Larius

Larius is a former Thalmor agent, who once served under and eventually succeeded Corelas Adire. He is introduced in The Legend of Nirn and returns in The Legend of Nirn: World of Ruin as one of Kaizen's liuetennants.

Biography
Little is known about Larius' life before he joined the Thalmor, according to Corelas, he went on tour and oversaw a number of battles, unlike Corelas, he took this responsibility very seriously and sees himself as a war hero.

Larius joined the Thalmor at a young age and built his way up to Commander, he stole the position from Corelas, by starting a witch hunt and putting pressure on his former friend and then saying that Korina's (his wife) death was making him emotional.

The Legend of Nirn
Corelas goes to the embassy in the Imperial City, hoping to get help from his comrades in the Altmeri Dominion. Larius is asigned with the task of protecting the companionship and he takes over security around them.

Larius begins to see some change in Corelas' behaviour, noticing that he finds "degenerate humour" amusing all of a sudden. He tries to remind Corelas of his 'place' and shows nothing but disgust to his new 'friends.'

Larius escorts the companionship to the Bloated Float, however, he insists on having armed guards follow them and giving them a full escort. The Commander has a weakness for spectacle and it shows as he orders several, golden armoured, Thalmor to escort the group to the waterfront.

D'llaro appears and demands to know who has the information, Nish tells him that Larius has it and D'llaro's men take him away.

Nobody knows what happens to Larius after that and nobody seems to care, not even Corelas.

The Legend of Nirn: World of Ruin
Larius spends several years in Ganlas Elsinian's asylum, where he recovers from the trauma of being a hostage in D'llaro's camp. Kaizen recruits him into the Dark Brotherhood and he serves as Kaizen's right hand man for a while.

The Altmer does several tasks for Kaizen, mostly keeping Petra locked up but he also tries to get Tabith Delressi under his thumb. When Tabith refuses to cooperate, he and Bologra grab her niece, believing her to be the guard Captain's daughter and try to drown her in Lake Arius.

Bologra is uncomfortable with this and he is disgusted by Larius' lack of care for the child, who he reluctantly tried to kill. As a result, the Orc bursts into a state of rage and lunges at the Altmer, he attacks Larius and tries to kill him but Kaizen interveins, by driving an axe through Bologra's head, saving Larius' life.

Larius continues to help Petra build up the sanctuary, in Fort Farragut, until Kaizen returns. He and Petra bond a little, when nobody else is around, the Imperial is somewhat amused by his sense of humour.

When the fort is attacked, Larius runs off into the hillside, with Kaizen's invasion plans. His status is now unknown...

Personality
Larius is a very official man, with a superiority complex, with a number of facist and Darwinistic views. He dispises non Altmers and civilians, calling them 'degenerates.'

When he joins the Dark Brotherhood, he shows himself to be more tolerant as he serves an Argonian, works with an Orsimer and is pleasant to Petra, even when he has reasons not to be. He does show that he has nothing but disgust for Nepht, though it is implied that he hates her youth, rather than her race.

Trivia
