-> '''Played by:''' Rook

* MindControl: He uses his illusion magic, particularly his Charm spell, often, mainly to tweak and fine tune emotions.

!! Eolwyn
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6ff8b3e825cbcfe42498ffbeeb3aac45.jpg]]
-> ''"I already have a job, thank you, and it involves bringing in criminals, so... you can see how working for a guild of thieves would be a slight conflict of interest."''

-> '''Played by:''' Aarah

A Bosmer bounty hunter. She had been hunting Nandrnil for years, and finally caught up to him at a small cave in Skyrim. However, she didn't expect to encounter a trio of shipwrecked survivors - Niralie, Valentia, and Arellius - there as well. She managed to capture Nandrnil, and brought him, as well as the survivors, to Windhelm.

----
* ActionGirl: She leads a bit more of an active life than the other female characters.
* TheArcher: One of the characters with the most prominent archery skills.
* ArcherArchetype: She fits this, considering that she's a Bosmer, her profession means that she often works in the wilderness and alone, and she's very practical.
* {{Backstory}}: Born in Valenwood and lived in Falinesti for a while, working with the city's law enforcement. Her work eventually led her into hunting criminals, and eventually she moved to Cyrodiil, working as an investigator for the Mages Guild.

-> '''Played by:''' Baloth-Kul

An Orc and a member of the Thieves' Guild. He first appeared in Windhelm, sneaking around the pirates' ship. He encountered Eolwyn shortly afterward and teamed up with her.

* ArtificialLimb: After losing his hand in his duel with Captain Malvirian Linvail and then relinquishing a Thread of the Webspinner, Sanguine grants him a mechanical hand of apparent Dwemer make in appearance, though its origin is still indisputably Daedric.
* {{Backstory}}: He was born in an Orc stronghold, but not to the chieftain; his father was killed for it and his mother fled with the newborn Grelok.

* DualWielding: Uses two daggers.
* TheFace: He prefers to speak for his companions.
* HandicappedBadass: He lost a hand in his battle against Malvirian Linvail.
* {{Hunk}}: He's an attractive, at least for an orc.
* GentlemanThief: Played straight as a member of the Skyrim Thieves Guild, which generally looks down upon killing a mark during a job.
* IAmYourOpponent: Does this to Malvirian, and immediately gloats about killing his son afterwards.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: For an orc, he's pretty un-orcish and doesn't seem to care much for his race's customs.
* TheSneakyGuy: He's a thief.
* WeaponOfChoice: Steel daggers. He later acquires a dagger as a gift from the local Khajiit locksmith in Windhelm, Madajha.

!!Katlina
-> ''"Come, let us disgrace ourselves and sing like there is no tomorrow!"''

-> '''Played by:''' The [=SheoDovah=]

A Nord healer who first appeared during the siege in Windhelm, protecting the Snow Quarter.

----
* {{Backstory}}: She was the daughter of a retired Companion, and she attended the College of Winterhold for several years before taking a position as a healer in Solitude.
* BoisterousBruiser: An interesting case. Katlina is a 'only-when-necessary' killer when it comes to battle, preferring to heal. However, when it comes to rowdy tavern brawls and the like, she will be the first to throw a punch.
* [[{{CantHoldHisLiquor}} Cant Hold Her Liquor]]: After a few drinks she begins speaking to and openly threatening a roasted chicken during a feast. She is promptly suggested to go to sleep by the Palace guards soon after.
* HealingHands: She's a healer.

* TheMedic: It's her main job.

!!Niralie
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/46883ea7e29c0c7fb94faf52ad86f47d.jpg]]
-> '' "I should've taken more jogs around the Gardens back in the Imperial City and spent fewer days with my nose in a book."''

-> '''Played by:''' Alarra

An Altmer mage. She joined the group in Suran, arriving at Desele’s after the kagouti attack. When the adventurers' ship wrecked, she took a lifeboat with Arellius and Valentia. The trio encountered Nandrnil and Eolwyn, and made it to Windhelm.

