Titus Mede II wasn't all bad. He reclaimed the Imperial City in a fantastic battle while wielding Goldbrand. And when you come against him as the listener of the Dark Brotherhood, he accepts his inescapable fate and only asks that you kill the traitor.

I honestly think that the empire will stand even less of a chance since he is dead. The Imperial Council will be squabbling and murdering each other to become emperor, leaving the empire in an even weaker state, and if the Aldmeri Dominion invades then: they will succeed in taking Cyrodiil, and eventually all of Tamriel except for Black Marsh and (possibly) Hammerfell.
