"Excuse me, but do you know anything about this house? Seen anyone enter or leave?"
―Vigilant Tyranus[src]

Vigilant Tyranus is an Imperial witchblade who is dedicated to driving off Daedra and their followers. He is typically found in the city of Markarth, outside of the Abandoned House.

Interactions

The House of Horrors

Tyranus asks the Dragonborn to help him while he investigates a possible Daedric Cult in an Abandoned House. During the raid, objects float across the room, apparently moving by some sort of a mystical force. A disembodied voice tells the Dragonborn to kill Tyranus. If they do not respond, Tyranus is driven mad by the disembodied voice and will say "it's you or me," then attacks the Dragonborn.

  • Tyranus may sometimes attack on sight. This is caused by eventually having Daedric artifacts or such in your inventory whilst walking near him. The Markarth guard may or may not attack Tyranus until he takes a knee: he cannot be killed. Violent retaliation by the Dragonborn is not considered a crime; however, Tyranus will not desist until the Dragonborn leaves Markarth via the City gate, and gets far enough away from him to break the chase.
    •  360   This can sometimes be remedied by entering the Temple of Dibella's Inner Sanctum.
  •  360   PS3   Tyranus may sometimes never stand outside The Abandoned House because of a glitch in the game. This can sometimes be fixed by leaving the city via the gate and then going back inside. Another problem is that he can be stuck on the stairs right outside the city gate.
    •  360   PS3   This can be fixed by the Dragonborn talking to Tyranus and initiate the quest "The House of Horrors" and he will enter the city.
    • If Tyranus is attacked, then sometimes the quest will go into the completed section, saying Tyranus is dead and the quest failed, even if he is still alive.
  •  360   PS3   If you can't find Vigilant Tyranus, you can go to the Silver-Blood Inn and ask the tender about rumors and he will point you in the right direction.
  •  PS3   Tyranus will attack every Markarth guard in the area, this can be fixed by letting him kill the guards then he will attack no more.
  •  PS3  Tyranus maybe disappear if Markarth is taken by the Stormcloaks and The House of Horrors has not yet been completed.
