Tacitus Sallustius

"Need a sword? Uh, how about a small sword? Nail-sized?"

Tacitus Sallustius is a citizen of Markarth and works for Ghorza gra-Bagol at the blacksmith forge near Cidhna Mine. The Breton is an admitted failure at smithing and can only produce nails. Ghorza is frustrated with him and offers the player a miscellaneous quest to obtain The Last Scabbard of Akrash.

Tacitus will take ownership of the blacksmith shop if Ghorza is killed. This may happen immediately after the quest No One Escapes Cidhna Mine, depending in part on how the player chooses to complete it. Ironically, when bartering, he will still claim to have "the finest weapons and armor."
