Did nobody else notice that the sob story he gave about killing the little girl was inconsistent? He claims he can't control himself when he's a werewolf... but when you confront him in the grotto, he's fully aware of what's going on.

Even assuming the stolen ring was responsible for the feral transformations, that still means that his escape from prison when he gives you the ring was his attempt at fleeing responsibility while Dragonborn faces Hircine's wrath.

A lot of us were deceived it seems.
