The Agent, also known as the Hero of Daggerfall,[UOL 1] (b. 3E 375),[1][nb 2] was a Blade sent by Emperor Uriel Septim VII to the Kingdom of Daggerfall to put to rest 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.[2][3]
The Agent would end up becoming a pivotal figure of the complex political battles being fought in Iliac Bay, eventually finding themselves caught in a power struggle between the Empire, the kingdoms of Sentinel, Wayrest, Orsinium, and Daggerfall, the King of Worms, and the Underking, each coveting the Totem of Tiber Septim, the artifact that allows control over the great Numidium, for themselves.[4][5]
While it ultimately remains unknown who the Agent gave the Totem of Tiber Septim to, its activation in 3E 417 would cause the Warp in the West and reshape the landscape, both politically and literally, of the Iliac. They disappeared immediately after the Warp, with the Blades being unable to contact them despite their efforts to resolve the paradoxical and contradictory nature of the event.[2] One of the outcomes of the Warp in the West resulted in the Agent dying by the Numidium's hand when activating it for themselves.[6][UOL 2]
Notes[edit]
- The race and gender of the Agent is ultimately player determined. In-universe references to the Agent refer to them with male pronouns.[2]
- This birth year is contradicted by several of the background histories possible for the Agent in Daggerfall's character creation.
-
- A background history would have been used for a cut feature allowing players to import their character from Arena which would have made the Agent and the Eternal Champion one and the same.[UOL 3]
