That would be true if the it was the mentor talking to Marcus, since Marcus is working for the empire. However, the line is said by Marcus speaking to the player character, who is heavily implied to be working for the mentor. 
Revision: ''You would kill your own kind just so you can kill the Emperor''.
So there is the Emperor then.
I still do doubt that it is the Emperor Marcus does mention in his speech. It seems Marcus isn't really loyal to Empire, else he wouldn't act sorry for fighting back and killing you instead. Another thing we shouldn't forget that technically, Marcus isn't our goal, our goal is Inhibitor that he is defending, yet we are told to get rid of him. In other words, at some point, we are forced to do certain things, which pretty much means there's someone standing behind us, and we pretty much will do things in the Name of our Master.

Except your opponents didn't talk much and ''the story'' was quite simple, objective obvious and little mystery during entire campaign play.
Now we could talk a little about these two achievements - Stay a While and Listen and My Little Dungeon. I have some thoughts about these ones but I'd like to hear some confirmation from devs. In my opinion it will be some sort of MPD mode ( may be either a separate playable map, or just the visual version of your personal ''domain'' ). Considering the fact there will be decent amount of voice lines, and 5 hours stay in your home dungeon requirement, I have a feeling it's playable map, else we will simply have to stay afk of sorts, hoping those voice lines do trigger on their own.

I can already see the major plot twist at the end of the campaign.
Underlord: The Emperor is kill
Mentor: No Underlord, you are the Emperor
And then Underlord was the Emperor.
What personally got me curious about Marcus was his...well, rather mundane name. I thought Underlords were some form of aether-born abominations with names difficult to pronounce for a human, but here we have Underlord Marcus. Then again, it might hint at the fact that maybe at least a few of the Underlords were humans, once. Or that we have a classical Tim The Wizard scenario.
