J'darr

J'darr is a Khajiit you come across in the Alftand Glacial Ruins. He has long since been driven mad by the time he is found by the Dragonborn, and is standing next to the body of his brother, J'zhar, saying,

"What? Who is this, Brother? Another of the smooth skins looking for food? But this one wasn't trapped with us... No, no. You must be the one who took my Skooma!"

If you try to talk to him while he is saying this, the text 'This person is busy' will appear onscreen. Once he is done talking to his dead brother, he will turn around and attack you.

He is addicted to Skooma and his brother J'zhar took him on an expedition, led by Sulla Trebatius, in order to try to "bring him down slowly." The expedition also consisted of Sulla's bodyguard Umana, Valie (a thief and mage from Windhelm), Endrast (locally renowned explorer), and Yag gra-Gortwog (an Orc warrior and labor foreman). However, they were forced inside the ruin by a storm. J'darr began to go into withdrawal, and the other party members believed him responsible for the disappearance of the mage, Valie. As written in J'zhar's journal:

"I've run out of the little skooma I brought and J'darr is getting pretty bad. He's started hallucinating creatures coming out of the ice and the ruins, the others are starting to think he may be behind Valie's disappearance, but I know he would never do something like that."

However, in spite of his skooma withdrawal, the 'hallucinations' are implied to (in part) be the Falmer who inhabit the ruins, and it is in fact the Falmer who took Valie. J'darr and his brother are apparently the only two of the group to avoid the Falmer's grasp, but it is unclear whether J'darr killed J'zhar or if the latter died from unrecorded wounds.
