I have to say that the Imperial who leads you away from danger (the same one who earlier promises earnestly to see that your remains are returned to your homeland) shows himself to be a good, honorable man (from his accent, I'd guess he is a Nord).. It's likely the game developers recognized they had weighted the choice so much in favor of the Stormcloaks they tossed in one respectable Imperial just so we'd have a semblance of a reason to choose the Imperial Legion.
