"Hmmm... What do they know about me..." I say, opening up the file labeled Commander Silvantus Malborne.
[Commander Silvantus Malborne]
[Status: Neutral/Combative, Prospective Asset? Low Priority, Emissary Level Approval]
[Description: Male Orc, Early Twenties, numerous scars.]
[Background: Little is known of his life prior to his arrival in Skyrim. He was reported being captured alongside Ulfric Stormcloak while crossing the border from Cyrodill (Relationship unconfirmed {Conspirator, henchman, lover?}). Shortly after escaping, he founded the Dragon's Maw Mercenary Company, which has few notable achievements outside of dragon slaying. Focuses on neutrality and assisting the common folk resulting in a positive reputation amongst the general populace which was boosted upon the revelation of his being dragonborn. He has openly joined the Companions and taken in several urchins off the street. He has also had several fatal conflicts with Thalmor forces in defense of a strange female Khajiit that matches the description of an escaped slave who has been ordered for recapture. His unusually high proficiency in dealing with dragons suggests tutelage from the Grey Beards, collaboration with Delphine or Esbern, or an extremely high innate aptitude in combat.]
[Operation Notes: Ascertain his standing on the Thalmor and his relationship with Ulfric before proceeding. If possible, attempt to pay for his loyalty. However, coercion may prove more beneficial if we can leverage possible harm to the strange female Khajiit or the adopted urchins. He will remain a low-priority acquisition target until his mercenary band expands its influence in the region or begins actively harming our interests.]
[Update: He suffered a severe wound after an operation with the Companions and has been recovering at an undisclosed location.]
"What the fuck?! Why would I fuck Ulfric!?" I shout in disgust before looking at their suggestion of harming M'rissi and the kids, which makes my blood boil.
Forcing me to take a few moments to calm down before I accidentally tear apart the dossier…
"This isn't actually that bad… I could even get them to pay me while I sabotage them from the inside…" I think aloud before moving on to the following file about my body's past, labeled Udan Gora.
[Udan Gora a.k.a. Commander Blood]
[Status: Active (Kill on Sight), Critical Priority, Emissary Level Only]
[Description: Middle Aged Orc, multiple scars, wields dual war hammers.]
[Background: Udan Gora's birth name is unknown; he was initially a slave acquired from unlicensed slave traders for a Dominion Farming Initiative on mainland Tamriel. He began going by his current moniker after successfully leading a slave revolt in the Dominion colony in question over ten years ago located on mainland Tamriel. He began a protracted campaign against Thalmor forces in the region until sequestering himself from the battlefield for a year. During this time, agents discovered the location of an orc stronghold that had been established in conjunction with the freed slaves. All rebels (Including men, women, and children) were eliminated; however, Udan Gora was absent. In retaliation, all Thalmor soldiers, officers, Justicars, and peripherally related emissaries were eliminated by Udan Gora personally within a year of the raid. Luckily reinforcements arrived to bring order to the region, and the rest of the rebels were caught and executed, leaving only the last leader of the revolt to be eliminated. Unfortunately, he fled to Imperial lands, and we have been unable to locate him since.]
[Operation Notes: His current whereabouts are unknown, but all Thalmor Emissaries are to remain on high alert for any news about his location and forward it immediately up the chain of command. Avoid conflict or notifying the target of his discovery until multiple assassination teams can be dispatched.]
[Update: A confirmed sighting has been reported at the primary slave processing and interrogation facility in Skyrim. All Emissaries are to remain on high alert until the target is eliminated. Evidence points to a possible collaboration between Udan Gora and the remnant of the Keepers of Hattu (See attached documents). This should be avoided at all cost. Several assassination teams are being sent to Skyrim to deal with the target.]
"God damn… Gora got some shit done… I really should change my face… I can't believe I'm a higher priority than Delphine…" I say to myself before flipping over to Valerius' file.
[Valerius Tiberius Artoria]
[Status: Active (Kill or Capture), High Priority, Emissary Level Approval]
[Description: Middle-aged Imperial, male. Veteran of the Great War, Last Leader of the Keepers of Hattu.]
[Background: While we succeeded in bringing the Empire to heel, this rogue commander has been continuing the fight against our forces at every turn. While we did lose the fight for Hammerfell, mostly due to the efforts of the Keeper's of Hattu, in recent years we have managed to all be eliminate this group and will be beginning preparations to secure the region soon. Valerius is one of the last major militant opposer capable of inspiring substantial resistance to our growing influence. As such, he must be captured or eliminated discretely to avoid making him a martyr to rally behind.]
[Operation Notes: Once located, begin scouting his location, defenses, and routine before sending an enforcement force to secure or eliminate him.]
[Update: Reports state that the target is now operating out of Skyrim, seeking to use the chaos of the civil war to hide his actions much like us. It is possible he may get in contact with another know militant, Udan Gora, this should be prevented at all costs.]
"Huh, looks like Valerius wasn't a pushover either... I wonder if he knew about me being Udan Gora, or if it wasn't even on his mind?" I ask myself before flipping to another file.
[Auryen Morellus]
[Status: Fugitive (Capture Alive), Moderate Priority, Emissary Level Approval]
[Description: 500 year old (Believed to be prolonged via arcane means), altmer, male. Suspected member of the Restorationist. Former tenured professor of archeology of the Dominion University of Excellence.]
[Background: Once a respected tenured professor of a renowned university, his questioning of the Thalmor and our practices made him slated for the first purge of intellectuals and dissidents after we took control of the government. Unfortunately, at the time, he was teaching abroad at High Rock. Since then, several attempts to detain and reform his incorrect views have been made, but all have failed. He is suspected to have penned several anti-Thalmor thesis' on behalf of the Restorationist.]
[Operation Notes: His vast wealth of information on a variety of cultures and history could prove useful to the Thalmor. It is advised if located to exercise the greatest caution when acquiring him as he is vastly more useful alive than dead.]
[Update: Target located in Solitude, Skyrim. He has ingratiated himself with local nobility and upper class individuals who would notice and question his disappearance. Advise against acquisition at this time. He has recently purchased a property in Solitude that he has expressed interest in refurbishing it into a museum. Recommend possible operations for seizing artifacts of note and value when a plan to capture the target is in place.]
"Huh, never heard of this Morellus guy before, maybe I should try and find him after this trial... Speaking of..." I look at my count down clock and realize I only have about 20 minutes left before the next wave begins.
"Well, guess I'll have to save the other files for later. Time to set some traps... And maybe a little surprise or two?" I say with an evil smile before running off to set more traps.
