"Yes, Baurus told you right. I am the Grandmaster of the Blades. We serve the Emperor and the Septim bloodline. Talos is our patron."
―Jauffre[src]

Jauffre is a Breton Blade residing in the Weynon House, within the Weynon Priory. He is the grandmaster of the Blades.

Biography[]

Friendship with Uriel Septim[]

Uriel Septim VII

Having continuously proven a valuable asset to the Blades, he soon was promoted to Captain of the Palace Squadron, a group of Blades charged with the security of the Emperor within the walls of White-Gold Tower. As a captain of the Blades, he was the main guardian and became a trusted friend of Emperor Uriel Septim VII.

One night, Uriel asked for Jauffre's presence in his chambers. As Jauffre entered the room, a small basket caught his attention, for inside lay a baby boy. At once Jauffre knew that the boy was the son of the Emperor, yet an illegitimate heir to the throne. Uriel ordered Jauffre to take the boy, Martin, to a secret location where he could grow up free from the machinations of the palace. Jauffre took upon this task unquestioningly and left the basket on the doorstep of a farmer whom he deemed appropriate. Over the course of the following years, Uriel would ask about the boy's progress from time to time.

Weynon Priory[]

Eventually, Jauffre was promoted to Grandmaster of the Blades. As he became older, Jauffre retired to live as a monk in Weynon Priory.

Personality and traits[]

Jauffre2

Jauffre with Baurus and Martin Septim in Cloud Ruler Temple

"We are honored to have Grandmaster Jauffre, or Brother Jauffre as he prefers, as a resident here."
Brother Piner[src]

Jauffre was very dedicated to Uriel Septim VII and to the Empire. He held some disdain for the Elder Council, stating that they had no power over him or the other Blades members. He held the safety and regard of the land above all else and would do anything to see Tamriel free from the hordes of Oblivion. Despite his age, Jauffre was also an exceptional fighter, possessing skills akin to that of a master warrior. Wielding an Akaviri Dai-Katana and specializing in both heavy armor and magic, Jauffre is more than an average fighter capable of fighting the toughest of opponents.

Jauffre acts as a mentor to Martin and the Hero throughout the crisis and did whatever he could in the way of guidance so that the two could ultimately stop the forces of Oblivion. In the end, he was deemed a hero.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion[]

Several years later, in 3E 433, Uriel Septim was assassinated in the secret escape route out of the Imperial City. Upon learning this, Jauffre despaired until the Hero of Kvatch brought the Amulet of Kings to him. At first, Jauffre assumed the only way for the Hero to have the amulet would be if he had played a part in the murder of the Emperor, but as the Hero conveyed Uriel Septim's last words, Jauffre understood that such message could only come from the deceased ruler. Eventually, Jauffre told the Hero of Martin's whereabouts: Martin was a Priest of Akatosh in the city of Kvatch. The Hero was to travel to Kvatch and bring Martin back safely so they could seek refuge within the walls of the Blade's headquarters of Cloud Ruler Temple, and trace a plan of action to overturn the Mythic Dawn.

While the Hero was away, the Priory came under attack. Mythic Dawn assassins rushed in and attempted to kill Jauffre, who was alerted to their presence by a fellow monk's scream. Jauffre managed to defend himself and met with the Hero and a young man, who had just arrived at the Priory. Together they took care of the remaining assassins and rushed to Jauffre's study, only to find that the Amulet of Kings had been stolen. He had almost given up hope when he recognized the young man brought by the Hero as Martin, and decided to leave for Cloud Ruler Temple immediately as to ensure Martin's safety.

Oblivion Crisis[]

At Cloud Ruler Temple in northern Cyrodiil, Jauffre presented Martin to the Blades and recruited the Hero of Kvatch as a Knight Brother of the Blades. Several days later, he dispatched the Hero to meet with Baurus in the Imperial City. After the Hero had returned Jauffre sent him to kill some Mythic Dawn spies and close an Oblivion gate outside of Bruma. Jauffre would also take an integral part in making sure Martin was protected and that every effort against the Mythic Dawn was attended too.

TESIV Obliviongate

An Oblivion Gate during the Oblivion Crisis.

Jauffre would then be one of the chief defenders in the Second Battle of Bruma alongside Baurus, Martin and the Hero, fighting bravely and fiercely despite his old age until the Hero would manage to close the Great Gate and claim victory for the battle. Jauffre then expresses joy at the victory, but also notes that the crisis is not yet over.

