- Not to be confused with Pelagius Septim III.
Pelagius Septim was the second ruler of the Septim Empire, and Tiber Septim's grandson. He ruled Tamriel for less than three years; however, he was still seen to be as strong of a ruler as his grandfather had been.[2]
In 3E 41, Pelagius was the first of the Third Era Emperors to be assassinated, as an unknown enemy of the Septims hired assassins.[2] He was killed by the Dark Brotherhood while praying at the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. Because he had no children he was succeeded by his first cousin, Kintyra Septim.[2] It is said by Amaund Motierre that the death of Pelagius Septim caused a necessary change in Imperial policy. For a similar reason, Motierre and his supporters desired the assassination of Titus Mede II in the Fourth Era.[3]
