Titus Mede II

Titus Mede II is the reigning Emperor of Tamriel during the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

He was assassinated by the Dragonborn as part of the Dark Brotherhood quest line. He comes to Skyrim on a visit after his cousin Vittoria Vici is killed by a Dark Brotherhood assassin during her wedding. The Emperor plays a large role in the Dark Brotherhood quest line. The player is required to assassinate the Emperor twice, he fails the first time due to the first Emperor the player kills being a decoy, the real Emperor is later killed in the Hail Sithis! quest and the player is rewarded 20,000 gold by Amound Motierre who plays a role in the earlier stages of the Brotherhood quest line, when you meet the real Emperor, before you kill him, he asks you if you will kill the person who put out the contract on his head (Amound Montierre) this is optional and you gain nothing from doing it except the satisfaction of a kill, as well as a fair few valuable jewels on his corpse. If the Emperor is killed before the conclusion of the Imperial Legion questline, Jarl Elisif will not be able to be named High Queen of Skyrim.