When the Hero went into Paradise, Jauffre dispatched Baurus to the Imperial City in order to tell the Elder Council of Martin and how he is the only chance that Tamriel has. When the Hero returned, Jauffre accompanied him and Martin to the Imperial City where he could light the Dragonfires and be crowned emperor.

Despite their best efforts the forces of destruction launch one final, massive assault on the Imperial City. Jauffre would take up the defense and fight once more alongside Martin, Baurus and the Hero and the group fought their way through the Imperial City. While Jauffre and Baurus fought off the hordes of Daedra, Martin and the Hero then entered the Temple of the One and saw the end of the forces of Oblivion and Mehrunes Dagon.

Jauffre arrived alongside Baurus and High Chancellor Ocato to congratulate Martin and the Hero only to discover that Martin sacrificed himself in order to defeat Mehrunes Dagon and seal the portals to Oblivion forever. He would personally congratulate the Hero and note that he was more a Champion of Tamriel than just Champion of Cyrodiil.

After the Crisis[]

Jauffre and Baurus would return to Cloud Ruler Temple where he stated gave him some sense of certainty in such uncertain times. He also notes that Martin was probably the greatest emperor who ever lived, perhaps even rivaling Tiber Septim himself. His fate after these events is unknown other than that he remained as the Grandmaster of the Blades and would see them in their future as they return to their ancient role until the next Dragonborn arises.

Dialogue[]

Show: Deliver the Amulet
In Weynon Priory:

"I'm Brother Jauffre. What do you want?"

The Emperor sent me to find you. "Emperor Uriel? Do you know something about his death?"
I was there when he died. "You'd better explain yourself. Now."
He gave me the Amulet of Kings. "You brought me the Amulet of Kings? This cannot be. Let me see it."
I brought you the Amulet of Kings. "This cannot be. No one but the Emperor is permitted to handle the Amulet. Let me see it."
[Give Jauffre the Amulet] "By the Nine! This IS the Amulet of Kings! Who are you? How did you get this? What do you know of the Emperor's death?"
Tell the emperor's last words. "As unlikely as your story sounds, I believe you. Only the strange destiny of Uriel Septim could have brought you to me carrying the Amulet of Kings."
Who is the Prince of Destruction? "The Prince of Destruction he referred to is none other than Mehrunes Dagon, one of the lords of the demonic world of Oblivion. The Emperor's words-- "Close shut the jaws of Oblivion"-- certainly suggest that he perceived some threat from Oblivion. But all the scholars agree that the mortal world is protected from the daedra of Oblivion by magical barriers."
"Close shut the jaws of Oblivion"...? "His meaning is unclear to me as well. The Emperor seemed to perceive some threat from the demonic world of Oblivion. The Prince of Destruction, Mehrunes Dagon, is one of the lords of Oblivion. But the mortal world is protected from the daedra of Oblivion by magical barriers."
How can Oblivion threaten us, then? "I'm not sure. Only the Emperors truly understand the meaning behind the rituals of coronation. The Amulet of Kings is ancient. Saint Alessia herself received it from the gods. It is a holy relic of great power. When an emperor is crowned, he uses the Amulet to light the Dragonfires at the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. With the Emperor dead and no new heir crowned, the Dragonfires in the Temple will be dark, for the first time in centuries. It may be that the Dragonfires protected us from a threat that only the Emperor was aware of."
The Emperor asked me to find his son. "I am one of the few who know of his existence. Many years ago, I served as captain of Uriel's bodyguards, the Blades. One night Uriel called me in to his private chambers. A baby boy lay sleeping in a basket. Uriel told me to deliver him somewhere safe. He never told me anything else about the baby, but I knew it was his son. From time to time he would ask about the child's progress. Now, it seems the illegitimate son is the heir to the Septim Throne. If he yet lives."
Where can I find Uriel's son? "His name is Martin. He serves Akatosh in the Chapel in the city of Kvatch, south of here. You must go to Kvatch and find him at once. If the enemy is aware of his existence, as seems likely, he is in terrible danger. And please, let me know if there's anything you need. My resources here are limited, but I will help in any way I can."

"Waste no time. You must find Martin before the enemy does."

Show: Find the Heir
In Weynon Priory:

"Your first priority now should be to find Martin and bring him back here."

