#ELDER SCROLLS JAGAR THARN SERIES#

History records that Uriel eventually surpassed his teacher at balancing the skills of threat and diplomacy, and Tharn's role became less important as time went on. The Emperor, and the Empire, greatly benefited from Tharn's arcane powers and wisdom. They even formed a sort of master-pupil relationship. As Uriel's close advisor, Jagar brought shrewd council to complement the Emperor's ambition and agile mind in these endeavors. In the decades after Emperor Uriel Septim VII took the Ruby Throne in 3E 368, he aggressively expanded Imperial influence, especially in the eastern provinces. The task of tracking down the Staff and those responsible for taking it was entrusted to his then newly-appointed Imperial Battlemage. Uriel VII was gravely concerned by the theft. Nevertheless, this narrative maintains that it was Jagar who commissioned the theft and ultimately took possession of the Staff (after which he unsuccessfully tried to kill Drayven).

However, an alternative account later emerged which asserts the bard who stole the Staff was actually a master thief named Drayven Indoril, a member of the Nightingale Trinity (hence the name), and that the truth was covered up for political reasons. Historians recorded that it was stolen by a bard named the Nightingale, a man who Queen Barenziah of Morrowind later recognized to be Jagar Tharn himself.

The first known step was the theft of the Staff of Chaos, which was apparently stolen from its sanctuary beneath the city of Mournhold circa 3E 376. When Jagar began to put his plan into action is unclear.

The novel series also suggested he was part Dunmer and part Altmer, mixed with human ancestry. According to the historical fiction The Real Barenziah, Jagar claimed he was born in southern Valenwood to a Bosmer mother. However, Jagar's exact lineage is unclear. The Tharns were a very prestigious Cyrodilic family, which may help explain how Jagar found himself Imperial Battlemage to the Emperor, one of the most coveted and powerful positions in Tamriel. What we do is grim work, but it is necessary if the Empire is to endure. We are prized for our loyalty to the Empire, our deft political machinations, and our ruthless subjugation or elimination of dissenters within Imperial territories. History We Tharns have held positions of power throughout Cyrodiil since the days of the Potentate. It is not entirely known what Tharn's goals and personal accomplishments were during his reign. The Emperor dubbed the Hero who accomplished this the Eternal Champion, and granted him a place by his side. He was finally killed, and Uriel VII was freed and restored to the Ruby Throne. From 3E 389 to 3E 399, a period since known as the Imperial Simulacrum, Uriel VII was held captive in a realm of Oblivion while his battlemage reigned over the war-torn Empire. Jagar Tharn was the Imperial Battlemage of Tamriel who secretly imprisoned Emperor Uriel Septim VII, and used Illusion Magic to masquerade as the Emperor for a decade.
