Veezara

"I am a Shadowscale, you see. Born under the sign of the Shadow."

―Veezara^[src]

Veezara is an Argonian member of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. A Shadowscale since birth, he once served as an assassin to the king of Black Marsh. He believes he is the last living member of his order.

Interactions[]

Bound Until Death[]

During the quest "Bound Until Death," Veezara helps the Dragonborn get away by diverting the chaos after Vittoria Vici is murdered, killing hostiles until the Dragonborn has left Solitude.

The Cure for Madness[]

When Cicero flees the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, he stabs and severely injures Veezara, leaving him on the ground. Babette tends to his wounds with her potions.

Death Incarnate[]

He later dies defending the Sanctuary when the Penitus Oculatus comes and raids it. When the Dragonborn returns to the Sanctuary, Veezara's lifeless body can be found near Astrid's room, with no equipment on.

Destroy the Dark Brotherhood![]

Veezara is one of the Dark Brotherhood assassins to be killed if the Dragonborn kills Astrid during "With Friends Like These..."

Dialogue[]

Show: Sanctuary
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: "Welcome, brother. Welcome to our sanctuary. You have made the right choice, joining us, I assure you." It's nice to meet you, Veezara. The Dark Brotherhood will return to greatness. With my help. (Remain silent) "You just trust in Astrid, follow orders, and you'll do fine here." What can you tell me about yourself? "Once, I was a Shadowscale. An assassin in service to the King of Black Marsh. Trained by the Dark Brotherhood since the day of my hatching. Ah, but that was a lifetime ago. Today, I am the last of my kind. My order is extinct. Now, I happily serve Astrid, and this Sanctuary. I am a trained killer, and once again have been given purpose. Life is good." "Right, then."

Show: Mourning Never Comes
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: "Me, I have been part of the Dark Brotherhood from the day I first hatched. I am a Shadowscale, you see. Born under the sign of the Shadow." Any advice on my current contract? "You must speak to that Muiri woman, correct? I have heard rumors in Windhelm. She was recently implicated in a thievery, along with her lover. The lover will likely be your target. If memory serves me correctly, he leads a group of bandits. So this may be rather interesting for you." What are your thoughts on Cicero and the Night Mother? "Truthfully? I'm not entirely sure. It's not that I don't have the utmost respect for Sithis, and the Night Mother, and the ancient ways. I do. But I've never been much for religion. I kill because it's what I've been trained to do. It's all I know. So long as Astrid is happy, I'm happy."

Show: Whispers in the Dark
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Astrid thinks a Family member may be conspiring with Cicero. "You're joking. While I can understand if some family members wish to honor the Old Ways once more, surely no one would oppose Astrid's rule."

Show: The Silence Has Been Broken
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Any advice on my current contract? "Just remember Astrid's commitment to her Sanctuary, to her Family. A Family that now counts you as one of its own. Honor Astrid above all others."

Show: Bound Until Death
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Any advice on my current contract? "You contract sounds simple, which means it certainly will not be. Getting into that reception will be easy, but have you thought about getting out?" After killing Vittoria: "Astrid ordered me to keep an eye on you. Figured you could use a hand when the chaos erupted. I'll try and hold them off as best I can. You get back to the Sanctuary!" After returning to the Sanctuary: "Ah, you're back. It was good to fight alongside you. I'm sure people won't be forgetting that wedding anytime soon. hmm?"

Show: Breaching Security
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Any advice on my current contract? "Astrid had me investigate the Penitus Oculatus. Their members are highly trained, effective warriors. Be on your guard, brother."

Show: The Cure for Madness
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: "It only hurts when I laugh. He he he. Owww..." Any thoughts on the current situation? "Yes, do not underestimate Cicero. A man like that, small and foolish, is easy to mock. To underestimate. Don't make the same mistake I did."

Show: Recipe for Disaster
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Any advice on my current contract? "Hmm... Well, assuming this Gourmet is just a cook, it will probably be an easy kill. Just be discreet - alerting others will be the real threat."

