The Agent, also known as the Hero of Daggerfall,[UOL 1] (b. 3E 375)[2][nb 1] was an operative of the Blades, sent by Emperor Uriel Septim VII to the Kingdom of Daggerfall to exorcise the spirit of King Lysandus, and on a lesser request to find and destroy a letter of a "sentimental and personal nature" sent by the emperor to the then-Queen of Daggerfall, Mynisera, several years prior.
The Agent would end up caught in the complex political battles being fought in Iliac Bay, eventually finding himself in a power struggle between the Empire, the various kingdoms of the region (including the Orcs of Nova Orsinium), the King of Worms Mannimarco, and the mythical Underking himself, all seeking to claim the great Numidium.[3][4]
While it remains unknown who the Agent ultimately decided to give control over the Numidium to, its activation in 3E 417 would cause the Warp in the West and reshape the landscape, both politically and literally, of the Iliac. He disappeared immediately after the Warp, with the Blades being unable to contact him despite their efforts to resolve the paradoxical and contradictory reports of the event.[1] It is presumed the Agent died by the Numidium's hand when activating it for himself.[5][UOL 2][UOL 3]
NotesEdit
- This birth date is contradicted by several of the background histories possible for the Agent in Daggerfall's character creation.
