Soul Servant

Velar's Soul Servants are a type of Daedra encountered in Velar Ceysel. They can be summoned with a spell "Conjure Soul Servant".

Background
Soul Servants were created by Velar Veleth, an insane mage, to serve as guardians of his Oblivion realm. Soul Servants are mindless husks, which are kept living because of the souls trapped within them, however, there has been a case of a sentient one. If a Soul Servant becomes a vessel of more souls, it gets more powers but is also prone to insanity, making it impossible to command. Some Servants overcome this obstacle, are granted more power and transform into Supreme Soul Servants.

Some souls trapped within the Servants can escape their dark vessels. These Souls most commonly roam Velar Ceysel without a physical form. Unlike those who were soul trapped, these Souls can gain a vessel, either their body or another corpse.

Appearance
Soul Servants appear similar to the Ash Spawn found on the island of Solstheim, but are instead opaque black, with red eyes and veins. They are always equipped with an Ebony War Axe.

Combat
In combat, Soul Servants tend to curse the opponent first, weakening him, and then switch to melee. Their War Axes make them quite formidable opponents. They also prove to be very tough, withstanding a few blows of a Daedric Sword. However, they only know a single spell which can only be used after a certain period of time if hit, providing mages and archers with an advantage. Soul Servants are pretty common in Velar Ceysel, and thus can overwhelm and defeat enemies with ease.

When killed, Soul Servants' bodies will dissolve into black ghostly remains.

Trivia
