"You're not thinking of causing trouble here in this beautiful city, now are you? 'Cause I'd strongly advise against such foolishness."

―Commander Caius^[src]

Commander Caius is an Imperial soldier residing in the city of Whiterun. He is the captain for the Whiterun Guard and can often be found in Dragonsreach, dining with the Jarl. If the Stormcloaks take over Whiterun, he takes up residency in the Blue Palace in Solitude alongside Balgruuf the Greater (the former Jarl), Irileth, Hrongar and Proventus Avenicci.

Background

Certain citizens of Whiterun are very vocal about their opinions of the Commander. Sinmir, a regular at The Bannered Mare, deems Caius as extremely incompetent, saying that he could do Caius' job better if he was blindfolded.

Interactions

Civil War

If the Dragonborn wins the Battle for Whiterun for the Stormcloaks, Sinmir will replace him as captain of the guard. Like Balgruuf, Irileth, Hrongar, and Proventus Avenicci, he seeks refuge in the Blue Palace with Jarl Elisif the Fair.

Dampened Spirits

After, the Dragonborn poisons the mead at the Honningbrew Meadery outside of Whiterun, Commander Caius arrests a framed Sabjorn and takes him to the Dragonsreach Dungeon.
