| − | What is known about Tharn's younger life is mostly what Tharn had claimed: he was born in southern [[Valenwood]], to a [[Bosmer|Wood Elven]] mother. According to [[The Real Barenziah, Book V]], Tharn was a [[Dunmer|Dark Elven]]/[[Altmer|High Elven]] mix, [[Symmachus]] also stating that he was "...part the gods only know what."<ref name="TRBB5" /> Tharn couldn't be a [[Breton]], due to it being said that [[Men|Human blood]] was absent from him, leading to the former statement of him being born in Valenwood to be true. |

- "You were a fool to confront me, and now have paid the ultimate price. Even now my servants go to fetch your mortal husk.

- ―Jagar Tharn[src]
Jagar Tharn is a Bosmer[1] Imperial Battlemage, and the main antagonist to The Elder Scrolls: Arena. Using the Staff of Chaos, Tharn banished the emperor to Oblivion in an attempt to rule the Empire himself. Tharn is the ultimate, and strongest, boss in Arena.
Background
Tharn had been appointed Imperial Battlemage of the Empire and adviser to Uriel Septim VII. In 3E 389, Tharn used the Staff of Chaos to trap the Emperor and banished him to Oblivion. After his apprentice, Ria Silmane, threatened that she would warn the Elder Council of his treachery, Tharn used the staff to eliminate her corporeal form, though she was still able to communicate intermittently with Tamriel's inhabitants.[2][3]
Tharn sitting on the Imperial Throne with the Staff of Chaos.
Tharn, using Illusion magic, took the Emperor's appearance and usurped the Ruby Throne, replacing the Emperor's guards and servants with lesser Daedra and other foul creatures, also using Illusion magic to disguise them and remain beyond suspicion. Later, he split the staff into eight pieces, as the land itself split. He then drained the pieces of the staff of its power, and put it into the Jewel of Fire, as a sustainable lifeforce.[2]
Tharn's reign ended in 3E 399. The Eternal Champion, with the help of Ria Silmane and Lady Barenziah,[4] managed to gather the eight hidden pieces of the Staff of Chaos. During the final battle in the Imperial Palace, the Eternal Champion managed to unite the Jewel of Fire, which served as Tharn's lifeforce, with the Staff of Chaos. Jagar Tharn disintegrated into fire-like ash and liquid, his clothes burning with him.
Interactions
Imperial Palace
Tharn encased in his shield.
At the fourth level of the Imperial Palace, Tharn will fight the Eternal Champion on sight.
After having his health fully depleted, Tharn will encase himself in a magical shield, resembling a turquoise bubble. In order to finally defeat Tharn, the Champion must pick up the key on Tharn's body when he is defeated, or find the spare Mithril Key in the of the cells, and unite the Staff of Chaos with the Jewel of Fire.
Doing this will cause Tharn to disintegrate, and the final quest is finished.
