- ―The assassin to the Hero of Kvatch[src]
This assassin was an Altmer member of the Order of the Mythic Dawn during the final days of the Third Era. He participated in the Assassination of Uriel Septim VII beneath the Imperial Prison, in which the Mythic Dawn plotted to kill the emperor in order to start the subsequent Daedric invasion.
Interactions[]
Tutorial[]
When the Mythic Dawn agents had forced the emperor and his Blades guards into a dead-end chamber, the assassin entered the chamber via a concealed entrance. While the Blades engaged the Dawn's main force, the assassin killed Uriel VII with a single strike of a Bound Dagger.
The future Hero, who was traveling in the emperor's company, was menaced by the assassin before the Blade Baurus returned to the chamber, having fought off the other agents. It is unknown whether the assassin was killed by the prisoner or by Baurus. His body was held in the chamber during the Imperial Legion's later investigation, lying limply on a wooden table.
