aside from the obvious "you invaded my tomb so die" i can't think of why we can't be friends

he beat Mirakk originally, so wouldn't he want to help us do it again

on the other hand, i can't imagine that he has a ton of faith in Dragonborns as a whole, so maybe he wants to kill us and stop miraak from returning at all

am i over-thinking this? Remember, he is a loyal Dragon Priest. He serves the Dragons. Who you are trying to defeat. You are his enemy. He might be a noble leader and just warrior, but he is still the servant of the World Eater and aided the Dragons in the oppression of the Nords. And so he attacks you, because even though you share a common enemy, he is the Dragon Priest, and you are the Dragon Hunter.
