Garrus Darelliun is the second-in-command of the Cheydinhal City Watch. He has no love for the Captain of the Guard, Ulrich Leland, and with your help he aims to take him down one way or another. Garrus is one of few named NPCs who will respawn if killed.
Garrus wields a silver longsword in combat. He wears chainmail boots, chainmail greaves, and chainmail gauntlets. He wears a Cheydinhal cuirass and carries a Cheydinhal shield, clearly revealing his identity as a Cheydinhal Guard. When off duty he wears leveled lower class pants, shirt, and shoes. He carries keys to the Castle's interior and exterior along with a key to his quarters in the Guards barracks. Besides that he carries a bread loaf and a small amount of gold.
He sleeps in the castle barracks from midnight to 6am, then spends an hour in the Castle Great Hall before spending 15 solid hours patrolling the area around the throne. He heads back to the barracks at 10pm for an evening meal, then it's bedtime once more. The exceptions to this schedule occur during the related quest. At stage 95, if the player has found the necessary evidence, Garrus will head off to find Count Andel Indarys and afterwards he will meet the player back at the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn. After this, he will resume his usual schedule.

Quest-Related EventsEdit
After having spoken to the town's most vocal opponent to Ulrich's crimes, Llevana Nedaren, you are advised to speak to Garrus to help bring Ulrich to justice:
- "There's one man who seems to care: Garrus Darelliun, the second in command of the guard. I hear he isn't happy with Ulrich. I don't know what you can do for us in this situation. I mean, Ulrich is the Captain after all. Perhaps you could speak to Garrus. You can find him roaming the County Hall of the castle most of the time."
Once you find him, he'll be willing to talk about Ulrich, but only if his Disposition is high enough:
- "What do you want?"
- Ulrich Leland
- "I can't say I'm prepared to speak to you about that. No telling who will end up finding out." (Disposition below 60)
- "It appears you've spoken to Llevana. I know she sounds a bit like a raving madwoman, but she isn't far from the truth. Ulrich is definitely up to something. Every day, we take in exorbitant fines from the people. Where most of that money goes, I have a good idea. Ulrich keeps his quarters locked, but I've glimpsed inside. The things he has in there could never be purchased on a Captain's salary. At first I thought maybe he was from wealthy stock, but many of the goods have been delivered recently. I'd love to bring him to task in front of Count Indarys, but I dare not without a solid witness that will speak against him."
- What about Llevana?
- "Honestly, she's never done anything to be fined or get in trouble...yet. The person I'd love to bring in as a witness is Aldos Othran. That is if we could sober him up for five minutes. I haven't approached him myself, as Ulrich has eyes everywhere. However, he doesn't know you well enough yet to suspect anything. If you want to help, you need to get Aldos to agree to become a witness. Nothing else can be done."
Garrus will now also provide a bit more information about Aldos and warn you off Ulrich:
- Aldos Othran
- "Aldos is living on the street now that his house has been seized. I begged Ulrich to give him more time, but he wouldn't. He won't be hard to find, just follow the smell of stale mead."
- Ulrich Leland
- "Beware of Ulrich. I wouldn't confront him at this time, as he'll surely have you thrown in jail. If you raise a hand against him and strike him down, you'll be accused of murder. Even if Ulrich doesn't do things by the letter of the law, I do."
He will part ways by saying:
- "You must locate Aldos. He's a danger to himself and others in his condition."
If you approach him again he will say:
- "I feel Ulrich's eyes upon me as we speak, so be brief."
Once Aldos has set off to reclaim his house, mentioning him to Garrus will net you a worried:
- "Make haste! Find him quickly... no telling what mischief he may get himself into and we need him as a witness!"
If you return to Garrus after Aldos' unfortunate death but before having spoken to Llevana, he will ask:
- "Have you discovered anything new?"
- Aldos Othran
- "Damn. I was afraid this might happen. Poor Dunmer. Please, go tell Llevana the sad news. I must ponder the situation. After doing so and returning, he will assert, "We must put an end to this travesty of justice."
After you've spoken to Llevana and heard her suggestion for violently dispatching Ulrich, you can return to Garrus to pick his brains about the scheme, which he will strongly discourage you from:
- "We must put an end to this travesty of justice."
- Ulrich Leland
- "Llevana has always been quick tempered. You must reconsider her plan. It can only lead to prison for her...and for you. I swear that Ulrich will pay for this. We must handle this carefully and prove to the Count that he needs to be arrested. Ulrich has been watching me, so I haven't been able to enact the plan I devised to bring him down. That ends today now that you're here. The evidence we need to incriminate Ulrich must lie within his quarters. You must sneak in there and retrieve it without being seen. If you're caught, there isn't anything I can do to help you. Just be careful."
