Then you're not really trying very hard. The world has dragons and undead liches and daedra that are bored out of their minds. We may not know how a Bosmer from 200 years ago became an Imperial in the service of the Night Mother, but it would be a huge mistake to exclude the possibility outright. Over and above that, it freaking says it in Cicero's everloving journal, and that doesn't somehow count for noth can the night mother really turn races Actually, he brings up a valid point. Because while it is true that the Night Mother would not have the ability to physically change someone (i.e; their race, appearance, etc...) I would imagine that a Daedric Prince would have absolutely no problem with it and might have even done it without Cicero's consent (if you catch my drift) just to spice things up because he is bored. Okay, picture this: The Adoring Fan (Cicero) is a member of the Dark Brotherhood. Someone is seeking vengeance on the Grand Champion for whatever reason and has hired the DB to have him/her "removed" from the arena. So, this assassin poses as an Adoring Fan and, when they are alone and the Grand Champion has his back turned, Cicero kills him. And life may have gone n for a while. Cicero woul've continued to kill and he would've been a genius in the art of death. But eventually, he makes a slip. Just one, but that's all it took. Cicero is being chased and he is almost caught but, there is some Daedric prince somewhere that has been taking great pleasure in watching Cicero kill and he doesn't want it to end. So he makes a few "alterations" to the murder-loving Bosmer. He changes him in his entirety, from Bosmer to Imperial. But at a heavy cost.... his sanity. Thus, our Cicero is born.
