I think you may be confused about the Bailey/Tullius thing...Gen. Tullius is there at Helgen, presiding over the entire execution - Ralof points him out as you're carted into town, before rambling about homemade mead and Imperial architecture for a bit, and then Tullius makes Ulfric stand there gagged and listen to him do a police commissioner sort of sermon about what scumbags the Stormcloaks are, and then after they behead the first sap he says to get on with it (possibly a Monty Python reference in passing there) and Capt. Bailey then orders you forward, making some reference to your race. Point being, Tullius is there at the chopping block, hurrying along the procedings, making sure that you, the random _________ that just happened along the border at the wrong time, gets your head lopped off with the rest of them. That in itself is just an example of the cruel negligence bred by bureaucracy, nothing personal, but many folks have taken a dislike to Tullius anyway, since he did after all stand there while his people knowing dragged a presumably innocent person to execution without any semblance of due process. However, I doubt those players also attempt to express their gratitude to Alduin for saving their hides, when they are reacquainted later in the story. Oh.....I didn't spoil anything there, did I?
