The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A male Imperial with a lean build and a perpetually furrowed brow, Orthus Endario's neatly combed dark hair and well-maintained merchant's attire suggest a man clinging to professionalism amidst chaos. He carries an iron dagger at his side, more symbolic than practical, and his upright posture and deliberate movements embody the discipline of a bureaucrat striving to restore order.

Orthus is diligent and earnest, often apologizing for the state of his office with remarks like, 'Please excuse the mess.' He exhibits a self-deprecating sense of humor, acknowledging the challenges he faces without resorting to bitterness. His interactions reveal a man burdened by responsibility yet determined to persevere, embodying the resilience of a bureaucrat navigating the treacherous waters of corporate politics and external threats.

As the East Empire Company's representative in Windhelm, Orthus oversees a dilapidated office plagued by pirate attacks that have crippled shipping routes from Hammerfell to Vvardenfell. The Shatter-Shield clan, operating a private shipping venture, remains unaffected, leading Orthus to suspect foul play, though he lacks concrete evidence. Desperate to salvage the Company's reputation, he enlists the Dragonborn's aid to eliminate the pirate threat, hoping to restore operations and prove his worth to his superiors.
