Jauffre (Oblivion)

It is unknown where Jauffre was born. At some time in his early life he performed a heroic act of bravery, which gained him an invitation to become a Knight Brother of the Blades, the bodyguards, spies, and special forces troops of the Emperor of Tamriel. He was quickly promoted to Captain of the Palace Squadron, a group of Blades who guard the Emperor in the Imperial Palace, also known as White-Gold Tower. As a captain of the Blades he was the main guardian and trusted friend of the Emperor. As a trusted friend of the Emperor, he was invited into the Emperor's Bedroom.

In the room lay a basket, and in the basket was a baby boy. At once Jauffre knew he was a son of the Emperor, and he believed that he was an illegitimate heir to the throne. Uriel ordered Jauffre to take the boy to a secret location where he could grow up free from the machinations of the royal family, and where he could be a secret heir to the throne. Jauffre left the basket upon a farmer's doorstep. Uriel would ask questions about the boy's progress from time to time. Jauffre eventually was promoted to Grandmaster of the Blades. As he became older, Jauffre retired to live as a monk in Weynon Priory.

Several years later, Uriel Septim VII was assassinated in the secret escape route out of the Imperial City. Jauffre hearing this despaired until Bendu Olo brought the Amulet of Kings to him. At first, Jauffre thought that Olo may have killed the Emperor, but Olo was able to tell Jauffre the Emperor's last words and managed to convince Jauffre of the truth. Finally believing Olo, Jauffre told him of Martin's whereabouts. Martin was a Priest of Akatosh in the city of Kvatch. Jauffre gave Olo some supplies and sent Olo to bring Martin back to the Priory.

While Olo, was away, Jauffre heard a scream from outside the chapel where he was praying. Suddenly, Mythic Dawn assassins rushed in and proceeded to attempt to kill Jauffre. Jauffre managed to kill one, when Olo and Martin came in and assissted in the killing of the other two. He then rushed off, only to find that the Amulet of Kings had been stolen. He had almost given up hope, when Olo brought Martin to him. Knowing immediately that he had to protect Martin, Jauffre led them to Cloud Ruler Temple, the secret fortress of the Blades.

There, Jauffre presented Martin to the Blades and recruited Olo as a Knight Brother of the Blades. Several dats later, he dispatched Olo to meet with Baurus in the Imperial City. After Olo had returned Jauffre sent Olo to kill some Mythic Dawn spies and close an oblivion gate outside of Bruma. Several days later, Jauffre gave the key to Sancre Tor to Olo.

Martin then decided to let the Mythic Dawn open a great gate in front of Bruma. Jauffre fought in the Second Battle of Bruma, fighting bravely. It is not known whether he survived the Battle or nor, and if he did it is unlikely that he also survived the fighting to get to the Temple of the One in the Imperial City.