Amulet of Kings "It will be safest here with me. When you return with Martin, we will figure out our next move."
Assistance "I keep a few things here in my chest to resupply traveling Blades. Help yourself to whatever you need."
Assistance "I don't have much here at hand, but you're welcome to anything you need from my chest in the reading room. Prior Maborel and Brother Piner may also be able to help. You should speak to them about it if you haven't already."
Baurus "One of the youngest Blades ever to serve in the Emperor's personal guard. I am glad to hear that he survived, but I fear he will take the Emperor's death particularly hard."
Dragonfires "The coronation of each new Emperor is sealed when he uses the Amulet of Kings to light the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One. The Dragonfires of Akatosh remain lit until the death of the Emperor. His successor then lights them anew upon ascending to the throne. With Emperor Uriel dead and no successor crowned, the Temple of the One will be dark for the first time in centuries."
Elder Council "The Elder Council rules in the Emperor's absence, by ancient tradition. Chancellor Ocato heads the Elder Council and is the closest thing the Empire has to a leader right now. But the Blades answer only to the Emperor, of course. We are not an arm of the government."
Martin "He is a priest in the Chapel of Akatosh in Kvatch. He never knew that he was Uriel Septim's son. You need to find him at once and bring him safely back here."
Mehrunes Dagon "The daedra Prince of Destruction. An inveterate foe of all mortal races. He was involved with Jagar Tharn's plot against the empire years ago. It doesn't surprise me to find his hand in the current calamity."
The Blades "Yes, Baurus told you right. I am the Grandmaster of the Blades. We serve the Emperor and the Septim bloodline. Talos is our patron. You wonder to find me here? Discretion is our watchword. Only a few of us have the honor to serve publicly in the Imperial Guard."

When returning with Martin:

"You're back. Thank Talos! They attacked without warning. I was praying in the Chapel when I heard Prior Maborel shout. I had just time to arm myself. The Amulet of Kings! I fear that was the target of this attack. I kept it in a secret room in Weynon House. We need to go see if it is safe."

I'll go check on the Amulet. "We'll go together. But I fear the worst."

After checking on the Amulet:

"They've taken it! The Amulet of Kings is gone! The enemy has defeated us at every turn!"

I found Martin. He is safe. "So it has not all gone against us. Thank Talos for that! We gained Uriel's heir, and lost the Amulet of Kings. Martin cannot stay here. We have driven them off, but they will be back once they learn of Martin's survival. Which they will."
Where will Martin be safe? "Nowhere is truly safe against the power arrayed against us. But we must play for time, at least... Cloud Ruler Temple, I think. The hidden fortress of the Blades, in the mountains near Bruma. A few men can hold it against an army. We should leave at once."
Amulet of Kings "With the Amulet taken by the enemy, we must get Martin to safety at Cloud Ruler Temple."
Assistance "You may as well take Prior Maborel's horse from the stable. He won't have use for it any longer."
Cloud Ruler Temple "Cloud Ruler Temple was built long ago, by the founders of the Blades, back in the days of Reman Cyrodiil. It is high in the mountains near Bruma... our ancient fortress, sanctuary, refuge of last resort. Martin will be as safe there as anywhere."

"We should get moving. I won't rest easy until Martin is safe at Cloud Ruler Temple."

Show: Joining the Blades
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"You have proven yourself a loyal servant of the Empire, as worthy as any of the Blades to stand by Martin's side during this crisis. As the Grandmaster of the Blades, I would be honored to accept you into our order. Will you join us?"

Yes, I will join the Blades. "It is my honor to welcome you into our ranks as a Knight Brother of the Blades."
The Blades "This fortress is well-supplied with arms and armor. Use what you need from the armory in the east wing."
No, not right now. "Very well. Many serve the Empire in their own way. But we would be honored to have you, if you change your mind."
Join the Blades "Have you reconsidered? Are you ready to join our order in service to the Dragon Blood?"
What are my duties as a Blade? "The Blades are sworn to the service of the Emperor, as the mortal representative of the Dragon Blood of the Divine Talos."
Show: The Path of Dawn
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"It is good to be back here. It raises my spirits just to walk these ancient halls again. We will prevail. We must prevail!"

Amulet of Kings "You're right. We must try to recover the Amulet before the enemy takes it out of our reach. You should go back to the Imperial City. Baurus may have learned something about the assassins. You'll find Baurus at the Luther Broad's Boarding House in the Elven Gardens district of the Imperial City."
Amulet of Kings "The Amulet of Kings is the key to everything now. Once we have it back, Martin can use it to light the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One, and reseal the barriers between Oblivion and our world."
Cloud Ruler Temple "This place was built by Reman Cyrodiil's Akaviri Dragonguard, at the founding of the Second Empire. Since then, it has served the Blades as a headquarters, fortress, and sanctuary. We can protect Martin here until we recover the Amulet of Kings."