----
* AintTooProudToBeg: After her first near-death experience, she's terrified of dying, and will do this if she fears it could happen.
* {{Backstory}}: Born in the Imperial City, and grew up studying magic. She attended the Arcane University for several years until she decided to travel the world, and ended up in Morrowind.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Easily one of the most friendly and genuinely empathetic characters in the cast. However, during the Siege of Windhelm, she causes unparalleled chaos among the attackers' ranks with her amplified destruction skills thanks to the Ring of Sanguine Red Wisdom.
** Her performance in the battle was the definite turning point in the defenders' favor, lighting several ships aflame and decimating pirate ranks with a blizzard.
* {{Bookworm}}
* DirtyCoward: Considers herself this to an extent because she left behind part of the group at the guardhouse, and then took one of the spots on the lifeboat, to save herself.
* EasilyForgiven: Averts this; she held grudges against Per and Arellius for a while after they tried to kill her.
* FireIceLightning: As a Destruction mage. She uses fire and ice about equally; lightning not so much.
* HealingHands: A skilled Restoration mage.
* KillItWithFire: How she disposes of several attacking ships during the Siege of Windhelm.
* TheMedic: Has been filling this role, mostly, due to Restoration magic being one of her main focuses.
* NearDeathExperience: Several. Arellius tried to behead her, but Katien's Reflect Damage spell came into affect at the right moment and threw off his swing. She was tackled into a wall by a frost troll, and although she was injured the blow wasn't as bad as it could have been. Then Nandrnil tried to kill her as she lay on the ground still stunned from the troll, but his [[MagicMisfire spell didn't work]]. He also hit her with his wraith-summoning spell, which threw her across the room, but fortunately it wasn't quite enough to kill her and the wraith didn't notice her.
* NiceGirl: One of the nicest characters of the cast.
* ReluctantWarrior: She prefers not fighting, but will if she has to.
* ScarsAreForever: Has one on her shoulder from Arellius' attempt on her life.
* UnluckilyLucky: She's been in the most near-death situations so far out of all the characters. However, she's had lucky moments to survive them; see NearDeathExperience above.
* WeaponOfChoice: Destruction magic and her Elven shortsword. She acquired an enchanted Absorption Dagger from Jarl Ragnir's armory as a reward for helping defend the city.

!!Nora "the Fox" Felkin
-> ''"No! No more delays, explain to me the answers I seek!" ''

-> '''Played by:''' [=BetaB17=]

A Skaal that works as a mercenary. She first appeared during the Windhelm siege, defending the Snow Quarter.

----
* ActionGirl: She grew up brawling with the boys, and later dealing with drunks in the inn, and now works as a mercenary.
* {{Backstory}}: She was born in the Skaal village on Solstheim, and at the age of 7 hitched a ride to Soitude. An innkeeper took her under his wing, and she befriended a boy named Benhart. When she grew up she chose to be a sellsword, and though her friend proposed to her, she still wishes to continue her adventuring.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Nora is perhaps the most outright heroic member of the Threads group.
* DualWielding: When deemed she will use both her swords
* {{TheLadette}}
* LawfulGood
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: She often pairs up her primary weapon with a shield whenever possible.
** Her beloved shield was damaged by a throwing axe during the Siege, however.
* TheMagnificent: Like most nords, she prefers a honorific titpe as a surname, much like her idol Hans the Fox
* NamedWeapons: Her swords are Frostbite and Quicksilver.
* WeaponOfChoice: Her Nordic longsword, Frostbite. If she is disarmed, her second choice is a shortsword named Quicksilver.


!! "The Debt Collector"/"Quintus Iliad"
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ta2_char_tdc.jpg]]
-> ''"These are dark times we've stumbled upon."''

-> '''Played by:''' Velvet [=LeChance=]

An Imperial with strong Telekenesis abilities. He made his debut by killing Arellius before making his way to Windhelm on a mission to assassinate the Jarl. He met Niralie and Dorian while in the city and went along with them.

