Yeah, he's Khajiit CIA with all the propaganda-driven "super cool Adult In The Room that pragmatically murders enemies of the regime" vibes that entails.
It does help that most of the people he's killing are aristocratic elf nazis.
The expansion packs gave us some decent characters, including some Altmer that didn't like the Altmer nazis to the point of making their entire island disappear from them (but now cooperating with them in the present because fucking liberalism again).
On that note, the Psijics kind of embody both what I love and hate about ESO's writing: it actually gets to go to and use all the cool, weird places and things from the lore that are seemingly banned from mainline games because they step outside Todd Howard's unseasoned mashed potato vision, which is really cool and an actually good use of the setting, but then they also tend to have really underwhelming writing and story design because it's an MMO. Like just walking around Vvardenfell or the Morrowind mainland or Valenwood or Elsweyr is really cool, but then the actual storylines there are just kind of shit. There are flashes of good character design and some writing that actually grapples with how fucked up and weird the TES setting is supposed to be, and they definitely do this better than the mainline Bethesda studio, but overall the writing and stories are just kind of bland slop spread over really cool and nice looking places.
It also doesn't help that the way they split their expansions up means if you just buy the latest major expansion you miss the first story beat of every arc, then get about 60% of its story, then miss the remaining ~35% or so because it's all sliced up into dungeon stories and minor DLCs that suck and are also very short but contain the ending of their respective arc's story.
