I've already made the necessary preparations for dealing with my character if it turns out that the story is going in a completely different direction than expected. I created Graeham due to my love of the more morally grey/antagonistic characters and organisations in Final Fantasy games.
I do, however, prefer them to have more depth to them than being evil for the sake of being evil. So I am crossing my fingers and hoping that when we see more of Garlemald in the future it will be more like The Archadian Empire of FFXII and boast many different 'good' characters that just happen to be fighting for a different side.
If, however, it turns out that Garlemald is largely without redeeming qualities and the lore team are only interested in making the majority of Garleans into generic evil soldiers then I intend to have Graeham die in a vain attempt to push for peace between Eorzea and Garlemald. I feel like that would be the correct end for his character in such a scenario since my enthusiasm for playing him would be snuffed out and I have zero interest in having him turn against his homeland and people completely.
Mostly because I have a strong loathing for the 'defector' trope in most forms of media.
