I've been replaying Oblivion and planning to do a full achievement run of Skyrim, and it's reminding me of all the fun and well-written characters in this series. I'm curious to know what everyone's favourite character in Tamriel is, and why do you like them?

For me, I'd have to say Keshu the Black Fin from ESO – I find her story (both in-game and lorebook entries) so interesting, and when I interact with her she gives off classic "hero" vibes that I really enjoy, as it sometimes makes me feel like I'm not the biggest hero when I'm in her presence.

Janus Hassildor, Count of Skingrad, TES4: Oblivion.

I love his questline. He and his wife were turned into vampires. While he embraced his vampiric side, his wife saw it as a waking nightmare, and fell into a coma after refusing to feed on peoples blood. Janus then seeks a cure for vampirism, enter the player, who does the legwork.

After gaining the cure, he administers it to his wife, ending her vampirism-induced coma. Waking long enough to say goodbye to her husband, she thanks him for letting her die as a human before embracing her end.

My post TES4 head-canon is that he uses his vampire immortality to form a small coven based out of Skingrad, which has flourished under his rule.

I actually didn't know Hassildor had a wife, I've never actually done that quest 👀 that's really interesting, I'm looking forward to doing it now!
