Hern

"Well now. What have we here? A lost little lamb?"

- Hern  is a vampire living at the Half-Moon Mill with Hert, his vampire wife.

Background
There is a shack at the mill with bloody skulls, bloody rags, venison and other meats. This implies that they have been killing humans and animals for their blood.

Interactions
He is the target for the Dark Brotherhood quest Contract: Kill Hern. Hern does not appear until the assassination contract against him is active. Otherwise, Half-Moon Mill will be occupied solely by Hert. There is also a chance that Hern will feed the Ebony Blade as a sacrifice to make it stronger if he is killed with it.

Battle behavior
Hern and Hert do not use Vampiric Drain, when attacking. This makes it less likely to contract Sanguinaire Vampiris from fighting them. Because Hern is a vampire, destruction spells and enchanted weapons dealing Fire Damage are especially effective.
