I can actually give 6 reasons

1) He's the only Thalmor Justiciar who's kind to the player

2) He can help you at the Embassy

3) He considers you as his friend once you complete his quest

4) He's the only person who's part of the Thalmor that I actually liked

5) If you kill Ondolemar, you will get a bounty on your head (unless u kill him undetected)

6) Even if you're not convinced, he already dies once Markath is captured by/give to the Stormcloacks
