J'Ghasta is a Khajiit boxer who lives in Bruma. He is a speaker of the Black Hand, who meets his untimely end when Mathieu Bellamont tricks Lucien Lachance's silencer into believing a prominent Cyrodilic noble has taken out a contract on J'Ghasta for breaking his engagement to the noble's daughter.

[edit] Notes

• Judging by the construction set, J'Ghasta may be a practitioner of the techniques of the Ancestor Moth Monks.
• Searching the secret training room in his Bruma house will yield a copy of the Dark Brotherhood text, The Brothers of Darkness, hinting towards his position within the Brotherhood. A Black Hand Robe, Black Hand Hood, and The Five Tenets can also be found in a locked keg in his house.
• In the game, it is stated that J'Ghasta is a Speaker or Silencer in the Dark Brotherhood and also belongs to the Black Hand. However, in the construction set, J'Ghasta is only listed as a member of the "Dark Brotherhood -- Won't Call Guards" faction (editor ID DarkBrotherhoodNoGuard). This faction does not have any ranks. The information listed in the summary box is the construction set faction, because this is the information that controls the NPC's disposition, dialogues, and responses to scripts; see Factions for details.
• J'Ghasta is the first person Mathieu Bellamont tricks you into killing.
• If you talk to J'Ghasta, before you attempt to assassinate him, you can tell him Sithis sent you. J'Ghasta's response will reveal his surprise at that, wondering if treachery has a play in it. This is one of the first hints that something is wrong with the Dark Brotherhood contracts.