"Give my warm regards to Baurus. Tell him he should not blame himself for the Emperor's death. He did well to send you to me."

After locating the shrine:

"Good work locating the Shrine of Dagon. If you can retrieve the Amulet of Kings, we may yet prevail."

Baurus "I'm glad to have Baurus here. He guards Martin night and day. His way of atoning for the death of Emperor Uriel, I suppose."

"May Uriel's spirit guide us in these troubled times."

Show: Dagon Shrine
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"Thank Talos you've returned safely! Do you have the Amulet?"

No. Mankar Camoran escaped with it. "Please tell me you have some good news..."
Maybe. I have the Mysterium Xarxes. "Ah. Good. You should take it to Martin right away. He'll be in the Great Hall, reading. He's hardly taken time to sleep since you left."

If approached again:

"You should talk to Martin. He'll want to see the Mysterium Xarxes right away."

When passing by:

"Good job tracking down the Mythic Dawn's secret shrine. We finally took the fight to the enemy."

Show: Spies
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"I hope that Martin knows what he's doing with that evil book. I fear for what it could do to him if he's not careful."

Spies "Ah, yes. I hope you can help. The gate guards have reported seeing strangers on the road for the past several nights. I cannot leave Cloud Ruler Temple undefended while my men search the whole mountainside, but these spies must be eliminated."
I will find these spies. "Thank you. Talk to Steffan. He can tell you where he has seen them. Captain Burd in Bruma may also be able to help. I've asked the Countess to have the guard keep an eye out for strangers. Track down the spies and kill them. Find out what they know, and what they're planning, if possible."

"I'm counting on you to eliminate those spies. We can't afford to let the Mythic Dawn operate out of Bruma with impunity."

After uncovering Jearl's Order:

"What have you learned about the spies?"

[Show Jauffre Jearl's orders] "This makes for grim reading. The Mythic Dawn did not take long to locate Martin again. The document speaks of two agents. You need to eliminate both of them."

"The plans you found make it clear that the Mythic Dawn will soon move against us here. You must eliminate their agents in Bruma."

If approached again:

"What have you learned about the spies?"

I have nothing new to report. "You must eliminate both the Mythic Dawn agents in Bruma. We cannot allow them to continue to plot against us."

"Let me know when you have found and eliminated the Mythic Dawn agents in Bruma."

Upon killing both spies:

"What have you learned about the spies?"

Both spies are dead. "Excellent work. I knew I could count on you. The gods did not idly choose you as their agent, whatever you may think. But we have not eliminated the threat against Bruma and Cloud Ruler Temple, only delayed it. I will warn the Countess of the danger. You should speak to Martin. I believe he has made some progress with the Mysterium Xarxes."

"I will send word to the Countess at once of the danger to Bruma. You should speak to Martin about his progress with the Xarxes."

Show: Blood of the Divines
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"So, Martin wants you to recover the Armor of Tiber Septim? I wish there was another way. The Armor is in the Shrine of Tiber Septim, in the catacombs beneath the ruins of Sancre Tor. A holy place, once. But Sancre Tor became evil long ago. No one has returned from the Shrine of Tiber Septim for many lifetimes."

What evil lurks in Sancre Tor? "I do not know. The catacombs of Sancre Tor were sealed by the first Grandmaster of the Blades. The four mightiest Blades of Tiber Septim's day, Alain, Valdemar, Rielus and Casnar, went to Sancre Tor and never returned. Here, this is the key to Sancre Tor's outer door. I fear I am sending you to your death, but we have no other choice. You must succeed."
Armor of Tiber Septim "An ancient relic of the first Emperor, who became the divine Talos, the patron of our Order. After the Battle of Sancre Tor, Tiber Septim gave his armor to the Blades in honor of our role in his victory. The Blades built a shrine in the catacombs of Sancre Tor, on the spot where Tiber Septim received the blessing of Akatosh. The Armor has been there ever since. Before evil came to Sancre Tor, this shrine was a place of pilgrimage for all Blades. But no one has visited the shrine and lived to tell the tale in centuries."

"Stay safe."

Show: Bruma Gate
At Cloud Ruler Temple:

"I've just received word from the Countess of Bruma that an Oblivion Gate has opened outside the city. It seems that the Mythic Dawn are putting their plan to attack Bruma into action. Since you've dealt with these Gates before, I'd like you to help the Countess's guard close this gate. Once they've seen how it's done, they should be able to handle any new gates on their own."

