If you read his dossier found in the Thalmor Embassy, you can see how he is an "asset" to the Thalmor during the Civil War. And he really only cares about one thing: Ulfric. He just keeps muttering and blathering about bringing peace & independence to Skyrim & all that, but it's just simply a smoke-screen to incite people against the Empire, all for just his lust for the Throne.

Also, did you ever talk to Legate Rikke about Ulfric? She said he turned into a Self-serving Ego-Maniac. But this was only AFTER "The Markarth Incident". No offense to all Stormcloak lovers, just an opinion.

P.S. "Free Will is an Illusion." - Hermaeus Mora He was interogated, nothing says he was serverally tortured. The war is an asset to them, him rebelling against the Empire would spark a war and hurt the humans. Do you have literally any proof that this is true? Just one peice of proof is all I need. Let me guess, you have none. Because that theory is based on literally nothing.
