I whaked those guys before getting that quest and now it wont complete :( Anything I could do on the console to get the imperial guy see the light?

I'm not familiar with adding journal entries through the console, but you could always try

player-> placeatpc "NPC Name" 1,1,1

And then kill them again? It should fix your problem. For the names (actually the ID of the NPC), you may need to go into the construction set.

I don't have TESCS on my computer anymore but if you or someone else wants to look in the CS, find the guy who gives you the quest, look in the dialogue for the conversation where he gives you the quest and find the responce where he acknowledges it and look in the conditions for the journal index required for him to say that. It will usually have a couple of contitions, one saying the journal index (e.g. IL_quest 60) must be atleast this much but less than this much, the value you want is the lower one.

Then type into the console: journal INDEXNAME INDEXNUMBER

Then try, but this could be kind of complex if you've never done something like this before so it might be better for someone else to get the journal index.

I assume that we are speaking of the ‘bad people’ in the Balmora Council Club. If that is correct, the dialog for Larrius Varro is filtered by the dead count for the five Camonna Tong members (formally) taking residence there. It shouldn’t matter when you kill them, but in the construction set the filter checks “Dead: vadusa sathryon = 1”, etc., and it is possible that the count in your saved game has been set to something higher. Safer when modding is to filter with: “Dead: vadusa sathryon > 0” to avoid any glitches. So what do you do?

To confirm that the dead count for one or more of the five is messed up, you can type at the console: GetDeadCount “avadusa sathryon”, and repeat for the other four: marasa aren, madrale thirith, sovor trandel and thanelen velas. If any of these return values other than GetDeadCount >> 1, that is the problem. There does not appear to be a console command to set the dead count, and unfortunately you cannot resurrect the NPCs and kill them again since the count has to be exactly 1. If you have disposed of all five and want your reward you can type the following at the console:

If your crime level is greater than zero…
[spoiler]
journal town_balmora 30
player->additem “ring_surrounding_unique” 1
player->modReputation 1
[/spoiler]
If you did not increase your crime level in this action…
[spoiler]
journal town_balmora 35
player->additem “ring_surrounding_unique” 1
player->additem “bookskill_speechcraft1” 1
player->modReputation 1
[/spoiler]
That should close the quest for you, and Larrius Varro should begin to speak of other matters.

Edit: embarassing Freudian typo.
