Pilerius

Pilerius (AKA The Blue Argonian, Sir Pilerius of Leyawiin, The Listener, Divine Crusader) is an Argonian Knight, who was born in the 3rd Era and was active around the time of the Oblivion Crisis to the early years of the fourth Era. He is redeemed Dark Brotherhood Listener, who became a Divine Crusader of the Knights of the Nine. His youngest son, Pelinal, suceeded him as the Divine Crusader and his oldest son, Kaizen, suceeded him as a Dark Brotherhood Listener. The two of them clashed swords, becoming the embodiment of Pilerius' inner conflict.

Biography
Pilerius lived an average life, until he was sixteen, when his parents were murdered in their family home. Pilerius attacked the murderer and claimed his life, making him the first of many to fall to Pilerius' hand. The Argonian wandered, aimlessly, across Cyrodiil as he looked for a new home, lacking the skills to afford his family home. He stumbled across an old Dunmer War Veteran, named 'Geoth.'

Pilerius and Geoth trained for a number of years, until the Argonian had reached the age of twenty two. One morning, during sparring, Geoth got incredibly aggessive and continued to attack Pilerius, ignoring his requests to yield. He gave the young Argonian no choice but to kill him, leaving the Argonian alone, once more...

The Blue Argonian stayed by his Master's side, awaiting help to arrive from the neighbouring villages and towns. He was eventually found, by his 'dead' Master's side and brought away, arrested, tried and put in the Imperial City's dungeon.

He rotted there for several months before he was visited by Lucien Lechance, who recognised his potential and skill. Lucien paid his fine for him and recruited him into their 'family,' finding himself relying on his skills before he met the Hero of Kvatch. Pilerius was proven to be gifted, with the ability to listen to the Night Mother, a Listener, much to everyone's surprise. He stayed loyal to Lechance, continuing to do several dead drops for him, until he found out about the Imperial's betrayal. He returned to serve the new Listener for a few months before he left, to pursue his own goals.

The Blue Argonian took hold of the sanctuary with Caius, an almost inhuman, Dunmer assassin and an unnamed Breton woman, who he was intimate with and eventually impregnated. The Argonian left, not long after, not knowing about Kaizen's conception. His first son, Kaizen, was born nine months later, the mother didn't survive the birth. He was brought up by Caius and several other members of the order to be the next listener, he resented Pilerius for leaving and believes that Pilerius murdered his mother, using him as the murder weapon.

The Unsung Heroes of the Oblivion Crisis
Pilerius recieved a letter, from an Agatha Tira after leaving the sanctuary behind him, he joined the expedition in Mehrunes Dagon's 'Deadlands' and provided support as a tank. He stays quiet through a lot of the adventure, Vaynivah immediately takes a liking to him, finding him attractive.

Pilerius stays close to the group and begins to form a small bond with Psywen, an Altmer who they find in the Deadlands. He bonds with her and shares more than he does with the others but he still keeps his past, his association with the Dark Brotherhood, a secret.

He taunts a daedric spider, demanding that Sithis takes them, which Arik Morgan picks up on, it isn't known whether or not the Imperial plans to use this against him.

Post Oblivion Crisis
Pilerius eventually found his way to the Priory of the Nine, where he was recruited as a knight. He eventually made his way up to Divine Crusader and fell in love with an Imperial Knight, who he had a second child with, Pelinal.

At some point he found the hideout of the Mythic Dawn, by Lake Arrius and massacred the remaining members there. It isn't known whether or not he did this before or after joining the Knights of the Nine.

Pilerius later left the order behind and vanished, without a trace, Pelinal's mother died, shortly after, leaving Pelinal to be brought up by Pilerius' former comrades. It isn't known what happened to the Blue Argonian after this, it isn't known if he died or found some way to live on, past his normal life span (like Agatha).

The Legend of Nirn
Pilerius doesn't appear in The Legend of Nirn but he is mentioned several times, thoughout the course of the story. Manja mentions him, when Swampy Cave is brought up and his sons Kaizen and Pelinal have some influence over the story.

The Legend of Nirn: World of Ruin
Kaizen mentions Pilerius a lot, after his resurrection. The Argonian loathes his father, a lot more than he loathes his brother Pelinal and has little to no respect for him. Caius was later shown to have a deep resentment for the Blue Argonian, presumably for leaving them. It was revealed that the Dunmer 'raised' his son, though his upbringing was traumatic at best.

It is shown that Kaizen often dreams about his father and brother, his greatest fear is becoming like him and feels as if his relationship with Petra is going to end the same way.

Legacy
His life and actions left a ripple, especially concerning his two children, who eventually fought. Kaizen's Lance of Retribution was used to stop the Great Lord Vidron and his former comrades lived on as Ethreal spirits, to protect it from Kaizen and his followers, hundreds of years after his death.

Personality
Pilerius is quiet, reserved and sensible, he is a conflicted man, who often tips to one extreme or the other and finds it difficult to find himself, throughout his life. He is loyal to his own people but he isn't afraid to put his own happiness first.
