I think we all agree that the Emperor is just the main target and doesn't feature until the end. I know that Astrid did betray the Dark Brotherhood but only wanted to keep her authority in the sanctuary and didn't realise what the consequences of going to Maro would be (definitely gullible). Maro is the main antagonist as he features more than the Emperor and has a reason to hate the Dark Brotherhood (death of his son).
