Better known as "The Gourmet", author of Uncommon Taste,  is an Orc residing at the Nightgate Inn. He was scheduled to cook for Emperor Titus Mede II, when the event was canceled. Gaius Maro kept him in Skyrim in case plans changed.

Interactions
Hoping to fill the role Gourmet was set to play in cooking for the Emperor, Festus Krex sends the Dragonborn to Understone Keep in search of Anton Virane, a friend of Balagog's. When intimidated, Anton reveals that Balagog is The Gourmet. The Dragonborn finds the Orc at an inn and assassinates him to fill his place at Castle Dour and poison the Emperor with a Jarrin Root. To divert suspicion, the Dragonborn might have hidden Balagog's corpse in a wine barrel or nearby lake.