----
* AndIMustScream: He can render his victims silent by controlling their vocal chords.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts polite to everyone, hiding his true evil nature.
* KarmaHoudini: After killing Arellius and both raping and killing the whore Arellius was with, Quintus moved on to manipulate the people of Windhelm through guile and performance during the Siege of Windhelm, he was rewarded and hailed as a Champion before slipping away quietly, no one knowing of his true nature.
* ManipulativeBastard: He prefers manipulating people into doing things rather than doing them himself, and he views the whole thing as a game.
* MindOverMatter: He is an expert at Telekinesis. This can range from as simple as moving an object, to as complicated as manipulating someone's internal organs.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name has not been given thus far (he is only referred to as "The Debt Collector" in narration) and he has only gone by aliases so far.
* SlasherSmile: He gave one when attacking Arellius.
* WickedCultured: He has some sort of aristocratic background, and the dress and mannerisms to show for it.

!!Valentia Rumare
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/839e7a8e17fd14b998bce6bb381dda4b.jpg]]
-> '' "I hope you don't want a housewife, '''Sir Laennec''', because you won't get one out of me."''

-> '''Played by:''' Unionhack

A young Breton mage. She joined the adventurers at Desele's in Suran. When the adventurers' ship wrecked, she took a lifeboat with Arellius and Niralie. The trio encountered Nandrnil and Eolwyn, and made it to Windhelm.

----
* AdventurerArchaeologist: With more emphasis on the 'Archaeologist'.
* Backstab: Her method of attacking Malvirian Linvail, opening him up to a fatal shot from Eolwyn.
* {{Backstory}}: She was raised by mage parents, and joined the Mages Guild at a young age. She began traveling the world to learn more about its history, which led her to Morrowind to study the Dwemer.
** Her claim of being in Morrowind to study the Dwemer was only half-true; she also desired to leave Cyrodiil to find a place where Daedric worship wasn't outlawed, and to escape the painful memory of losing her friends from the cult of Sanguine.
* {{Bookworm}}
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Faced with unrealistic expectations from her parents in her magical studies, Valentia fled and joined a cult of Sanguine to embrace a life of chaos and adventure. [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Things got bad sometimes]], but she considers the wild, hedonistic year she spent with the cult as the best of her life until she lost a majority of her friends in obtaining the [[AmplifierArtifact Ring of Sanguine Silver Wisdom]].
* DeadpanSnarker: She is easily the most sarcasm-inclined member of the Windhelm crew, if not the entire cast. She is known occasionally drop snarky one-liners.
-->''"Errr... What's a simple way to put this? Psyfalia had a bit of a fall. Horizontally. Against a cabin wall."''
* HealingHands: She knows healing spells.
* HiddenDepths: At first glimpse Valentia seems to be a well-off student of magic with little world experience. She has, however, shown evidence to the contrary; for example, she tells Arellius rather casually that she has seen the effects of skooma withdrawal before.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: One of Valentia's defining character traits is her crippling insecurity, being afraid of being merely average for most of her life. She does several things to make herself stand out, from disguising her plain brown eyes as a vivid violet with illusion magic, to wielding a Daedric Artifact to amplify her merely adept skill in illusion to impressive levels.
* KillItWithFire: The type of Destruction magic she uses most.
-->''"Vampires again, appearing out of nowhere? Fire. Massive enemy ship? Fire. Pink winged trolls from the uncharted reaches of Oblivion itself? Fire. We don't exactly have the time to put up a detailed defense plan, do we?"''
* MoralityAdjustment: During her initial appearance, Valentia displayed a positive demeanor. As the story went on and further hardships occurred, however, her mood has soured to the point of being constantly aggravated, and even conspired with Arellius to take the only lifeboat on the sinking ship for themselves.
* NaughtyByNight: Valentia spent about a year in a cult of Sanguine, who is the daedric lord of hedonistic revelry, debauchery, and passionate indulgence of vices. Needless to say, Valentia has been around the block a few times despite her young age.
* NearDeathExperience: Arellius tried to behead her; however, Katien's Reflect Damage spell came into effect a split second before, and deflected the blow meant for Valentia.
* ParentalNeglect: The cause for most of her personal issues and problems. Her parents are high-ranking Mages Guild members and she was expected to show prodigal skill; when she proved to only have middling skill in most forms of magic save for illusion, her parents instead became distant instead of encouraging their daughter to perform better.
** This is implied to be at least a little dramatized by Valentia.
* PrestigeClass: Valentia begins the story as a mage specializing in illusion, though her skill is rather unremarkable without her AmplifierArtifact. As the story goes on and she starts experimenting with the blade, it becomes clear that she has the potential to make for a rather skilled Nightblade given her skillset.
* WeaponOfChoice: Destruction magic. She has been known to wield Arellius' ebony tanto a number of times, and she eventually ended up buying a silver shortsword of her own. She later acquired a bow from the newly installed Jarl's armory.

