Well his character, Guppy, is blind. So yeah...aside from not knowing the history, his character can't even see what's happening.
Yeah. I'm actually really curious to see how Guppy's going to react to this mess once everything starts to die down a little.
It depends! 83 As a refresher, here's a brief primer on how Jeffrey's Esper powers work. *Cute teddy bear dressed in the Mind Melter costume points to a screen as derpy music plays* XD
1. Since Jeffrey's powers basically imprint suggestions into the decision-making circuitry of the brain, they don't normally work on AI. Or possibly on any species with no brain (See: The Yeerk problem) but that'd be an interesting experiment.
2. Jeffrey is better at saying "This is true" than "Do this." So "You just swallowed a bee" works better than "Get me a sandwich." Jeffrey is woefully inept at noticing the practical applications of the former ability (He could create a religion, but priorities! 83) because this doesn't apply to making people like him.
3. Resistance to Jeffrey's powers depends on the person's current overall conviction, stubbornness, and will. So a non-drunk Myitt and Ossanlin are pretty resistant. Joanne is probably effortless. Keshin is average.
4. His powers always work much better when the person is impaired or scared or wounded. The best for him is of course all three---- In that situation he can brainwash people outright.
5. His powers don't work on him (Or any Yeerk in his head), and they don't work on people who can block powers or psychic attacks.
Hmm... I think Al himself is probably susceptible, because, on top of the fact that his own artificial brain is probably exceedingly complex and there's no reason to assume Jeffrey
wouldn't affect it, it's just more fun that way. Besides which, Al's probably fairly susceptible simply from a personality standpoint.
Unfortunately, I don't think we get to see that right this moment. Al's in Salem's ship, and since psychic attacks are known in Salem's home universe, his ship ought to be equipped to filter it out.
That escalated quickly.
Not sure about Rathien, but we've definitely had Salem, Keshin, and Terenia in the bar at the same time. They were all mixed up in the mess that got Hadrin killed last go-around. I'm preeetty sure Rathien was there at the tail end of it.
All of which is why Fayleth is like, "Aw heeelllll no, we're getting outta here."
Luke -- Ossanlin's reaction to Salem is brilliant. XD
'Quickly,' in this case, being an understatement. It was zero to stabbing in record time, even by GESB standards.
Lucky for everyone Fayleth's in charge at the moment, I think. Terenia's kind of scary inside her head there
Uhh I have some catching up to do! 
Good feeling, no?
Man, a diplomat Salem ain't
And, of course, trust Al to begin giving a lecture to a couple of strangers
