Truly, my own opinion of this is that they were opposed to him simply because he had membership of a region called The Silver Isles.

TSI was a region that at its founder order, Diol, who supported Gatesville's occupation of Osiris in 2013.

The main claim was that he, Jesus Whale, was actively supporting the occupation via his WA. It was reportedly, proven false by Severisen from what I've been told.

I further believe that the opposition comes from the fact that unlike Festavo, Joshua Bluteisen, or even myself, they are not establishment backed or supported. Whale is his own person, and I think that terrifies them knowing that a Pharaoh of Osiris, not from their established group could have the power of the Delegacy and the Pharaohship and use it - in their minds, that power is reserved for solely them.

I do not agree with that view. That is not what I supported the OFO in support of, back in 2013. That is the very same thinking they (Cormac and Koth) accused Empire of back then.
