To all Nord-lovers out there, i mean no offense, but this may be actually true. Didn't you read Ulfric's Dossier in the Thalmor Embassy? And how they describe Ulfric as an "Asset"?

Here is some information about a Sleeper Agent:

Don't take my word for it, see for yourself. He's an asset because he's being used to stir unrest within the empire, the Thalmor's plan is to drag out the civil war for as long as possible (with an Imperial victory at the end) to weaken them both for a future invasion, but by joining either side (since the dovahkiin and the dragons weren't expected and are wild cards) these plans can be somewhat foiled.
