* [[ColonelBadass General Tulius]] is the gruff leader of the Imperial Garrison in Skyrim whose able mind and ingenuity leads the Empire within Skyrim's CivilWar. Capturing Ulfric Stormcloak, Tulius is only stopped from ending the rebellion leader's crusade via execution by the untimely appearance of [[DestroyerDeity Alduin]], causing Tulius to prioritise the citizens of Helgen to escape. Tulius later has his soldiers retrieve the Jagged Crown to boost Solitude's respect amongst the jarls. Knowing that Ulfric intends on attacking Whitrerun, Tulius formulates a plan for Whiterun to join the Empire while protecting them from the onslaught. In the end of the Civil War crusade, Tulius personally leads the assault on Windhelm and stops the Stormcloak rebellion by defeating Ulfric and Galmar. Hand picked by the Emperor himself, Tulius shows why he's a worthy mind to lead the Empire's forces in Skyrim.
* [[ActionGirl Legate Rikke]] is the calm, collected right hand woman of General Tulius who proves to be [[HyperCompetentSidekick just as competent as her boss]]. Overseeing the selection of troops, Rikke has them tested to prove their mettle before having them join the cause. The main force along the Dragonborn with fighting the Stormcloaks, Rikke will orchestrate the plans to take over the Stormcloak aligned holds with methods of [[{{Blackmail}} blackmail]] and stealth. Not a slouch physically either, Rikke will aid the Dragonborn with the battle of Whiterun and the attacks on the Stormcloak's forts, culminating with her being one of the lead attackers during the siege of Windhelm, ending the ambitions of Ulfric Stormcloak and the civil war.
* [[BloodKnight Galmar Stone-Fist]] is the second in command of the Stormcloaks who aims to liberate Skyrim from the Empire along with his closest friend Ulfric Stormcloak. The commander of the troops, Galmar leads them on their operations personally. These consist of: plundering the depths of the Jagged Crown's location, [[AFatherToHisMen leading the assault on Imperial forts to rescue his soldiers]] and leading the assault on Whiterun. Managing to take over all Imperial aligned holds, Galmar along with Ulfric will lead the siege on Solitude to defeat Tulius and Rikke, liberating Skyrim from the Empire and loosening the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Thalmor's grip on it's land]].



* Delvin Mallory is a high ranking member of the Thieves Guild whose thinking skills are complimented by a genuine sense of affability -- with him also being responsible for the recruitment of some of the Guild members themselves. Having the Dragonborn perform missions to allow the Thieves Guild a better footing within Skyrim's major holds -- also making sure to reward the Dragonborn handsomely -- Delvin uses this to acquire contacts throughout Skyrim, granting the Thieves Guild the respect and fear it once held. Delvin's resourcefulness is also useful for the Dark Brotherhood as he is responsible for the refurbishing of the Dawnstar Sanctuary to allow the assassin cult to continue their murderous machinations and provide them a safe place to live.

Constantly seeking to [[KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge hoard knowledge of all sorts]] to fill the shelves of his arcane library Apocrypha through gambits atop of gambits, Mora bargains with servitors seeking Mora's secrets, rewarding those who are earnest and horribly punishing those who renege on his gifts. In the ''Dragonborn'' expansion to ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', Mora realizes his current servant, the Dragonborn Miraak, is attempting to betray him, Mora executes a plan to manipulate the Last Dragonborn into killing and replacing him, simultaneously using them to wrest the long-held secrets of the Skaal by refusing to grant them the last Word of Power necessary to defeat Miraak until they do so.

** Haknir Death-Brand, "the King of Ghosts", was one of the most legendary pirates to sail the seas, who amassed a great fortune in pillaging and became renowned for his unbeatable skills in combat. Haknir lived a life far extended past the natural through unknown purposes, and when his death approached, he deemed none of his crew worthy nor brave enough to inherit his treasure, and so cursed his possessions and hid them all across Solstheim. Anyone who tried to claim Haknir's treasure without first defeating him would be cursed, and when the Dragonborn finds his treasure, Haknir's spirit rises from the grave and duels the Dragonborn to test his worthiness.

