They played a part in the Odyssey storyline, and maybe also in Onslaught, though I'm not too sure about it. (I read them both back to back so to me they're essentially the same story.)
Prior to the the blocks' timeline, the cephalid drove out the merfolk around Otaria's waters. The three main characters for the underwater drama were Aboshan, the emperor, Llawan, his wife, and Laquatus, the last remaining Merfolk. Their part of the story revolves around Laquatus' schemes to reclaim the territories lost to the Cephalids and reestablish the Mer empire.
It seemed much more like Aboshan was evil, and the second he was out of the picture they stopped being an "evil" race.
