Ranmir

 is a Nord who lives with his sister Birna in Birna's Oddments, a shop in Winterhold. Ranmir used to be happy and cheerful person, according to the innkeeper, as he was in love with Isabelle Rolaine. After his lover left him, he became a drunk. He spends most of his time at the local inn, the Frozen Hearth, drowning his sorrow.

Interactions
The innkeeper asks the Dragonborn to find out what happened to his lover, Isabelle Rolaine, because he doesn't like the state Ranmir is in. Talk to the people at the inn and find out that Vex, a thief in Riften, knows more about Isabelle. Talking to Vex reveals that Isabelle wanted to make some money from stealing, but she wasn't very good at it. Vex then sent her to Hob's Fall Cave. Isabelle's body is there along with a letter written for Ranmir explaining her intentions.

Take the letter and give it to Ranmir to give him closure on his lover's death. After receiving this news, Ranmir no longer tries to drink himself to death. Note that this quest has no monetary reward, but does count towards helping the people of Winterhold in the process of becoming Thane.

Haran may also give a side-quest to convince Ranmir to pay his bar tab, which can be done with speech challenge, or by offering to pay the tab for him. Haran might give the quest even if Ranmir is dead.