!!Zudeel
-> ''"I don't sing or dance. I'd prefer not to make a fool of myself, especially here."''

->'''Played By''': KingFeraligatr

An Argonian Mercenary who took part in the defense of Windhelm alongside the other player characters.

* TheAloner: Dislikes social interaction with his fellow Champions, preferring to sit in a corner with a book while everyone else parties and feasts.
* {{Backstory}}: Was taken as an apprentice to an adventuring Battlemage and went on to make a name for himself as a mercenary and adventurer.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: His parents were murdered by slavers whom Zudeel had wronged in his line of work.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: His Battlemage mentor was killed on a job gone wrong.
* TrueNeutral: Oh, very much so.
* TheQuietOne
* TheStoic: Stoic is his favorite emotion, second only to neutrality.

A Breton. She and Rosa were camping on a beach in Skyrim when the adventurers' ship wrecked just offshore, and they brought the remaining adventurers - Sinyail and Sees-in-Shade - to a Dwemer ruin, which happened to be where Theodastyr Camlorn's expedition was camped.
----

* {{Backstory}}: She was born in High Rock and left her parents' caravan at the age of 20 to travel the world, taking up random jobs and banditry.

----

----
* {{Backstory}}: He was a thief at some point in is youth, and later became a priest.
* IronicName: His most favored alias 'Nammu' literally translates to 'No name', a subtle nod to his character.
* LackofEmpathy: Befitting though it seems, regardless of the contrast between his actions. He has displayed this both when he removed potential threats and painfully sapped the very essence from a dying Falmer, or when he unintentionally saved Rosa and consistently offered generous aid.
* MeaningfulName: Not just his preferred alias, but others as well seem to hold possible hints, or act as adaptations of his real name
* NightmareFuel: This appropriately describes everyone's reaction when Nammu drained an injured Falmer of his very essence in order to replenish his own reserves. A very painful and cruel process especially when driven to lethal levels
* TheMedic: As an alchemist he can make potions, and he also is skilled in Restoration.
* TheNameless: He supposedly lacks a name, openly accepting any alias he is given

-> '''Played by:''' Minor Edits

A timid Argonian. He joined the adventurers in Vivec just as they were about to set sail. He was part of the group that remained on the ship during the wreck and eventually made it to shore on a raft.

----
* {{Backstory}}: He was born in Shadowfen and trained by his father to fight (he wanted him to become a Shadowscale) – however, he prefers fishing. His father will not allow him to return to the tribe until he has proved himself, so he wanders around Tamriel.

* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: His primary language is Jel, the same for many of his kind.
* LizardFolk: He's an Argonian.

-> ''"Runnin's a slow dea'here: we stand 'n'fight."''

-> '''Played by:''' Velvet [=LeChance=]
-> '''Status:''' Dead

An Imperial mercenary. He was employed by Gudrun when they were hunting Llevana and Llela; however, she was killed in the ensuing battle, and a troop of enemy soldiers arrived in Suran, so he decided to travel with the group of adventurers. When the group's ship wrecked, he took a lifeboat with Valentia and Niralie. The trio encountered Nandrnil and Eolwyn, and made it to Windhelm, whereupon Arellius went his own way. He was killed some time later.

* WouldHitAGirl: The first thing he does when he meets the group of adventurers is try to kill Niralie and Valentia, and he also later beats up Psyfalia.

-> '''Played by:''' The-Shadow-One
-> '''Status:''' Dead

A Breton; Katien is male, but thought to be female by the other characters, and is identified as such in the narration. She was at Desele's when the kagouti attacked, and joined the group there. She traveled with them to Vivec and onto the ship, and drowned during the wreck.

