The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A middle-aged Imperial man with olive-toned skin, thinning gray-brown hair combed neatly back, and sharp hazel eyes framed by deep worry lines. He wears rich, formal robes of burgundy and gold trim, and a small signet ring bearing the seal of Whiterun.

Meticulous, cautious, often overwhelmed but unwavering in loyalty. He is a shrewd administrator who values stability above all else, sometimes clashing with bolder voices. Beneath his anxious exterior lies a resilient and sharp mind.

Proventus has served as the steward to Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun for many years, managing the intricate affairs of the hold with unwavering dedication. His meticulous nature and cautious approach have kept the city stable through turbulent times, though his tendency to worry often leaves him overwhelmed. Despite his lack of martial prowess, he wields the weapon of bureaucracy with skill, navigating political and administrative labyrinths to serve his liege.