Where is this Gate? "Captain Burd is waiting for you outside the Bruma city gate. He'll show you the Oblivion Gate. Although I doubt it will be hard to find."

"You should rendezvous with Captain Burd immediately. The sooner that gate is closed, the better."

After closing the Gate:

"Good work. Captain Burd and his guardsmen should be able to handle any additional Gates, at least for now. But the Bruma Guard cannot defend the city indefinitely. The Daedra of Oblivion are innumerable; the guardsmen of Bruma are not. We need to gather what allies we can before Bruma is hopelessly besieged. If the Mythic Dawn manages to open a Great Gate here, the city will need a stronger garrison for there to be any hope of defending it. You should speak to the rulers of the other cities of Cyrodiil, as well as the Elder Council. Ask them to send aid to Bruma before it is too late."

What else can I do to help? "Keep working on obtaining the items Martin needs for the ritual. Everything else is just buying time for us to get the Amulet of Kings back from Mankar Camoran."

"You should speak to the rulers of Cyrodiil as soon as possible. The danger to Bruma is growing by the day."

Show: Light the Dragonfires
Inside Cloud Ruler Temple:

"Time is pressing. Martin must relight the Dragonfires before the enemy can stop us."

Dragonfires "Once Martin uses the Amulet of Kings to light the Dragonfires, the barrier between Oblivion and Tamriel will be restored. The Oblivion Gates will close, and Mehrunes Dagon's invasion will have failed."
Elder Council "Martin is right. Declaring oneself Emperor is a delicate matter. In this case, however, I do not think there should be any dispute. The Elder Council has been governing the Empire since the Emperor's murder. They will be overjoyed to have an heir to crown. They've been unable to solve the Oblivion Crisis. The Empire is falling apart. Only a legitimate Emperor offers any hope."

"May Talos guide you."

After speaking to Ocato:

"We have to get Martin to the Temple of the One or Mehrunes Dagon has won after all."

After Dagon is defeated:

"A victory beyond hope! You and Martin defeated Mehrunes Dagon in the very moment of his triumph! All hail the Champion of Tamriel!"

Dragonfires "I believe that Martin's sacrifice sealed the gates of Oblivion forever. Tamriel no longer needs the protection of the Dragonfires."
Martin "He truly was the Dragonborn... the last, and perhaps the greatest of all the Septims."
Mehrunes Dagon "Against all hope, Martin cast him back into Oblivion! He will not trouble our world for long years to come."

Conversations[]

Cloud Ruler Temple

Cyrus: "Grandmaster, is this ... ?" Jauffre: "Yes, Cyrus. This is the Emperor's son. Martin Septim." Cyrus: "My lord! Welcome to Cloud Ruler Temple! We have not had the honor of an Emperor's visit in in many years!" Martin: "Ah, well, thank you! The honor is mine." Jauffre: "Come. Your Blades are waiting to greet you."

Hailing Martin Septim

Jauffre: "Blades! Dark times are upon us. The Emperor and his sons were slain on our watch. The Empire is in chaos. But there is yet hope. Here is Martin Septim, true son of Uriel Septim!" Belisarius: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Captain Steffan: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Caroline: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Cyrus: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Jena: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Roliand: "Hail, Dragonborn! Hail Martin Septim! Hail!" Jauffre: "Your Highness. The Blades are at your command. You will be safe here until you can take up your throne." Martin: "Jauffre. All of you. I know you all expect me to be Emperor. I'll do my best. But this is all new to me. I'm not used to giving speeches. But I wanted you to know that I appreciate your welcome here. I hope I prove myself worthy of your loyalty in the coming days. That's it. Thank you." Jauffre: "Well, then. Thank you, Martin. We'd all best get back to our duties, eh, Captain?"

Defense of Bruma

Jauffre: "With all due respect, sire, there must be another way. The risk is too great!" Martin Septim: "I know the risk. I was at Kvatch. But there is no other way. We have no choice." Jauffre: "The Countess will never agree to it..." Martin Septim: "She will. She must." Jauffre: "Very well. The Blades are, as always, at your disposal."

Trivia[]

  • It is possible for Jauffre to be killed on a handful of occasions throughout the main questline, along with Baurus. He can die either during the Battle for Bruma, or during the seige in the Imperial City. This does not affect the Hero's ability to complete the quest, though it does remove several unique dialogue options throughout the main questline.
  • Some of Jauffre's dialogue has been recorded by Wes Johnson, the voice of the male Imperials in the game.[1]
