"If you don't wear the gloves of the Bal Molagmer, how can you show these Dunmer that thieves are not wholly evil?"

―Gentleman Jim Stacey

Gentleman Jim Stacey is the Redguard Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild in Vivec City. He can be found in the back of Simine Fralinie's shop, in the Vivec, Foreign Quarter Canalworks.

Personality

He works to protect the Guild from the Camonna Tong, a rival crime faction with far less morals than the Guild. Many of his missions are centered around rooting out and eliminating their influence.

He also has a very high opinion of the Bal Molagmer, a faction of thieves devoted to justice by stealing from the unjust and giving to the poor. Per his dialogue, this faction vanished early in the Third Era, and he believes it is time for them to return. If the Nerevarine joins the Thieves Guild, he will recruit them to "rekindle the fires" of the Bal Molagmer.

Missions and assignments

He will only give Thieves Guild missions to those ranked Captain and above. However, to those who have proven themselves, he is willing to assign Bal Molagmer quests, aimed at fighting injustice across Vvardenfell.

Find out what happened to him. If he's dead, as I fear, find his key and bring it to me." After recovering the key: "Were you able to locate Nads Tharen and his key?" Nads Tharen "So you found Nads Tharen and got the key." Give him the key "Yes, this is the right key. This buys us some time in our war with the Camonna Tong. Keep an eye on Arvama Rathri. I believe she may be working for the Camonna Tong herself. And here's a little something for you." Keep the key "I'm not sure you understand who's in charge here."

Show: Speak with Percius

He used to be the Master of the Fighters Guild before the Camonna Tong got involved. I believe he will help us fight the Camonna Tong. Go speak with him and listen to what he has to say. Report back to me with any information." After speaking with Percius: "I sent you to speak to Percius Mercius and see if he was willing to help us fight." help us fight "Well it sounds like Percius came through after all.

For now, concentrate on your tasks at hand."

Here, let me mark it on your map." After delivering the cup: "Were you able to retrieve the Bitter Cup and bring it to Eydis Fire-Eye?" Bitter Cup "So Eydis took the Bitter Cup. Good. She's likely to betray us, too, but only if she thinks we think she won't. Anyway, I found some good lockpicks the other day and thought you might could find a use for them."

Show: Hrundi's Lover

"What is it, Mastermind (Rank)?

After killing the brothers: "Were you able to get rid of the brothers Ienith? I know they are powerful does, but they are a great strength of our enemy." Ienith "So Navil and Ranes Ienith are dead?

I don't know what, but even without the Camonna Tong's backing, he's already planning an attack on all our Guild halls. Go to the Fighters Guild here in Vivec. Kill Sjoring Hard-Heart and report back to me." After killing Sjoring: "Does Sjoring Hard-Heart still live?" Sjoring Hard-Heart "So Sjoring Hard-Heart is dead. Whatever his personal vendetta, he won't trouble our Guild again. The remaining leaders of the Fighters Guild are more sympathetic to us. Since you've saved the Thieves Guild here in Vvardenfell, I think you deserve this. It's the Skeleton Key--the most perfect tool ever created for lockpicking. I found it when I lived in Hammerfell. Use it wisely. Now, I have new jobs for you to do." jobs "Actually, this is the final job I'll give you. Take care of the Guild. You've done great things, Nerevarine (Player name).
