Raynil Dralas is a Dark Elf nightblade posing as a vampire hunter. He recently killed Bradon Lirrian in Bruma, and made it look like he was a vampire. In theory, he is staying at Olav's Tap and Tack, although he is never found there. He will eventually hide out in Boreal Stone Cave as you progress the related quest.
Exluding a helmet and shield, he wears a leveled suit of light armor, up to glass quality (always strongest for Raynil's level) and wields a leveled weapon, either a long blade or a claymore, up to Daedric quality (always strongest for Raynil's level). He also carries tan linens, a russet felt outfit and russet felt shoes, a leveled amount of gold and the three keys needed to open the Waterlogged Chest: Raynil's Key, Gelebourne's Key and Bradon's Key.
He is able to cast set leveled spells: 3 Destruction (2 major, 1 minor), 1 Alteration (Shield, Fire Shield, Frost Shield, Shock Shield or Burden) (major), 1 Conjuration (Bound Armor or Summon) (minor), and 1 Restoration (Restore Health, Absorb Health, Absorb Skill or Absorb Fatigue) (minor). With exception of one major destruction spell these are always strongest for Raynil's skill level.

A Brotherhood BetrayedEdit
You may first hear about Raynil from Bruma's denizens gossiping:
- "Did you hear about Bradon Lirrian? A vampire hunter named Raynil Dralas made his way into town, snuck into his house and killed him."
- "I was at Olav's earlier and I ran into this Dunmer named Raynil Dralas. After a round or two, he told me he was an honest-to-goodness vampire hunter!"
- Raynil Dralas
- "Yes, the vampire hunter. As far as I know, he just showed up recently here in Bruma. Not only that, but he already found a vampire among us. Apparently, Bradon Lirrian was one of those vile creatures, and Raynil slew him. Kind of strange though. I never figured Bradon to be a vampire. He seemed to be such a likeable fellow."
Once you enter the Lirrians' house, Carius Runellius will intercept you:
- "You're going to have to leave. This is a crime scene and no one other than ourselves or Raynil Dralas will be allowed access."
When you ask about Raynil, he'll expand:
- "Turns out that Bradon Lirrian is a vampire. Or was. If it wasn't for Raynil Dralas, we may never have uncovered the truth. Let me explain. In the last week or so, we've found two bodies stashed in shallow graves outside the city walls. The bodies had puncture wounds on their necks. The bodies were those of some beggars who used to wander the streets looking for handouts. Vampire probably thought no one would miss them. Luckily for us, Raynil arrived in town. He said he was a vampire hunter, so we asked for his help. He tracked the vampire to this house. When he entered the place around noon, Bradon was sleeping. He was able to slay him at that point."
- "I'm impressed. It only took him a day to track the vampire down. I guess that's why he does it for a living."
After you've been tasked by Erline to investigate, Carius will warn you:
- "I'll warn you about one thing. I understand you wanting to help Erline by checking up on Raynil. We have it on good authority from officials in a neighboring city that Raynil is what he says he is. So I'm not sure what you're trying to prove."
If you ask Fjotreid, Hafid Hollowleg or Petrine about him now, they will point you to Olav's Tap and Tack:
- "Ahhh, you mean that vampire hunter. He's staying over at Olav's Tap and Tack. It's near the city gates; you can't miss it."
Once you search his room and find journal proving Raynil has been murdering his former companions, Erline will provide you more backstory:
- "I knew I'd recognized Raynil! I think when I first met Bradon many many years ago, he introduced me to him. They were part of some sort of brotherhood. They would roam Cyrodiil in search of legendary treasures and the like. The only reason he stopped doing that is because we got married, and he wanted to settle down. I'm afraid thanks to Raynil, that time is lost."
Carius will also change his tune:
- "I can't wait to get my hands on Raynil. He'll become very familiar with Bruma's dungeons; or the end of my blade if he doesn't come peacefully."
Meanwhile Bruma's citizens will obliviously remark on Carius's attempts to apprehend Raynil:
- "Have you noticed all the city guards are roaming around the city as if looking for someone? I wonder what that's all about."
Upon your arrival at Boreal Stone Cave, Raynil will walk up to you and engage in conversation:
- "Congratulations. I had a feeling you would catch on sooner or later. Leaving that journal behind was a stupid mistake on my part. I saw you enter Olav's Tap and Tack before I could get there, and I knew that I had to sneak out of Bruma somehow. It was only a matter of time before you or Carius figured it out. No matter. After I've killed you, I won't need my vampire hunter ruse any longer."
- You will not surrender then?
- "Certainly not. I'm surprised Carius didn't send the entire city watch up here. But then I would have seen that coming I suppose. I expected to lay low here for a while and then be on my way. So again, I underestimated you. This leaves me with little choice. Either I fight you now, and have a chance at freedom, or I surrender and rot in a city dungeon. I prefer the chance for freedom."
- This is your last chance.
- "Yes, I suppose it is. Well, then, we've talked enough. Only one of us will walk out of here alive this day. Good luck."
If you slayed Raynil, Erline and Carius will both reflect positively on his end:
- "I'm glad he's dead. I know that's a horrible thing to say, but I think you understand."
- "You did what had to be done. There should be no regrets or doubts in your mind about it. Raynil was an evil Dunmer, and he deserved that fate."
Bruma's citizens will also comment:
- "I overheard that the vampire hunter who was in town was a fake. It was apparently a ruse to get his hands on Bradon's key to a treasure chest."
If you delayed and allowed him to escape, Carius will say:
- "I've provided Raynil's description to all of the Bruma soldiers and even dispatched his description to guards in other cities. However, I'm afraid he's slipped through our fingers. If he's as crafty as he's been up to now, he's probably halfway to Vvardenfell."
- "I'm sorry, there's been no sighting of him yet. Don't know if there ever will be..."
Olav will also be disappointed, while others will remark on his disappearance:
- "Sad that Raynil slipped away like that."
- "Not sure what happened to him, but I certainly haven't seen him."