* [[BadassNormal Cyrus the Restless]] is amongst the most legendary heroes of the Redguard race and responsible for ensuring his people a position of power in the Cyrodiilic Empire. Once a noble son of Hammerfell, Cyrus gladly turned to the life of brutal piracy after killing his brother-in-law in a duel. Cyrus returns home when he hears of his sister Iszara's disappearance and uses trickery and guile to track down the rebel Restless League she was apart of. Learning she was a captive of the necromancer N'Gasta, Cyrus uses a magic artifact to turn the sorcerer's magic against him and outwits the Daedric Prince Clavicus Vile in a [[KnightsAndKnaves game of riddles]] to save his sister's soul. The unwitting hero sparks a rebellion against the Imperial occupation after slaying the enemy's dragon to save the dead prince's soul and infuse it into a sword. While the League makes a distraction, Cyrus slays the corrupt Governor Richton to free Hammerfell and [[NotInThisForYourRevolution turns down an offer to be king]] to resume his life of freedom and debauchery.
* [[DragonInChief Dram]] is a dark elf assassin loyal to rising conqueror Tiber Septim tasked with aiding Governor Richton and the Imperials in securing their conquest over the Redguards of Hammerfell. When Prince A'tor led a fleet against the Empire, Dram assassinated the Prince with a [[PoisonIsEvil poisoned arrow]] while the Imperials' allied dragon distracted the fleet. Dram soon set his eyes on the pirates of the Restless League acting as rebels and overwhelms and captures the hero Cyrus when he comes to find his sister. As Cyrus escapes to aid the Restless League, Dram nearly kills him in an ambush and allows him to escape so he can track him and find the Restless League headquarters. Dram is on the verge of ending the rebels with an advanced airship until Cyrus comes to kill Richton, and he nearly ambushes and kills Cyrus a final time before a sword possessed by A'tor cleaves him in half.

* [[KnightTemplar Madanach]], the King in Rags and leader of the Forsworn, attempted to [[RebelLeader lead his people]] in a violent revolt against the corrupt Nords who occupied the Reach, landing himself in a prison cell within Cidhna Mine and the Forsworn in the pocket of Thonar Silver-Blood. Despite what Thonar believes, Madanach is far from under his control; when the Dragonborn meets Madanach, he's still [[HundredPercentAdorationRating fanatically adored by his own people]] and is in the midst of preparing another breakout. Madanach attempts to convince the Dragonborn to join him by amicably explaining his motivations and his justifiable grudge against the Nords running the Reach, and should the Dragonborn elect to join him, Madanach has them prove their loyalty by killing a traitor before breaking out of Cidnha Mine and personally killing Thonar.

* ''Azura and the Box'': [[NayTheist Nchylbar]] is a Dwemer scholar that uses logic and reasoning to dispel many of the superstitions throughout Tamriel. Seeking to determine if the Daedra were true gods, Nchylbar sought to test their supposed omnipotence and coerced his devout Chimer friend to summon Azura and challenge her. Simply asking her to tell what was in a box he was holding, Azura correctly guessed a red flower, only for Nchylbar to reveal the box was empty. The scholar use a simple thief's trick to hide the flower and prove the Daedric Princes weren't true omniscient beings. Dooming both himself and his terrified friend to a deadly curse by Azura, Nchylbar nonetheless died happily knowing his reasoning won out in the end.
* ''The Dowry'': [[GentlemanThief Welyn Naerillic]] is an up and coming Dwemer nobleman that sought to pass the tests put forward by wealthy landowner Ynaleigh to marry his daughter Genefra and obtain a great dowry. Welyn flawlessly charms Ynaleigh with his own wealth and knowledge and suggests a final test to make the dour Genefra smile. First asking to see the great dowry, Ynaleigh shows off the impossible traps protecting his vault, only for the party to discover the dowry has been stolen. Here Welyn reveals he had already broken into the vault and used the dowry to fund his efforts to win Genefra's hand in marriage. This makes the girl at last smile and laugh and earns Welyn the right to be the thoroughly impressed Ynaleigh's son-in-law.

* ''The Locked Room'': [[KarmicTrickster Yana]] is a spirited young Redguard thief-in-training whose love of toying with locks infuriates her cruel instructor Arthcamu. The pragmatic teacher grows tired of her ways and throws her into a locked room with a sleeping and starved vampire and teaches her a lesson by forcing her to escape quickly. Yana plots her revenge by creating an impregnable lock and convinces Arthcamu to test it in the locked room, and mocks him by saying only a specific key can break the lock. Giving the vampire means to escape, Yana had hidden the key on a chain around its neck as it slept and this proves to be the last thing Arthcamu sees as the monster rips him apart.
* ''The Marksmanship Lesson'': [[AWolfInSheepsClothing Dob]] was once a ruthless Bosmer highwayman until his crimes caught up with him and he was sold into slavery to the ruthless Kelmeril Brin. Whipped on his first day as Brin did to all his slaves, Dob played the role of mild mannered and broken house servant until he was asked to teach Brin's young son archery. Dob only taught the boy how to arc his shots and make them fly far rather than any actual accuracy. Once Brin discovered none of the targets had any damage, he began to furiously beat the wood elf all the while Dob kept up his marksmanship lesson. Dob's instructions allowed his student to arc a shot that kills his own father, and Brin's last sight was the smile of a highwayman looming down on him.

Kidnapping the Dragonborn no matter where they sleep, Astrid orders them to kill one of three hostages, not to find the one under an actual contract, but to [[SecretTestOfCharacter test if they will kill on command]] and invites them to the Brotherhood. Later on, Astrid's command is tested when the mythical Night Mother arrives with her insane keeper and names the agent the new Listener and orders the murder of the Emperor himself.
