"Some say I got my position because my cousin is the Emperor. Nonsense. The man's given me nothing. He can't even be bothered to attend my wedding."
―Vittoria Vici[src]

Vittoria Vici is an Imperial noble residing at her house in the city of Solitude. She is the daughter of Alexia Vici, and the fiancée of Asgeir Snow-Shod.

During waking hours, she works down at the East Empire Company Warehouse, outside of the Solitude walls. More specifically, her job is to manage the shipments of goods for the Company, standing watch in the customs office before the entrance to the warehouse.

Background[]

She is the cousin of Emperor Titus Mede II, ruler of the Mede Dynasty and Third Empire. If the Dragonborn converses with her, she gushes about planning her upcoming wedding, and how, despite being the cousin of the Emperor, she has worked hard on her own to achieve her position at the East Empire Company.

She lives with Aquillius Aeresius in her house.

Interactions[]

If the Dragonborn does not join the Dark Brotherhood, Vittoria can be found wandering in or outside of Solitude. She can also be found in the East Empire Company customs office, near the entrance to the East Empire Company Warehouse; however, she never triggers any merchant dialogue.

Quests[]

Bound Until Death[]

If the Dragonborn becomes the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, Astrid sends them to murder Vittoria at her wedding, to make the Emperor's visit to Skyrim a certainty as he'll take Vittoria's death as a hostile move to continue the Skyrim Civil War and ruin potential peace talks between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks, since now his own family was involved with her murder.

Earning a bonus[]

Speaking to Babette reveals that Vittoria will give a speech to her guests during the ceremony—and that killing her while she is speaking from the balcony is the preferred method of execution. The means of murder is unimportant; she can be killed by blade, arrow, spell, gargoyle, or by her groom (under the effect of a Frenzy spell). However Vittoria is killed, an additional reward of gold is given if the murder happens during her speech. Once the murder takes place, Veezara appears to protect the Dragonborn on their escape from the castle. Astrid sends him to ensure the Dragonborn survives the contract. Reactions to Vittoria's death from the gathered guests are varied, but both Vittoria's husband-to-be and mother are devastated by it.

Diplomatic Immunity[]

She can be seen in the party, but rarely. She describes the party as a bore and that she only came because the East Empire Company and the Thalmor have ties together. With a high enough Speech skill, she can be persuaded to distract the guests.

The Spiced Wine[]

Evette San, in the Solitude Market, asks the Dragonborn to convince Vittoria Vici to release the most recent spice shipment. After paying or persuading her, go back to Evette and she will give two spiced wine bottles as thanks.

Dialogue[]

The Spiced Wine[]

"Hmm? Sorry, I was lost in thought. I'm planning my wedding, you see. So many details to work out."

Evette San asked me to check on her shipment of spice. "Ah yes. If she wants to pay the two thousand gold tariff than [sic] [Do not change this to then. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] we'll be all set."
Sure, I'll pay the tariff. (2000 gold) "You will? I mean of course you will. You can tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly."
Evette can't afford a tariff. She can barely afford her stand. (Persuade) "That's not my problem."
Evette can't afford a tariff. She can barely afford her stand. (Persuade) "I suppose I could make an exception. I do like her spiced wine. Fine, tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly."
I'm sure we can work something out. (369 gold) "I'm afraid your [sic] [Do not change this to you're. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] bargaining without the metal to back it up."
I'm sure we can work something out. (369 gold) "That would be acceptable. You can tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly."

"Now if you'll excuse me. The East Empire Company has several accounts, and it's up to me to balance them."

Diplomatic Immunity[]

"I find these parties such a dreadful bore. One thing everyone can agree on. This war is bad for business."

If the parties bore you, why attend them? "The East Empire Company has interests all across Tamriel, inside and outside the Empire's borders. We try not to get involved in politics. However, as the head of the company it's my job to make sure we maintain good relationships with prospective partners and investors."
Does your company do business with the Thalmor? "A delicate question, to be sure. I'm the Emperor's cousin, and the Empire has little love for the Thalmor. On the other hand, the Thalmor have considerable funds and are looking to expand their shipping. I haven't signed any deals yet, but I'm sure my cousin will want a cut if I do. What better way to soothe his wounded pride?"
I need your help with something. "Oh? Something interesting, I hope?"
I need you to cause a scene. Get everyone's attention for a few minutes."I don't know... I don't want to do anything that might offend Elenwen. There is a lot of money at stake, after all."
Never mind."Yes, that's probably for the best. I really shouldn't risk getting on Elenwen's bad side."
Don't worry, I just want to play a joke on someone. (Persuade)
"Well. Anything to relieve the boredom. As long as it doesn't get back to me." (success:
"I don't think so. Sorry. I would love to help you, but Elenwen can be very vindictive. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side." (failure)

Bound Until Death[]

"What an amazing day this has been. I hope you're enjoying the festivities. I'm... I'm just so overwhelmed. Such kindness... for me."

The Stormcloaks say hello! "Oh! Well, you tell your Stormcloaks friends "hello" right back at them! This is a day of healing! Legion, Stormcloaks - all are welcome here!"
Hail the Imperial Legion! "Ha ha ha ha! Yes, yes indeed! Hail the Imperial Legion! Hail the Stormcloaks! Hail Solitude and the Eight Divines! On this glorious day, we honor everyone! Ha ha ha ha!"
(Remain silent) "Oh, no need to be shy! My day is your day! Please - eat, drink, make merry! We're all friends here!"

"Please, enjoy the festivities! This is a day of peace and happiness, when Imperials and Stormcloaks join together, as equals!"
