While he is not the first power hungry leader, the thing I don't get is why kill Torygg in the first place? He basically ignited the whole civil war by performing that action, when he could have at the very least tried diplomacy.

And yes, I know Tiber did quite some rather debatable actions, but I do not see Ulfric doing anything useful in the near future. At least ol'Tiber made a continent spanning empire that overall, never seemed to oppressing and was rather good at keeping the peace.
