What development does Tullius have. Why is he such a jerk? why does he hate nordic culture so much? what is his backstory? we don't know. He just does what he does because he can! he's probably my least favorate character in TES behind the Thalmor, Nazim and Lydia. Tullius hates Nordic culture because he doesn't understand it. Once you finish the Civil War for the Imperials, he does come to respect the Nords and Skyrim itself. He does what he does because he believes in the Empire, or at least what it once stood for, and doesn't want it fracturing any further than it already has.

But yeah, Bethesda did forget to provide him a backtory.
