The origin of Ulfric’s Thalmor allegiance conspiracy comes from a document located within the Thalmor Embassy. Related: Skyrim Side Quests More Fun Than The Actual Main Questline With these truths of the Aldermi Dominion and Thalmor established, it isn’t easy to imagine Ulfric supporting this faction. A Thalmor Agent is responsible for starting the Great War by delivering a cart full of Blade agents’ heads to the Emperor in Cyrodiil. The Thalmor is the Almderi Dominion’s ruling council and sends agents into foreign lands to enforce the elves’ will and spy on potential threats. Since the Tamrielic Empire’s beginnings, the two factions have harbored a fierce rivalry toward one another. The Aldmeri Dominion is the darkest faction in The Elder Scrolls franchise, set on world domination and elven control. Still, many of his actions point toward underlying support for the Thalmor’s interests in Skyrim. Likely, Ulfric isn’t aware his actions are playing directly into the Thalmor’s (and Aldmeri Dominion’s) hands. The nature of his allegiance to the Thalmor is unknown, as the organization frequently uses torture and manipulation to accomplish its goals for the Aldmeri Dominion. Ulfric Stormcloak is one of The Elder Scroll's most notable NPCs for his role in Skyrim's infamous Civil War, but some theorize that he is secretly working for the Thalmor.
