Oblivion:Dark Brotherhood Murderer

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Dark Brotherhood Murderers are NPCs that appear in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary at the conclusion of the Dark Brotherhood questline, Honor Thy Mother. The Murderers are the lowest ranking initiates of the Dark Brotherhood and recent additions to the Sanctuary, evidenced by their ignorance concerning Sithis or The Night Mother. The Murderers will follow you on command, although only one Murderer may follow you at any given time. They have a disposition of 100 and are generally quite obsequious in their interactions with the player. If one of them should die, then they will respawn next to you in one week, assuming you haven't chosen another one to follow you, in this case, they will respawn at the Sanctuary.

[edit] Types of Follower

Each Murderer wears Shrouded Armor. The Archer also wears a Shrouded Hood.

A Dark Brotherhood Murderer

This Murderer is a female Breton Mage. She can be found in the Sanctuary's Living Quarters. Her magical repertoire consists of the same spells she would sell the player, most notably 2 frost damage spells and a restoration spell. She carries a Silver Dagger.

In addition, she offers merchant and spell services and will purchase stolen goods, although she only has 300 available gold. She sells the same spells that M'raaj-Dar previously offered, although she does not sell any of the unique items that were offered by M'raaj-Dar. She will not offer these services while following the player or when under orders to stay at a location.

[edit] Notes

• Just as with M'raaj-Dar, it is not possible to invest in this store, even after you have reached 75 skill in Mercantile.

[edit] Bugs

• The Dark Brotherhood Murderer merchant is one of only three service providers in the game who cannot be persuaded, limiting your options for how to increase her disposition towards you. This also means that it is more awkward than usual to access her barter menu. On the Xbox 360 and PS3, the down control does not work; you must instead use the left or right controls (either via the thumbstick or direction controls).

[edit] Archer

A Dark Brotherhood Murderer

This Murderer is a male Imperial Archer. He can be found in the main hall of the Sanctuary. He is armed with an Iron Bow, Iron Arrows and leveled magic arrows but does not carry a melee weapon.

[edit] Commands

Murderers may be given five different commands:

• "Follow me, and keep pace.": The Murderer will follow you at a reasonable distance. They may talk to other NPCs if you are moving slowly or hanging around an area.
• "Follow me, with utmost haste!": The Murderer stays close to your back and tries their best to keep up. They do not talk to NPCs.
• "Follow me, but remain hidden!": The Murderer casts a 15 point Chameleon spell and follows in sneak mode.
• "Stay here, underling.": The Murderer will not move from the specified spot, but will still attack enemies that come close.
• "Begone! I am done with you!": The Murderer will stop following you and return to the Sanctuary.
