In my first playthrough I killed him. Partly out of mercy (he was bleeding like a stuck pig), partly for his "betrayal" but mostly because he's mad as a hatter. I had read his journals before travelling to Dawnstar (and I mean actually read) and while I had found his story sad and quite plausible, insanity is still insanity.

After that I had read up on the subject and found out that he becomes a follower, Lucien Lechance thinks him valuable and loyal, something confirmed by the Nightmother.

From a roleplaying perspective I'm still torn. He does follow the Five Tenets and seems far more loyal to the true Brotherhood than anyone else. Then again, he is a total nutter and in my mind it can't be ruled out that he will grow increasingly jealous of the true Listener, perhaps eventually leading to the point where he considers his/her death justified, because he/she does something that he (Cicero) doesn't consider right. He implies that he's disappointed to say the least when the player is revealed to be the Listener, something that still seems to bother him if you let him live as can be heard in his conversations with (or rather: at) the Nightmother.
