Simplicia Palenix, Master Historian is an Imperial Nightblade from Vlastarus, Cyrodiil. She had a natural curiosity as a child, and later joined the University of Gwylim as one of its youngest members. While some of the University's scholars and students fled to Elinhir when the Three Banners War broke out, Simplicia chose to adventure across Tamriel and beyond, gathering notes for the United Explorers of Scholarly Pursuits.
