Also on the whole "power hungry" thing, its true everyone thinks Ulfric is in the War only to become High King, though it doesn't appear to be true. He does wish to be High King i'm not denying that, but its not the main reason for the Civil War. That much is obvious. What we know is: 1) Torygg had enough time to side with Ulfric, the Markarth Insident was 20 before his death, if he wanted to side with Ulfric he would have. 2)How else would be High King, Balgruff? no he supported the Empire, had he sided against them then yeah he seems like a better fit for High King. 3)He appears too dedicated to his cause to be in it just to be King, so unless he is an evil master mind or has multiple personality desorder or is just so crazy that he started to believe in the cause he allegidly created to start the war, then its safe to say that its not his main goal(his main being the well being of Skyrim/its people).
