He might be psychotic, but his reasons for attacking Astrid and leaving were correct. She abandoned the Tenets of the Dark Brotherhood and undermined the Night Mother's authority continually. Not only that, but she also betrayed the Listener later on, effectually breaking the Creed again, which nearly caused the destruction of the whole Brotherhood. Ever played Assassin's Creed? Same thing happens in the beginning. In short, Astrid deserved to die, at least by Dark Brotherhood standards. Cicero may have been off his rocker, but he at least had a respect for the Tenets and honor for the Brotherhood, which were worth more than Astrid's false sense of leadership and vision in a brotherhood of assassins that required strict rules. So I spared Cicero.
