Julio Cesare was introduced to the plot when he came to the Academy as an alleged transfer student. Why? If you follow the logic of the plot, it can only be that the Pope sent him there - as a spy! We know that the pope wanted to lead a crusade against the elves. Apparently, the Pope knew quite early that Louise was a void wielder. It is easy to imagine that he was planning to harness Louise's skills for his Crusade. Julio apparently needed to explore a way to do that. Julio probably knew as the Pope's familiar the plans of his master. It remains unclear if he agreed. Maybe he was not. An animal familiar would have had no other option but to support the aspirations of its summoner, but the human familiar of a void wielder has far more options - he can even rebel against his summoner and kill him (see Brimir and Sasha). Then, Julio's aspirations to cement the relationship between Saito and Louise would be an attempt to subtly undermine his master's plans.
