Ebony Warrior

"You are my last challenge. Only you can send me to Sovngarde with honor. Make your preparations. When you are ready, come find me at my last vigil."

- Ebony Warrior

The Ebony Warrior is a mysterious Redguard warrior clad in a full set of ebony armor. He can only be encountered at level 80 or higher.

The Ebony Warrior
Upon reaching level 80, the Ebony Warrior will wait for the Dragonborn in one of the main cities in Skyrim. When spoken to, he explains he has beaten all previous foes and enemies, and his last challenge is to face the Dragonborn. Ultimately, his wish is for his soul to be sent to Sovngarde.

He requests the Dragonborn to meet him at his Last Vigil, a campsite located high in the Velothi Mountains, for a fight to the death.

Resistances and immunities
The Ebony Warrior has 50% resistance to fire, frost and shock damage through his enchanted apparel. As a Redguard, he is 50% resistant to poison. He is also immune to the following spells and shouts:
 * Ash Shell
 * Bend Will
 * Dead Thrall
 * Ice Form
 * Paralyze
 * Soul Tear
 * Wabbajack
 * Whirlwind Cloak
 * Vampiric Grip
 * Disarm

Perks
The Ebony Warrior boasts a large number of perks in several skills which makes him a formidable opponent.

Dragon Shouts
The Ebony Warrior is capable of using the Thu'um and knows at least two Dragon Shouts:
 * Unrelenting Force
 * Disarm

Spells

 * Close Wounds
 * Ironflesh
 * Frost Cloak
 * Conjure Storm Atronach

Equipment
The Ebony Warrior carries a selection of enchanted ebony armor, weapons and jewelry. This includes:

Misc

 * Black Soul Gem (Grand)
 * Daedra Heart
 * Human Heart
 * One flawless gem of each type
 * Five potions of vigorous healing

Combat

 * This section should mention his style of combat during battle. Anything else will be removed.

The Ebony Warrior prefers melee combat in battle, using Frost Cloak and mage armor spells in conjunction with his sword and shield. Unlike common melee opponents, he is more aggressive in combat, frequently using power attacks and shield bashes. He also uses a level three Unrelenting Force when in close proximity.

He will give chase or switch to his bow if any player attempts to flee. Occasionally, his paralysis perks with his sword or bow render the Dragonborn immobile for several seconds.

He uses healing spells and will heal himself for a large amount if his health drops too low. He also possesses healing potions which he will use if he has taken enough damage.

One of the most potentially dangerous advantages the Ebony Warrior has in combat is the risk of damaging oneself upon striking him due to his Heavy Armor perk, Reflect Blows. The damage received is equal to that which was dealt and can sometimes be potentially fatal.

The Ebony Warrior stands at a scale of 1.21 and Tsun at a scale of 1.34 in comparison to the Dragonborn, who stands at a scale of 0.95-1.08, depending on race and gender. His skin color is also noticeably darker than any of the other characters.

 * Even though he possesses one-handed perks that affects War Axes and Maces, the Ebony Warrior does not make use of these perks as he only uses a sword for melee combat.
 * If the Dragonborn defeats the Ebony Warrior before going to Sovngarde during the quest "Sovngarde," the Ebony Warrior cannot be seen there.
