Mehrunes Dagon (Dark Heritage)

Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, also known as the Lord of Destruction and the King of Chaos, is one of the four Prime Evils appearing in the Dark Heritage universe.

Appearance
Mehrunes Dagon appears as a giant, muscular, red-skinned humanoid with spikes protruding from his forehead. He has a pair of glowing red eyes and pointed ears, similar to those of Elves.

Personality
Unreasonable, hot-tempered, extremely violent and completely without mercy, Mehrunes Dagon is a force to be reckoned with. He has little to no interest in the power struggle between Mundus and Oblivion and is simply bent on causing as much havoc, bloodshed and destruction as he is allowed to.

Biography
Mehrunes Dagon is considered to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest of the Daedric Princes born from the severed heads of Padomay. He represents revolution, change, ambition and energy, and could thus be seen as a manifestation of chaos itself. Despite his chaotic aspects, it is his younger brother Molag Bal whom is considered to be Padomay's true heir.

Fairly little is known about Mehrunes Dagon's own ambitions. Despite being one of the oldest of his kin, he doesn't seem to have any motivations of his own, instead happily following whatever scheme his younger siblings might contrive. During the Oblivion Crisis, he served as the leading commander of Molag Bal's forces, personally responsible for much of the destruction on Vvardenfell.

After he and his brothers' defeat at the foot of the Throat of the World, his soul was contained within a soul gem and given to the Cult of Talos. However some time after the Great War and the rise of the Third Aldmeri Dominion, the temple was destroyed by the Thalmor and its followers killed. It is unknown what became of the soul gem containing the essence of Molag Bal. Some theorise that it's currently in the hands of the Thalmor, while others say that the Mythic Dawn eventually got their hands on it.

Whichever the case, people find the lack of knowledge concerning the gem's whereabouts to be unsettling.