Show: To Kill an Empire
In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary: Any advice on my current contract? "Astrid has arranged for your escape, no? Then you have nothing to worry about. Get in, kill the Emperor, and get out. Then, we celebrate."

Conversations[]

First arrival

Arnbjorn: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Veezara: "Ha ha ha ha! Again! Again! Do the part where he tries to buy you some candy." Babette: "Okay, okay. Wait. Here we go. "Ooh, you are such a pretty little girl. Would the sweetie like a sweetie? Oh yes, how about some chocolate?" Oh yes, please, kind sir. My mama and papa left me all alone, and I'm so very hungry. I know a shortcut to the candy shop. Through this alley. Oh ya, very good. Very good. My it is dark down here. Oh, but you are so beautiful. Such a lovely smile. Your teeth... your teeth! No! Aggghh!!" Gabriella: "Oh Babette, but you are so wicked." Nazir: "What about you, Festus? How did that last contract turn out?" Arnbjorn: "Oh, yes, please, old man. Regale us with your tales of wizardry..." Festus Krex: "Ah, the young and stupid. Always mocking the experienced and brilliant. My contract went very well, I'll have you know. Tried a new spell. Little something I've been working on in my spare time. Came "this" close to turning that priest inside out. Damned messy." Gabriella: "And what of your latest, Arnbjorn. Something about a Khajiit? Merchant was it?" Babette: "Oh, a big doggy chasing a little kitty! How adorable!" Nazir: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Festus: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Veezara: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Arnbjorn: "I am not adorable, it was not funny, and he wasn't a merchant. He was a Khajiit monk, a master of the Whispering Fang style. But now he's dead... and I have a new loincloth." Nazir: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Festus: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Veezara: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Babette: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Babette

Veezara: "Tell me, sister. Are the stories true?" Babette: "You must be talking about the caravan job..." Veezara: "You infiltrated the position, eliminated the target, and made it look like an accident. Impressive. I'd say you earned your bonus on that one!" Babette: "In truth? It was so easy, I feel a bit guilty. Once again, the sweet, innocent child earned more trust than was wise."

Festus Krex

Veezara: "Tell me, brother. Are the stories true?" Festus Krex: "You must be talking about the caravan job..." Veezara: "You infiltrated the position, eliminated the target, and made it look like an accident. Impressive. I'd say you earned your bonus on that one!" Festus Krex: "What? You think me too old, too feeble? There is more knowledge in me than in two of you pups together. And knowledge... knowledge is my weapon."

The Cure for Madness

Babette: "Just try to relax, Veezara. Let the elixir do its work. You'll feel better, shortly." Veezara: "Achh... Thank you, dear. You are most kind. The jester's cut feels as bad as it looks, I'm afraid." Astrid: "Damn it, this never should have happened! We knew better. We knew better, and still we let our guards down. Agh!" Festus Krex: "I'll admit, even I'm having a hard time disagreeing with you..."
[After the Dragonborn speaks to Astrid]
Festus Krex: "It's true, I'm afraid, Cicero was a little whirlwind, slashing this way and all that. It would have been funny, if he weren't trying to murder us all." Nazir: "Don't forget the ranting and raving. About the Night Mother, how she was the true leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and Astrid was just a "pretender.""
[After the Dragonborn speaks to Astrid again]
Veezara: "Bested by a fool. Who's the fool now, hmm?" Babette: "Hush, Veezara. You were very brave. Astrid may well be dead if not for you." Astrid: "She's right. I'll be forever in your debt, dearest brother. Now be quiet. Just... just rest."

Trivia[]

If killed during "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!", he will have the shrouded gloves, chest piece, and shrouded boots as well as random leveled weapons in his inventory.
During the end of "The Cure for Madness," Cicero says that he feels "slightly bad" about hurting Veezara, but then goes on to call him "stupid lizard," a derogatory reference because he defended Astrid.
