User blog comment:Harold Burned-Mane/The Truth about Ulfric Stormcloak/@comment-1600847-20130912182108

I wouldn't be surprised if Brunwulf it an Imperial spy/agent. Just like Dengeir in Falkreath and Thongvar in Marakarth are Stormcloak agents. Come to think of it, all the replacement Jarls from the Civil War questline are likely Imperial/Stormcloak agents.

Personally, I don't really like either side of the conflict. The Mede Empire is a mere shadow of the Septim Empire from the previous games, and the Stormcloaks are nationalists (not racist as some say). Both are fighting a war which ultimately benefits the Thalmor, as each dead Legionnaire and Stormcloak is one less soldier to fight the Thalmor when next they invade.
