It may seem unfair but Delphine did ask "Are you sure?" before giving them the oath to slay all Dov.

This is simple ... the Blades are Dov killers, is no different than the Silver hand killing werewolves, or the Vigilants and Dawnguard killing vampires, etc... although the Dawnguard compromise their priciples - I suppose they lack some credibility, pretty much like the companions, who keep propagating the mistake they made with witches and ritually induct their inner circle to serve hircene? I mean for real - just stop drinking beast blood, kill the Harbringer and pick a new one. ;)

 Which brings us to another points...

The Companions - who beat up people and sell-sword for coin but do so in some weird up-front way they deem to be honorable, even if being moonborn.

The Blades - Slay dragons exterminate them all.

The thieves guild/nightengales - rob, steal and extort to the tune and support of deadra Noctunal.

Dark brotherhood - assainate for hire... what always got me was it's apparent you may need to kill someone to hire these people in a black sacrifice to begin with, so why not just kill the person you wished assasibated instead?

Stormcloaks - bigot nords who distrust magic and hate mer typically due past relations over lands, but rally a fight for their religious freedom. Still the politocal landscape of Jarldoms  (do not know why some lands are label march - no marques), While feudal in respects they attain fairness in ideas of one on one combat between rulers in disputes and fealty via a moot for high-king reminds one of old Polish commonweath of 15th century... a step towards democracy.

Imperials - force the wishes of the empire (emperor) at any costs to maintain political control over all.

Thalmor - seeking mer dominion over other races, killing off thier own Altmer to gain themself the power to do so. In turn aim to overthrow the empire.

 The Dunmer - worshipers of Azura, Meridia, (good Deadra?) ... not much different than the reachmen in many respects... with exception of higher level cultural aspects common with long lived mer.

 even the College if Winterhold is not without it's flawed view on life and happiness...

We could state faction after faction they're all somewhat evil in respects to some end in reaching what they percieve as goal...

 ALL the same...

 Exception of one, the Greybeards (two if you count the nords of Skaal in DB). The  Greybeards are pacifist living in peace and thought awaiting the end...

 Speaking of which Paarthurnax is one of the few true to his word... sure he turn coat on Alduin but was after Kyne's command or realization that cruel enslavement of lesser setient beings was somehow wrong. All the same we all know who and what Paarthurnax stands for... so does/did his old master  Alduin. The blades just wish him dead because that's what the Blades do - Kill Dragons. AND the most likely evil, untrustable soul in all of Skyrim? Well is easy to see... "Dovahkinn", often manipulating and allying to any or every faction mortal or god, beit Aedra or Deadra in a lust for power and abilities disguished as heroism the  "Dovahkinn" will stop at nothing to suit their means.
