Wuunferth the Unliving

"Strength and steel are well and good, but magic is the true power in this world."

- Wuunferth the Unliving

Wuunferth the Unliving is an old Nord mage in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Serving as court-wizard for Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, he teaches Adept-level Destruction magic to the Dragonborn. Wuunferth resides in the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm. He has a room at the end of the hall on the second floor (first door on the left when entering Palace of the Kings), which has an Arcane Enchanter and Alchemy Lab. Wuunferth may attend your wedding if you invest in him.

Interactions
He is framed by Calixto as the "Butcher" of Windhelm in the quest Blood on the Ice, and depending on the player's decisions, he may be wrongly imprisoned and will mock the player on his/her "detective" skills.

Even if his jail cell is unlocked, he remains in the cell and appears oblivious to the fact.

He will also send Hired Thugs after the player if something is stolen from him.

Quests

 * Blood on the Ice
 * Hired Muscle

Trivia

 * During the quest "Blood on the Ice", Wuunferth is confronted of the possibility of being the Butcher. He denies the allegations by mentioning that, as a Mage of the College of Winterhold, Necromancy is not allowed. However, Phinis Gestor when asked, will specificly mention that Necormancy was in fact never disallowed at the College. He considers the Mage's guild ban on Necromancy to be an "archaic poilicy".
