Obviously, I would taunt him into attacking me, or use a Frenzy spell on him so I can kill him without being permanently expelled, but will the quest work properly if he's already dead, rendering me unable to give him the letter to become Arch-Mage peacefully, or to challenge him in the arena in Vivec?
Can you still become Arch-Mage of the Mage’s Guild if you kill Trebonius before getting the quest to become Arch-Mage

According to Fessic's Beginner's Guide to Console Commands, which I found via Google expressly to answer this question, the maximum amount is 65,000. I haven't tested this myself, but it sounds like he knows what he's talking about:
Add Items Directly to Your Inventory: player -> additem "[object ID]"
I realize this one's a bit confusing so let's try a few examples:
For a Quality Restore Health Potion type:
player -> additem "p_restore_health_q" 1For three Quality Potions of Levitation type:
player -> additem "p_levitation_q" 3Be sure to pay attention to the spaces before and after the arrow thingy.
Here's a few more Object IDs just to familiarize you with the naming convention:
- Sload Soap, "ingred_sload_soap_01"
- Quality Feather Potion, "p_feather_q"
- Lantern, “light_de_lantern_06_128”
Add Gold to Your Inventory: player -> additem gold_001
Example: player -> additem gold_001 535Greedier types should note that the maximum amount you can add per execution is 65,000
This is probably a good time to mention that if you open the console and press the up arrow, your last command entry will come back up. Keep pressing up to scroll through all previously entered commands. Could save you a little typing now and then...
The last note on pressing the up arrow is pretty useful, definitely use that.
A Note on Binary Math
I would not be surprised if the actual number is 65535, which is the 16th power of 2 (minus one). This is the largest possible number that can be stored in a 16-bit unsigned integer.
To support this, note some math:
99999999999 (decimal) = 1011 1010 0100 0011 1011 0111 0011 1111 11111 (binary)
Truncating that to 16-bits gives
0111 0011 1111 11111 (binary) = 59391 (decimal)
Thus explaining why it has been giving you that particular amount.
No, as far as this site explains, the extension assumes that the main quest is complete (or at least progressed far enough). Though it may confuse one if they never started the main quest, it should be ok to do the extension pack before the main quest.
EDIT: Killing the king won't have any negative effect other than losing a reward from him, according to this forum and a wiki excerpt one user included.
Best Answer
Without the use of console commands? You can effectively do anything with console commands. The only way other than that, if you've already killed him, is if you killed him while already being a "Master Wizard" at the actual time you killed him. (The rank in the guild directly preceding Arch-Mage) If you weren't, then no, you can't become Arch-Mage.
If you are not opposed to using Console Commands, the easiest thing to do would be
Find his corpse.
Open console commands (~ key on PC, typically)
Click on his corpse.
Type 'resurrect' without the apostrophes.
Press Enter. He should then be alive again. If he attempts to attack you afterwards, open console commands again, referencing him, and enter 'stopcombat'. Then you can bribe him to like you more, and not attack you.
Hope this helps. :)
UPDATE
If you can't find his body, you can also try:
[resurrect trebonius artorius] (without the brackets)
or
["trebonius artorius"->resurrect] (with quotes, no brackets though)
If he still wants to kill you when he sees you,
["trebonius artorius"->setfight 0] (with quotes, no brackets)
If you want to see him immediately after entering this, you can use the placeatme command:
[placeatpc "Trebonius" 20,10,1]
LASTLY
If you want to be cheap about it, and skip straight to completing the guild quest and becoming Archmage, you can
[PCRaiseRank "Mages Guild"] in order to gain a rank
[Journal MG_Guildmaster 100] to complete the quest.