----
* {{Backstory}}: He was born in Skyrim as the chieftain's son in Dushnikh Yal.

* LargeHam: Most of what he says is shouted dramatically.

* TribalFacePaint: Wears red face paint.
* WalkingTheEarth: Before meeting the adventurers.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ta2_char_nandrnil.jpg]]

-> '''Played by:''' Hissien
-> '''Status:''' Inactive (alive)

An Altmer conjurer. He is a fugitive from the law after being charged with murder and necromancy, and was hiding out in a cave in Skyrim when Niralie, Valentia, and Arellius stumbled across him. He was subsequently captured by Eolwyn and imprisoned in Windhelm. He managed to escape the prison and went on the run once more, traveling to Solitude.

----
* {{Backstory}}: He was born in Skingrad, and joined the Mages Guild when he came of age. He studied there and became friends with – and later married – a Dunmer named Anriel. Their son was born early, and lived only a few hours. Anriel became obsessed with the idea of summoning his spirit and bringing him back, and convinced Nandrnil to help her with the ritual. It went wrong: they accidentally summoned a wraith, which killed her. Nandrnil was accused of the murders his wife had committed to perform the ritual, and sentenced to execution, but was freed by a stranger and became a fugitive.

!The Threads of Fate

!!Sanguine, Daedric Lord of Debauchery
-> ''"Yes, you guessed right, lovelies; it is I, Sanguine, Daedric Prince of revelry, hedonistic celebration, indulgence of vices, et cetera et cetera and ad nauseam. I know you all well; I've been watching you quite intently through my little baubles. You're a fascinating little bunch, in more ways than you know."''

One of the 17 Daedric Princes, he is the Prince of hedonism, debauchery, and the further indulgences of one's darker nature. Feeling that his artifacts, the Threads of the Webspinner, had been strewn about the realms untouched for far too long, he disguised himself as an Argonian seer ('Seeks-the-Lost') and inspired Malvirian Linvail to seek the Threads out, biding his time to swipe the artifacts at a later date in order to redistribute them across the land as he saw fit.

However, after witnessing the actions of the player characters in resisting Malvirian's siege on Windhelm, he took an interest in them and revealed his true form, emparting them with the quest to recover the remaining Threads scattered about Tamriel in order for them to be returned to him.

----
* DealWithTheDevil: Some of the player characters are worried that his given quest will end up like this.
* DevilInDisguise: He adopted the guise of Seeks-the-Lost in order to goad Malvirian into pursuing the Threads, promising him glory and riches.
* GiveMeYourInventoryItem: The essence of the quest he gives to the player characters.
* GodInHumanForm: He can assume any form he wishes as an avatar, though it's usually something flashy.
* HotGod: He adopts an attractive avatar after shedding the guise of Seeks-the-Lost.
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: When in his Dremora-like form, he wears fitted robes that shift through the colors of the rainbow.
* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: He has been watching the group with mild interest since Suran through Valentia's ring, though once they enetered Windhelm and became intertwined with Malvirian's hunt, his interest grew to the point of him abandoning Malvirian in favor of the player characters.

!!Jarl Ragnir Ember-heart
-> ''"Your fool of a son is dead, old 'friend', and this city will fight to the last man, heathen trinket or no. Now turn tail like you did in the Legion, or fight me like a man!"''

The newly installed Jarl of Windhelm, having defeated the previous Jarl, Valdimar, in single combat. He is a proud, just man who believes in ruling firmly but fairly. He was originally a legionnaire and then a militia leader, but with the help of Eolwyn, Grelok, and Felix, he was able to stage an uprising against Windhelm's corrupt Jarl in order to take the position himself.

