The Bleak Mine Guards are employed by Lord Drad to keep his ogre slaves working and to guard Bleak Mine against intruders.

There are three types: two of them are identified as "Bleak Mine Guard" and can be distinguished by the lower level variant wearing a helmet and not wearing any pants. The third type is called the "Bleak Mine Guard Captain".

There are two Bleak Mine Guards in the mine. They wear leveled heavy armor consisting of a cuirass, helmet, shield and pair of boots but do not wear anything on their legs. Their weapon is a leveled longsword and none of the equipment is ever enchanted.

Each guard carries a Tarnished Ogre Cage Key and, oddly, two copies of the Shiny Ogre Cage Key.

[edit] Bugs

• If you do not kill all of the guards during their related quest, they will follow you everywhere (even into Oblivion) until either of you are dead. You may not see them, even for many days, but they will still be after you. If you are arrested at any time after this quest, you will find the surviving Bleak Mine guards waiting for you when you exit the prison. They will not be hostile unless you draw a weapon, at which point they will attack you, prompting a fight with other nearby NPCs.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
