I think that the Elder Council had Titus II assassinated to put someone else on the throne in preparation for the upcoming war with the Dominion. Maybe an Emperor who's more warlike or more hostile towards the Dominion. Or maybe it's just a power-play at an inopportune time, but I prefer the former.

Given how old Titus appears to be (I'd say late 50s at the youngest), I'm sure he has kids, unless he's sterile or they all died, and iven how succession appears to work in the Empire his eldest child will be crowned Emperor/Empress. Who knows, maybe they even worked with the Elder Council to get Titus II killed.
