Damn, now I'm starting to feel bad about killing him. :'(

Though Heimskr did give me a laugh once. During the battle for Whiterun, as I was running to defend the city from the Stormcloak assault, all the citizens were safely locked inside their homes... except Heimskr. He was still preaching at the shrine, in the middle of a huge battle! Give the guy credit where it's due, he's certainly dedicated!

Plus, just to add to the hilarity: given Heimskr's zeal when it comes to Talos, I think we can safely assume that he's a Stormcloak supporter. And what happened during the battle of Whiterun? His house was destroyed by a Stormcloak catapult. I wonder if the irony ever struck him.
