Xervish

Xervish is a Dunmeri, former House Telvanni, Wizard in the Aubeanic Reign. He starts off as a lieutenant in the Rising Sun, the leader of the Morrowind branch. He is introduced fleeing a raid on his base, after Telemachus tracks him down. Through the unwilling sacrifice of every other life in the base, the Dunmer is able to escape and arrive in Cyrodiil, where he begins his journey.

Biography
Xervish grew up like most House Telvanni wizards, constantly wanting to outdo his peers and raise his status at all costs. However, he even proved to be too extreme for this environment, causing himself to be stripped of title and rank before being cast out into the wastelands of Morrowind.

Xervish eventually found the Rising Sun and due to his intelligence and vast knowledge of magic, he eventually rose up to the lank of lieutenant and took over the Morrowind branch. The Dunmer's reign was somewhat short lived though as his place was raided by Telemachus' men, only a few years later.

Personality
Xervish believes himself to be above everybody else, to the point that he is willing to sacrifice lives that he believe are 'beneath him' in order to survive or to get his way. This is shown when he murders another group member, Kariah, for sustenance after turning into a vampire.

However, Xervish is helpful towards his fellow group members, when duty demands it, he helps Isis fight Aratius and the group fight Telemachus and is always willing to lend a hand against enemies that he despises.

He is misanthropic but not necessarily cruel, he doesn't commit evil unless it is necessary and does appear to regret it later on, though it isn't known how heart felt his sympathies are.

Appearances
Xervish appears in the Aubeanic Reign and the non canon sequel Fall of the Aubeanic Reign, his name is referenced in World of Ruin but it is unknown if these are the same characters.
