Fathis Aren in his private quarters in Castle Bravil

Fathis Aren, a Dunmer sorcerer, is an Associate of the Mages Guild and the castle mage in Bravil. He also offers basic Conjuration training. Among his prized possessions is the famous Arrow of Extrication, which has recently come to the attention of the Gray Fox.

He has two distinct schedules: during the related quest he will be found in his own, private dungeon: Fathis Aren's Tower; but only after the Gray Fox has told you about your reward. He will then wander around his study, not even eating or sleeping, waiting for you to make your appearance. If he catches you trying to steal the arrow, he will proceed to attack you.

Otherwise, he is very rarely seen at the local Guild Hall, preferring to work in the privacy of his own study in the Castle. The only instance in which he can be seen there is between 2pm and 5pm. Before this, from midday to 2pm, he will wander around the Lucky Old Lady Statue in Bravil, but only if you have discovered the traitor's diary in the Following a Lead quest; and he will stop after you have completed the Dark Brotherhood questline. He will attend the Count's formal dinner between 8pm and midnight, when he retires to his private quarters and sleeps until 6am. He will offer his services 24 hours a day, except during the related quest.

He wears middle-class attire consisting of a burgundy linen shirt, burgundy linens, and a pair of quilted shoes. However, he is mostly seen wearing a leveled heavy cuirass, which he only takes off at dinner. He also possesses a leveled amount of gold, a castle key, an interior castle key, and a strange key.

In combat, he relies on a fine steel dagger, a leveled staff (starting from level 5) and a leveled set of spells from all of the magical schools but mysticism. He also possesses the standard conjurer birthsign.

His quarters, which are locked, can be found in Bravil Castle North Wing. Other than his bed, he owns two very interesting chests; both of which are locked. The first has fair chance (50%) of containing some gold, a piece of armor and a weapon and a small chance (25% each) of containing two filled soul gems, three empty ones and a gem. The second has a small chance (25% each) of containing two pieces of jewelry and three scrolls and a fair chance (50%) of containing some gold.

Apart from the Mages Guild he is also part of the Conjurer and Chorrol Citizen factions. The first is to make sure that he won't attack the the Conjurers found in Bravil Wizard's Grotto while the second seems to have no use.

[edit] Notes

• Fathis also appears to possess all of the containers and the alchemical apparatus found in the exterior of Fort Caractacus. This is probably a mistake and the ownership should have been Ancotar's, who lives there.
• During the Arrow of Extrication quest, his Aggression will be set to 100; making it likely he will attack you on sight. Once the quest is finished, his Aggression will return to normal.
• He is the only named member of the conjurer faction.
