Jyrik Gauldurson

 is a draugr 'mini-boss' encountered deep below Saarthal during the quest Under Saarthal, which is a part of the quest line for The College of Winterhold.

Background
Jyrik was the eldest son of Lord Gauldur, Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold. He and his brothers, Mikrul and Sigdis, coveted the their father's amulet, which held immense power. Recovering the artifact, he and his brothers stormed the cities of Skyrim with summoned armies, ending many lives in their mad conquest. Sent by Arch-Mage Geirmund, a battalion of battlemages was dispatched to end the spree, sealing the brothers away in their respective tombs with Writs of Sealing.

Under Saarthal
When his chamber is first entered, Jyrik is invincible. A few seconds later, Tolfdir tells the Dragonborn to keep him busy, and rushes downstairs. He runs past Jyrik and begins shooting bolts of lightning at the orb, draining it of some of its power, which lowers Jyrik's defenses and leaves him vulnerable. His body will glow in the corresponding elements (Fire, Lightning, and Frost), meaning he has increased resistance against them.

Forbidden Legend
Bringing the Gauldur Amulet Fragments to Reachwater Rock, the Dragonborn faces all three sons of Gauldur in battle, one last time. Jyrik is the third brother faced. He wields an Ancient Nord War Axe, casting Flame Cloak on himself. He teleports across the room to evade close combat and will use Unrelenting Force during the fight.
