Amantius Allectus is a male Imperial Commoner residing in the south-east corner of the Imperial City Temple District with his wife, Caula Allectus. He is a regular customer at The Feed Bag, a small inn located in the Imperial City Market District. Amantius is the target of a Thieves Guild quest, May the Best Thief Win.

He is the author of a Diary that details his somewhat macabre experiments on plants.

[edit] Notes

• After you have completed the quest May the Best Thief Win, you will start to hear the rumor:

  Amantius Allectus was killed during a burglary. They say the house was ransacked.

  This only occurs if you did not incur any blood price during the quest, and therefore circulates when Amantius is still very much alive; there is a chance that Amantius himself can spread this rumor. Presumably this is a glitch, and this rumor was supposed to start circulating if you had killed Amantius. There is another, more accurate rumor that you will also hear:

  Amantius Allectus is complaining about crime in the city. Someone actually broke into his house and stole his diary.

• Amantius claims to be working on a second edition of Lives of the Saints. Despite the identical title, this book is most probably not the same as the Lives of the Saints published by the Tribunal Temple.
• There is a door at the base of the stairs, along the western wall of the Allectus' home. There is no key to the door, nor does it actually lead anywhere.
• There is an entrance to The Temple Sewers in his basement.

[edit] Bugs

• In some cases, when you select "rumors" while talking to Amantius, he will speak to you about the ransacking of his own house as if he were someone else.

• This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
