Complete the last Dark Brotherhood quest and exit the Sanctuary. Cicero will approach you and after that, you can recruit him as a follower.
As a follower, he's tougher than others (high minimum level, high maximum level; in fact, I think he has the highest starting level of any follower) and has a good weapon (an ebony dagger), though he has no armor. His default equipment can't be taken (just like any other follower), but it improves his sneaking and muffles his movement. This, coupled with his high sneak skill, makes him the best follower for an assassin. He also will commit any crime you instruct him to, and he will gladly murder for his Listener.
Due to his high max level, once the player is past level 30, Cicero cannot be disarmed by draugr.
He is also essential and cannot be killed.
