The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A slender Imperial man in his early forties with pale skin and a wiry frame that moves with exaggerated flourish. He has green eyes that flicker between manic glee and icy focus, and he is dressed in a jester’s outfit of red, brown, and gold. His painted face adds to his absurd and unnerving presence, making him a figure of both humor and danger.

Cicero is a chaotic blend of manic glee and icy focus, often seen as a madman by others. His erratic mannerisms and high-pitched voice can be unsettling, but beneath the surface lies a deadly precision and unwavering loyalty to the Dark Brotherhood's original tenets. He is both absurd and unnerving, embodying the spirit of a jester while harboring a deep-seated fury at the current state of the Brotherhood.

Cicero once served as an assassin in Bruma before taking on the sacred role of Keeper of the Night Mother, a position long abandoned by the modern Brotherhood. He alone hears her whispers, treating her corpse with reverence bordering on obsession. His high-pitched voice and erratic mannerisms conceal a deep-seated fury at what the Brotherhood has become under Astrid’s rule—a mockery of tradition. Though many in the Sanctuary view him as a madman, Cicero is deadly precise and unwaveringly loyal to the Dark Brotherhood’s original tenets. He represents the old ways, believing the Night Mother has chosen a new Listener to restore what was lost.
