Taron Dreth

Taron Dreth is a Dunmer mage NPC who appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. In the quest Lost to the Ages, Katria explains how Taron Dreth took the credit for her discovery of the Aetherium Forge.

Interaction.

After completing Lost to the Ages, Taron Dreth may appear as a Random Encounter. If you have one the Aetherium Items (Aetherium Crown, Shield, or Staff) in your inventory, he'll ask you how you got it. If you answer "I've heard of you...from Katria", he'll say "you know too much" and become hostile.
