Help!

[Majestic]

So i've hit up google about my problem and there is nothing on the internet to help me. Im currently going through the Dark Brotherhood questline. Im up to the quest "Breaching Security" where i have to kill Gaius Maro, i have done so. I killed him whist he was in Solitude, then planted the letter on him.
When i report back to Gabriella all she can say is "Gaius Maro still lives..."
Did i miss something or have other people had this problem?

Assuming you don't have a save from before the time you killed him, I guess a console command is your only way past it.

Make a backup save, then give this one a go:

setstage DB06 200

I'll give it a crack.

Seems to have worked, thanks :)

I appreciate it but, it's bugged the next quest in the questline, it won't launch. I've even tried the console commands.

Exactly where and how are you stuck? What are the NPCs in the Brotherhood saying?

[Majestic]

Nothing, i've watched the next mission on a youtube video, im supposed to go down the stairs in the sanctuary where they're all standing in a cirlce, after Cicero poisons the lizard guy. Astrid is suposed to talk to me and the quest is supossed to lauch right there. If i try to talk to her all she says is "Brother?" and then 1 option comes up, "Tell me more about yourself," is my oonly option.

Run:

getstage DB06

Then:

getstage DB07

What are the results?

After noting them down, try:

setstage DB07 10

... and talk to Astrid. Do not save after this last command unless it puts you "back on track".

Can adding setstage DB06 200 cure my problem with "The Prophet" quest? I can't get the ques to finihs..the stupid priest will not become my thrall.

No, the command aims to jump to a specific part of the specific quest MwL is having problems with. In your case, this command might work:

setstage DLC1VQ03Vampire 70

This comes from first looking up the quest on UESP[www.uesp.net], going down to the quest stages[www.uesp.net] section, then reading the information there - this gives you the "internal" name of the quest (DLC1VQ03Vampire), and the numbers representing each "stage" of the quest (70 being the one corresponding to the part you want to jump to - just after the priest has been enthralled).

Make sure you create a manual save before running the command - it's always possible it'll break more than it fixes, and you need to have a way to revert in case that happens. You're usually better off reverting to a save from before when the problem became apparent - personally, I keep about a dozen saves at any given time, just in case I need to "undo" a few hours of gameplay.

Going back isn't fun, but in the long run it generally leads to fewer problems.
