Amaund Motierre

 is a Breton in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the great grandson of Francois Motierre, and member of the Elder Council.

Locations
Motierre hides at Volunruud with his body guard Rexus. But after the quest Death Incarnate, he goes to The Bannered Mare in Whiterun. He seeks the death of Emperor Titus Mede II.

Whispers In The Dark
Astrid, of the Dark Brotherhood, requests that the Dragonborn investigate what Cicero has been up to, and who he is talking to in the lair of the Night Mother. Hiding with the Night Mother's coffin and eavesdropping on Cicero, the Dragonborn learns that Cicero is speaking to the Night Mother's remains, hoping she will speak back. Instead, she speaks to the Dragonborn, electing them as her Listener.

The Silence Has Been Broken
The Night Mother mentions a man named Amaund Motierre, who hides out at Volunruud, performing The Black Sacrament. She asks her new Listener to seek out Motierre. Threatened by the Night Mother's authority, Astrid asks the Dragonborn not to speak with Motierre, sending them on another contract.

To Kill An Empire
Eventually, Astrid sends the Listener to meet Motierre, who admits he wants the Emperor killed. After failing to kill the Emperor on the first attempt, the Listener finds him aboard The Katariah. The Dragonborn kills the Emperor, whose final wish is to have whoever set up the contract killed. Killing Motierre, however, is completely optional, with the only benefit being the loot on his corpse. He has a few high valued gems which can also be pickpocketed from him without killing him. Either way, the Dragonborn is rewarded 20,000.

Trivia

 * The voice of Amaund Motierre is provided by video-game sound designer and music composer Alexander Brandon.
 * Amaund Motierre is a relative of Francois Motierre from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The Hero of Kvatch helped Motierre fake his death. Francois let the Brotherhood kill his mother after performing the Black Sacrament and summoning the Dark Brotherhood; thus, the Motierre family has likely always had ties with the Dark Brotherhood.
 * The name "Motierre" may be from the Latin root "mort" or "mortus", meaning "dead".
 * Babette mentions that the surname "Motierre" is a very powerful and old name in Tamriel, existing even before she became a vampire three hundred years ago.
 * Throughout the emperor assassination questline, Motierre makes repeated references to momentous changes in the Empire's policies that the death of Titus Mede II will bring. It is not known what kind of changes they are.
 * Motierre grows a beard throughout the storyline.
 * If he is killed after he reveals the location of the payment for completing "Hail Sithis", he will mutter "But... we had a.... deal..."
 * Amaund wears similar clothing to Francois Motierre, his ancestor.
