The Morag Tong Assassin

The Morag Tong Assassin is a Dark Elf added by the Mehrunes' Razor official download. You will originally find him in the Jail in Sundercliff Village, where he has been imprisoned by the Drothmeri Army. As the letter in the jail explains, they know that he must have been sent to assassinate someone, but have been locate the assassin's writ and thus identify the target. You can choose whether to ignore him, release him, or kill him.

If you kill him, you will find that he is wearing a unique set of Morag Tong armor, plus a possibly enchanted dagger and a piece of stealth-related jewelry. The armor is particularly valuable, consisting of leveled Morag Tong Boots, Cowl, Cuirass, Gloves, and Greaves. These are some of the best light armor pieces for stealth-related characters available in the game. However, the level you receive is randomly determined: even level 40 characters only have a 50% chance of receiving the best quality items (and a 50% chance of receiving the second-best items). The level is even calculated differently than other items: it is calculated at each level-up, not when you first enter the zone.

His orders, revealed by a Soiled Writ of Assassination on his person, are in fact to kill the Drothmeri Commander, whose full name is revealed to be Commander Telani Adrethi. If you choose to release him from jail, he will immediately slip into sneak mode (with the help of two strong Chameleon potions that are added to his inventory once he leaves his cell) and head off to find the Commander. Whether he succeeds depends on how many patrolling soldiers he comes across along the way, as especially at higher levels he may succumb to multiple fights.

If he completes his assignment, he will make his way to the Inn of Ill Omen, sprinting all the way. Once he arrives he simply stands in front of the door, never venturing inside, and no longer serves any purpose (other than the valuable armor that you may covet). Due to his high Aggression and low Responsibility, he will attack any NPC that he sees along the road, be they Imperial Legion foresters, soldiers or any hapless traveling NPCs.

Notes

• As he has infamy points, killing him will not count as a murder.