- Aldos Othran
- "Aldos will be mourned. I won't stand by and watch the innocent being driven to the brink like that. Something must be done, but without bloodshed."
When leaving, Garrus express his intent to avenge Aldos:
- "Aldos's death is indeed a tragedy. We'll do what we can to put his soul at ease."
Llevana's ApproachEdit
If you side with Llevana, she will tell you to report her to Garrus with resignation:
- "Justice has been done. Go tell Garrus what's transpired here. I await my fate."
- "Go. Tell Garrus what I've done. I've nothing to hide."
When you do inform him, Garrus will be angry:
- Ulrich Leland
- "I'm very disappointed in you. The proper way to do this would have been my way, but you chose bloodshed. I should have you arrested. However, since you aren't fully at fault, I won't report your involvement to the Count. Llevana, on the other hand, will pay for her crime. I'll ensure that her stay in jail is not long. Obviously, I had no love for Ulrich, so I'll do what I can on her behalf. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must speak to the Count. Please, meet me at the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn in two hours."
Upon leaving conversation, he will say bitterly:
- "I really wish you had followed my advice."
He will then rush off to speak to the Count; if you catch him to a quick word, he will dismiss you with:
- "Like I said... meet me in two hours at the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn."
Once he reaches the throne room he will declare:
- "I must speak to the Count."
He then spends the next two hours in discussion with his ruler.
When enter the inn, Garrus will immediately approach you and offer you a small reward, despite it all:
- "I've come from speaking with Count Indarys, and I've news for you."
- "After speaking with the Count and reviewing your testimony, we decided to reduce Llevana's sentence as she was acting for self-preservation. I've been promoted to the post of Captain of the Guard, and hope to return respect to the peacekeepers of this town. The Count and I thank you for helping bring Ulrich's hold on Cheydinhal to an end, though we would have preferred having him brought up on charges. As a token of our gratitude, as you did this at the risk of false imprisonment or perhaps your life, we reward you this bounty of gold. On behalf of the people of Cheydinhal, I thank you."
- Ulrich Leland
- "Although your intentions were good, your actions were despicable. Murder is the lowest form of revenge, and a road I would never dare to tread."
Garrus' ApproachEdit
If you sided with Garrus and retrieved the proof of Ulrich's crimes, Garrus will excitedly ask when approached:
- "I trust there were no run-ins with the guards in the barracks."
- "You're back, good. Did you find the evidence?"
- Ulrich Leland
- "You've done it! This will spell his undoing when I present it to Count Indarys. Splendid work, splendid work indeed! I must hasten to the Count and deliver this immediately. Please, meet me back at the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn in about two hours."
With this, Garrus will rush off to speak to the Count and take his leave by saying:
- "We finally got him! There'll be no excuses this time. Ulrich is mine."
After two hours, Garrus will meet you as promised at the inn and approach you:
- "After speaking to the Count, and in light of the evidence you recovered, Ulrich has been removed from his post and arrested. Many guards are coming forward with more evidence of his greed, so it's safe to say he'll been [sic] spending quite a bit of time in the city dungeons. I've been promoted to the post of Captain of the Guard, and hope to return respect to the peacekeepers of this town. The Count and I thank you for helping bring Ulrich's hold on Cheydinhal to an end, and for doing so without unnecessary bloodshed. As a token of our gratitude, as you did this at the risk of false imprisonment or perhaps your life, we reward you this bounty of gold. On behalf of the people of Cheydinhal, I thank you."
He will then hand you a leveled amount of gold, higher than if you took Llevana's path. Asking him about Ulrich will have Garrus reassure you:
- "Ulrich will be spending years in the city dungeons. This should give him plenty of time to reflect on what he's done."
He will leave you with:
- "Until we meet again, may your travels be safe and the road remain clear."
From now on, when greeted and when leaving conversation Garrus will say:
- "As always, you're a welcome sight."
- "Until we meet again, may your travels be safe and the road remain clear."
Speaking to Llevana will see her cheer Garrus's promotion:
- "I'm overjoyed to hear that Garrus has replaced Ulrich as the Captain of the Guard. I'm sure he'll do a fine job."
NotesEdit
- If you kill Ulrich yourself, Garrus will greet you by saying: "Yes? What news are you bringing me?"
- Should Ulrich die in any other way, when you approach and greet him, Garrus will now say:
-
- "You'll have to excuse me."
- "I'm far too busy to speak to you right now."
- Garrus also has two unused lines. The first was to be used if you report back but without the incriminating letter, which is not possible as it is a quest item. The second was a line about Ulrich you could ask after delivering the letter, but as Garrus always dismisses you with his greeting, you'll never hear it.
-
- "I don't see anything here we could use to incriminate Ulrich. You must return with something more tangible. Be careful."
- "Allow me to check with the Count."
