For other uses, see Commander and Caius.

"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.

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.

Conversations

Dampened Spirits

Commander Caius: "Well, Sabjorn. Now that you've taken care of your little pest problem, how about I get a taste of some of your mead?"
Sabjorn: "Help yourself, milord. It's my finest brew yet... I call it Honningbrew Reserve. I think you'll find it quite pleasing to your palate."
Commander Caius: "Oh come now, this is mead... not some wine to be sipped and savored."
Commander Caius: "By the Eight?! What... what's in this?"
Sabjorn: "I... I don't know. What's wrong?"
Commander Caius: "You assured me this place was clean! I'll see... see to it that you remain in irons for the rest of your days!"
Sabjorn: "No, please! I don't understand..."
Commander Caius: "Silence, idiot! I should have known better... to trust this place after it's been riddled with filth."
Sabjorn: "I beg you... please. This is not what it seems!"
Commander Caius: "You... you're in charge here until I can sort this all out."
Mallus Maccius: "It will be my pleasure."
Commander Caius: "And you... you're coming with me to Dragonsreach. We'll see how quickly your memory clears in the city's prisons. Now move."
Sabjorn: "Look, I assure you, this is all just a huge misunderstanding!"
Commander Caius: "I said move!"
Mallus Maccius: "Farewell, Sabjorn."

With version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, Caius will no longer be exiled to the Blue Palace and will instead stay in The Bannered Mare for the rest of the game (ironically replacing Sinmir's spot). He will lose his guard attire and it will be replaced with [[Steel Armor]], [[Steel Imperial Gauntlets]] and [[Steel Shin Boots]].