----
* CarryABigStick: His weapon of choice is a Skyforge-Steel Mace.
* TheCoup: With the aid of the player characters (mostly Eolwyn and Grelok), he is able to muster support for a coup against Valdimar, and wins through a duel to the death to become the new Jarl.
* CurbstompBattle: Absolutely ''decimated'' Valdimar in their duel, as everyone present expected.
* DuelToTheDeath: The method through which he kills Valdimar and takes up the mantle of Jarl.
* FantasticRacism: Subverted. He seems to hold some animosity towards elves deep down, but he is able to put this aside to handle business, and even names several elves as champions of Windhelm. He is often quick to shut up his militiamen if they mouth off a slur.
* HomeGuard: Before becoming Jarl, he had raised up a local militia to do the work of the corrupt city guard force. Upon winning the title of Jarl, most of his militiamen became guards in their own right to replace those who abided Valdimar's slimy ways.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Totes a shield in tandem with his mace.
* RousingSpeech: Several times.
--> ''"I ask all able bodied men and women now; join us in fighting this menace who seeks to disrupt our lives in their aimless quest for plunder! Raise your sword in defense of your homes, your families! Those who are unable or unwilling to fight, the palace is open to you until the siege passes. Give what you can to the defenders. We will weather this storm, and we will rebuild when the time comes."''


!!Malvirian Linvail
-> '' "I will give the Jarl of this hole five minutes to deliver what I seek before I raze the city to the ground."''

The dreaded Pirate King that coveted the Threads of the Webspinner, setting his eyes on the city of Windhelm to find the artifacts residing there.

----
* ArcVillain: Of Act 2.
* CharacterDeath: Through the combined efforts of Grelok, Eolwyn, and Valentia. Grelok distracts him in a duel, losing his hand in the process. Valentia takes advantage of the distraction by breaking out of an invisibility spell and stabbing Malvirian in the back, stunning him. Eolwyn then takes the opportunity to finish Malvirian off with an arrow to the neck.
* Elfeminate: Averted. Even though Dunmer tend to be the most physically-able of the Elder Scrolls elves, he is noted to be especially physically capable.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It is implied that he would have spared Windhelm of an attack if he were simply handed the Threads. However, the death of his son at the hands of Grelok leaves him determined to simply raze the city to the ground.
* FlatCharacter: Because of his danger to the people of Windhelm and the player characters themselves, he doesn't spend much time talking during his physical appearance in the story. What little that could be gleamed of his personality came from letters he had sent to his son.
* NeutralEvil: His only goal is to acquire all of the Threads of the Webspinner in order to attain unstoppable power and to build his legacy from said power. Damned be any that get in his way.
* Pirate: Of the Brute variety.
* PirateKing: Of the pirates sailing the waters of Skyrim, Morrowind, and Solstheim. It is unknown what sort of ramifications his death will have on the piracy scene there.
* SociopathicSoldier: He was formerly an Imperial Legionnaire and served with Ragnir, but was dishonorably discharged on account of his unruly behavior. He turned to piracy afterwards.

!!Dalvum Linvail
-> ''"You'll find that people are normally willing to steep to... mild extremes when Daedric artifacts are concerned."''

Son of the Pirate King Malvirian Linvail, who docked at Windhelm to find the Threads before his father arrived as to not warrant an invasion if it wasn't necessary. Things didn't quite go his way.

----
* CharacterDeath: Grelok manages to stab him to death after a quick brawl in the captain's cabin of the ''Morgiah''.
* DaddyIssues: It's likely that Malvirian only used him as a conduit for his legacy as a notorious pirate.
* TheDragon: To his father, Malvirian.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His death eliminates the possiblity of any peaceful resolution to Malvirian's arrival at Windhelm. At least Grelok makes up for it later.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He was killed by Grelok shortly after his first physical appearance.

!!Vayniah Linvail

Daughter of the Pirate King Malvirian Linvail, who fought in the Siege of Windhelm and made her escape when her opponents began to quarrel among themselves.

----
* BreakoutCharacter: Though she served a relatively small role as a miniboss for Dorian (and later Zudeel), her Thread-enhanced acrobatics coupled with her mastery over fire magic has made some players hope for her return in a much larger role.
* DragonAscendant: Several players are fairly convinced that she will return later in such a role.
* MiniBoss: While Grelok, Valentia, Niralie, Eolwyn, Nora and Katlina fought off Malvirian in the Snow Quarter, Dorian and Zudeel fought her at the Windhelm bridge.
* SoLongSuckers: She initially offers her acrobatics-enhancing Threads as compensation for her release, but when Zudeel and Dorian disagree on letting her live and come to blows over it, she escapes after a quick taunt.


