The Midnight

The Midnight are a group of elite assassins based in Elsweyr. Very little is known of them, except that they will do their job as quickly and as cleanly as possible, harming as few other people and destroying the least amount of property possible. They are far more refined than The Butchers, the other well-known assassins.

History
Very little is known of the Midnight's history, but they are known to be responsible for the death of the famous Khajiiti bard, Ja'varn in 3E 209, around the time they started becoming infamous. The deaths of many Thalmor officials have been attributed to them, but none proven.

Contact
It is unknown how the Midnight are contacted.

Rumours
As with most things, particularly those shrouded in secrecy, rumours abound about the Midnight. Some claim that they are vigilantes, working for the good of the people and that their targets have all been corrupt. Some go further, and claim that they are working with the Thua Bronzi against the Thalmor. Certain conspiracy theorists claim that they are employed by the Thalmor, to create fear and an enemy, as well as to remove unwanted officials.
