Francois Motierre

Francois Motierre is a male Breton who lives in Chorrol. His house is left of the Arborwatch in Chorrol. He is a part of the Dark Brotherhood quest, The Assassinated Man. If you go into his house (the door has a Hard lock) before the quest and talk to him, he will first say "You... You're not the one Lachance was talking about! Please... Please, don't kill me! You can take anything you like, then just leave!". After that, he says "Please, just take what you want and leave! I won't call the guards, I swear!" and repeats it until the Dark Brotherhood quest.

In the Dark Brotherhood quest, The Assassinated Man, you must save Francois from an Argonian enforcer named Hides-His-Heart, by striking him with a specially poisoned knife named the "Langourwine Blade", mimicking death and fooling the enforcer.

His great grandson, Amound Motierre, appears in The Dark Brotherhood quests of Skyrim.