!!Felix, the Steward

The Steward of both Jarl Valdimar and then Jarl Ragnir, who lended his leverage in the court to the heroes in order to displace the corrupt Jarl Valdimar.

----
* QuestGiver: He lays out the plan to get rid of Jarl Valdimar to the player characters, offering replacement options and displacement methods.
* WildCard: He only serves Jarl Valdimar to keep his family safe. Once he realizes he has a way out of the arrangement, he devotes himself to helping the heroes depose the Jarl.

!!Runthor Star-song

A guardsman in Windhelm who resisted Valdimar's corrupt ways to the point of being thrown in jail. He was a possible candidate for the position of Jarl, but instead became Jarl Ragnir's Guard Captain upon his installation.

----
* BeingGoodSucks
* ByTheBooksCop: Especially after becoming Guard Captain.
* DraggedByTheCollar: He is hauled off by corrupt guardsman after expressing his hatred for the Jarl's ways in light of Valentia being openly attacked in the streets.
* TheFettered: He is committed to doing right and acting honorably.
* HonorBeforeReason: Runthor stands fast on his beliefs even though it lands him in a jail cell.

!!Jarl Valdimar Gold-heart

The Jarl of Windhelm upon the arrival of the heroes. Portly, hedonistic, and corrupt, his abysmal leadership was a contributing factor to the Siege of Windhelm.

----
* AintTooProudToBeg: He pleads with Ragnir to reconsider the duel, though he tries to mask it by making it sound as if he's concerned about ''Ragnir's'' safety.
--> ''"N-now, then, Ragnir, surely we can work something out? There's no need for you to put your life on the line, here, is there...?"''
* CharacterDeath: He is challenged to a duel to the death by Ragnir, and is decidedly trumped in battle. To solidify his victory, Ragnir strikes him one last time with his mace, killing him.
* DirtyCoward: To the very end.
* TheHedonist: Very much so.
* MoneyFetish: And not above taking bribes from the pirates to allow them to bully his people.
* TheSociopath: Not so much that he actively pursues evil, as much as he is completely unmoved by the suffering of his own people so long as he gets what he wants.
** He is implied to have once been a good man, but after wearing the Amulet of Sanguine Enterprise for over a decade, his gift for dealing and negotiating led to an insatiable lust for gold and other material goods. This lust only worsened over time, resulting in the Jarl of the present day when the heroes arrive.

!!Madajha, the Locksmith

A locksmith in the city of Windhelm and an elder member of the Thieves Guild. She provided the group with information when they were searching for Lithia, and helped defend Windhelm with a labyrinth of myriad traps.

----
* TheDowager: Though not quite royalty, she ''is'' the mother of Ak'rassa, the current leader of the Skyrim Thieves Guild.
* MasterOfUnlocking: She is a locksmith, as well as a practiced Thieves Guild Member.


!!Elethir, the Innkeeper

The Innkeeper of the ''Exile's Rest'' in Windhelm's Snow Quarter. He and his wife nursed Niralie and Valentia back to health after Arellius and Eolwyn dropped them off in his inn.

----
* TheBartender: He acts as this to his customers.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: He outlives his daughter Lithia, who was killed when Grelok's battle with Dalvum Linvail led to the pirate ship they were on catching on fire. He doesn't take it very well.
** He seems to be handling it better after the siege, knowing that his daughter's 'killers' have been brought to justice. He never realized that it was inadvetendly Grelok's fault
* TraumaInn: He and his wife heal Valentia and Niralie at his inn.

!!Lithia

Elethir's daughter. A hopeless romantic, she was swayed by false promises of love and high adventure by Dalvum Linvail, and manipulated into providing the pirate with valuable information.

----
* CharacterDeath: She is caught in the blaze that Dalvum inadvertendly started when he tried to strike Grelok with a fireball on board his ship.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: She believes that her supposed romance with Dalvum will lead to adventure and love. The poor girl never realizes she is being doped.
