Err, wow, I can't say I got anything even close to that sort of impression from him - he came off as a tired, world-weary old man who made his peace with death (and almost seems to embrace it) long before you ever arrived to do the deed to me, and he accepts his fate all the same whether you hear him out or not.
Since we have no contact with him prior to this particular meeting, its impossible to know whether he's been "embracing his death" before witnessing a Dark Brotherhood assassin plow through his heavy guard, then break into his locked room and catch him completely defenseless. For all we know, such plots for his death are a daily occurance and have never before make it past his lowest level guards.
But of course he *now* Embraces his own death as it stares him in the face. Because he sees it as a badge of office. Again, pay attention to his speech. He talks about past Leaders having inevidable meetings of destiny with Assassins. He talks about these historical events reverantly, as if history itself won't see him as "great" unless he meets the same fate as those who came before him.
That's Vanity, not courage.
I'd have had much more respect for him had he unsheathed that fancy weapon the lore says he should have, then challenged the Dark Brotherhood assassin to a one-on-one melee duel, Nord Style..
