A well-known musician, Orpheus is a member of Bacchus's cult. Though he is not officially one of the Bacchae himself, his job is to use his music to influence humans to join the cult - which is the one and only reason he has not been turned into a Bacchae yet.
1.19 - Lure of the Lyre
When Hercules follows the sound of music through the woods, he finds Orpheus in a clearing playing the aulos. They chat for a moment before Orpheus convinces him to go with him to the cave where the bacchae usually have their parties. All of this, it turns out, is a set-up by Bacchus himself to turn Hercules into a bacchae. After Iolaus and Lilith accompany Hercules to the cave a second time, resulting in Lilith being bitten, Orpheus and Hercules again meet in the woods. This time, the circumstances are less favorable and Hercules demands to know how to prevent Lilith from becoming a bacchae. Orpheus tells him of a riddle about 'washing your spirit clean', prompting Hercules to return to the cave with Iolaus and the quickly-fading Lilith. When the bacchae swarm and nearly kill them all, Eurydice prompts Orpheus to play his lyre to distract and soothe them, allowing the cadets to escape. He later can be seen with Eurydice, heading off for parts unknown to start a new life away from the cult.
