Changes: Belethor

Revision as of 21:45, 3 March 2020

"Everything's for sale, my friend. Everything. If I had a sister, I'd sell her in a second."

―Belethor^[src]

Belethor is the Breton owner of Belethor's General Goods in the city of Whiterun.

Personality

On occasion, he will jokingly say that he would sell his sister for gold, if he had one, and that he would be willing to buy any customers' relatives off them, should they have any. His reputation within Whiterun is far from sparkling, as the Whiterun Guards refer to him as a "sleazy little man." Unlike most Bretons, he isn't at all serious. He is constantly making puns and is very sarcastic, especially when he's asked why he moved to Skyrim or, after the Battle for Whiterun, if the siege was hard on the city's merchants.

Interactions

Trading situation

Upon meeting him, he will speak of the current trading situation in the Whiterun region. Because of the dragon attacks in Helgen, there is a lack of products around the city, which impacts the prices, as less supply than demand equals higher prices. He has employed the help of Sigurd to do menial tasks around the shop for him.

Investment

With the Investor perk, one can invest gold in his store.

Hired Thugs

Belethor may send Hired Thugs out to attack the Dragonborn for something as simple as knocking something over in his store.

Dialogue

Introduction

What brings a Breton to Skyrim? "Isn't it obvious? Why, the wonderful weather and hospitable people, of course! Not to mention my great fondness for dragons and petty political power struggles. Ah, but without a doubt, the most compelling feature of this frozen wasteland is the volley of inane questions leveled at me on a regular basis."

Stormcloak Victory

How's business? "Interesting, to say the least. What with all that's been going on. On the one hand, supplies are harder to come by, since fewer traders are traveling the roads these days. But on the other, the scarcity of supplies has led to some, well, 'elevated' prices. All that matters is that I have what you need. And it's worth every septim."

The siege must have been hard on the city's merchants. "Oh no, not at all. I simply locked the doors, hid beneath my counter and prayed to the Divines that my life would be spared and my shop wouldn't burn to the ground. But other than that, everything was business as usual. Now, do you have any other painfully obvious things to say?"

Quotes

"The way you walk around at home is your own business. When you're at home..." — When not wearing armor or apparel.
"I'd even buy one of your relatives, if you're looking to sell! Ha ha ha... That's a little joke." - — Upon initiating conversation.
"Me and you are the only sane ones."
"You and me, we're the only people who aren't complete fools." — If the player has invested into his store
"I know what you're thinking. 'This Belethor, how could he part with such magnificent treasures?"
"I can tell you're a discriminating customer. Maybe a wealthy one too?"
"Do come back."
"Imperials, Stormcloaks... I don't care who's in charge around here. I just want to make money!" — Stormcloaks control Whiterun

Trivia

If Belethor dies in his store, it will remain locked forever.
Belethor was voiced by Stephen Russell, who also did the voice for Nick Valentine in Fallout 4.
If the Dawnguard DLC is loaded, Belethor is one of many citizens susceptible to being killed by vampires. If this happens, Ysolda may take over the shop afterwards.
