- Idolaf Battle-Born

Idolaf Battle-Born is a character in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The first time the player walks into Whiterun, Idolaf will be trying to make a deal with Adrianne Avennici, saying that he needs her to forge more weapons for the Imperial Legion. She complains, saying that she cannot make that many swords. After, she tries to persuade Idolaf to go and ask rival clan member Eorlund Gray-Mane to make some. He then jokes, saying he'd sooner bend his knee to Ulfric Stormcloak. Adrianne finally gives in, and agrees to make the weapons.

Idolaf will ask if the player is a Battle-Born or Gray-Mane. If they reply by saying they are a Battle-Born, he will treat them as a friend, but if they reply saying they're a Gray-Mane, he will dislike them, and say: "I should bash your face in for what you've done". If they say that they don't pick sides, he will say "Sooner or later, we all have to choose a side''". ''If the player kills him, then the Battle-Born clan will send hired thugs after them. Also after killing him, the player will recieve a letter of thanks from Avulstein Gray-Mane if they have completed the quest Missing in Action.
