Actually that quest is more about the Thalmor than the Empire, and originally you would have been able to get Tullius to release him, but that's because of a programming error, and most of your confrontations are against the Thalmor, not the Empire. And that may be because the Emperor needs to be replaced. And sort, but who is Icerunner?
