A bit of a stretch, but then all this is...

When Irenicus was cast out of Suldanessalar, we know a few things. Two important ones are he lost his connection to being an elf (so basically, became a human, or at very least means he lost his natural resistances to charm), and his sister found new life in undeath. Maybe Irenicus did the same as Bodhi, but only in a different fashion: He used the vampires his sister drew to "charm" him into remembering love, and emotions. Then when that no longer worked, he eventually switched to Dryads. After all, (far as I know), we don't know how much time passed between Jon's fall and the events of BG2. You can't even fit it within a normal human lifespan due to fact one of the two is a vampire (and thus ageless), and the other experimented with many fashions to reverse his curse. No doubt he is of the intelligence to realize such a powerful, elven curse would take longer than a human lifespan to not only break but come out stronger for. He probably was wise enough to realize vampirism would rob him of far more, but actual vampires may have their uses for what is basically a human. Hope this wasn't too stream of consciousness to not make some sense lol.
