithariid  is half absorbed into the head of the Brass dragon  and appears a torso rising the skull,  its tentacles have worked there way through the eye sockets and out the mouth but the ritual is not complete and the two entities fight for control.
