Laelette the Vampire

&nbsp Laelette is a NPC Vampire that appears in the quest "Laid to Rest" in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The player will encounter Laelette after meeting with Helgi, who was the daughter of Hroggar, and one of two victims of the housefire in the distinguished burned down house in Morthal. After some dialogue with Helgi, the player will agree to play hid and seek with her, in order to gain information on the housefire. Helgi states that she will only play after dark, as that is when the other one comes out. When asked who the other one is, she will say that she might be listening, and then will disappear.

Upon travelling to the Morthal Graveyard after dark to play hide and seek with the Helgi, the player will be confronted by Laelette, a vampire who has seemingly dug up Helgi's coffin, and she will become immediately hostile once aware of your presence. The player will have no choice but to slay Laelette. The player must be cautious, as he/she might contract Sanguinare Vampiris, and if not treated, will become a vampire themself.

After slaying Laelette, the player will be confronted by her husband, who was unaware of where she'd actually been, and had been misled on the topic of her whereabouts. After the player suggests that Alva might be a vampire, as Laelette had been spending time with her and had only recently contracted the disease, Laelette's widow becomes defensive and denies that Alva could have anything to do with it, let alone be a vampire.

The player is now free to carry on and complete the quest.
