Is Ulfric mentally insane? No, not really. Perhaps though, he's had a few wires knocked loose upstairs since he got captured. Have any of you ever started on the Imperial side and switched over to the Stormcloaks with the Jagged Crown? You give it to Ulfric and suddenly gets all paranoid on you. Muttering and such. I think I even recall him pondering if perhaps Tulllius lined the d*** thing with posion, for Christ sake.

I think Ulfric has noble goals and all, but he's going about it all wrong. Maybe if had been less vocal from the start, a situation similar to Hammerfell could have occurred, where the Empire offically denounced them but also left them some decomissioned Leggionaires to keep fighting the good fight under the radar, so to speak. Alas, Ulfric really isn't a subtle guy.

"Power corrupts and absolute power sorrupts absolutely." I just think he needs someone there to check his decisions, besides just Galmar. Galmar is a tad... bloodthirsty for the job.
