If you read it, you would know he is a Thalmor sleeper agent, and that he's just meant to keep the Empire weak while the AD prepares to wipe them out. Really, though, no matter who you side with, you make the races of men more ready for a new war, as winning with either side lets everyone divert their attention toward the elves... I believe it also says he stopped taking thalmore orders after a time though, that they havent been able to get in contact with him for a time

anyways my 2 cents, after playing both sides twice, I can definitely say Ulfric seems the better of the 2 groups. Tullius' character sounded (and i believe intentionally) to not give a care about the nords and their culture it seemed like i was helping Rome in its corrupt, dying years, not the same empire of the first four games. His lieutenant seemed more interested in the quest to unify skyrim then Tullius and the empire supporting the Thalmore, when your captured and the general answered to the Thalmor chairwoman in skyrim thats kind of the nail in the coffin that The Imperial Run Empire is kinda dead.... where as Ulfric honored Skyrim's traditions, spared his enemies, if he was truely evil that basement in solitude would be empty, his speeches are filled with more concern towards skyrim, he killed The High King in the traditional maner where as the Imperials make it sounded like he snuck into his room at night and slit his throat, he even has no negitive comments about you when your say a Dark Elf or Khajit and wish to join the storm clocks, his general even says somethign like "oh dont get me wrong, we dont mind that your X Race, we take all good soldiers" Sure he seems racist towards Argonians and Dark Elves but anyone remember Morrowind? the Dark Elves had a less tolerable attitude towards you unless you played as one of them and hated you when you played as an Argonian (I think Khajit too). I definitely felt like more of a good guy helping the Storm Cloaks and while the Empire seemed like good guys in the past they just didnt feel the same, like i said felt like aiding Rome prior to its fall
