Nurelion

 is an elderly and rather ill-tempered Altmer alchemist in Skyrim. Along with his apprentice, Quintus, Nurelion runs an Alchemy shop in Windhelm called The White Phial. He is the quest-giver for The White Phial quest associated with the city of Windhelm.

Interactions
Upon meeting Nurelion, the Dragonborn learns that Nurelion has spent his entire life searching for a relic called the White Phial, after which he named his shop. The Dragonborn recovers the item after a difficult dungeon quest, only to find it is damaged. Frustrated and disappointed, Nurelion pays the Dragonborn five septims and takes to his sick bed. The Dragonborn talked to Quintus, who intends to tend his master for his final days. Quintus gives the Dragonborn a more reasonable gift for the efforts involved.

When visiting him later he is sleeping in his bed. But when you try to talk to him, a message comes up and says "Nurelion is asleep and dying".

You will later be contacted by Quintus, through a courier, when you get his note go see him. He will ask you to find three things, ground mammoth tusks, unmelting snow, and a briar heart (which comes from a forsworn). After collecting these things bring them back to Quintus, he will repair it and show it to Nurelion, shortly after Nurelion will die. After his death Quintus will give you the white phial ( which is capabe of filling up with one type of liquid all the time).
