Sellus Prelius

Sellus Prelius, an Imperial citizen, is a retired legionnaire, father to Lassinia Iron-Heart and grandfather to Ellina Iron-Heart. During the related quest, you will be able to come to him with news about his son-in-law Harran's betrayal and he will reward you for keeping the knowledge from the rest of his family.

After waking up at 8am, Sellus eats breakfast before heading over to Castle Bruma at 9am. He spends the next three hours at court, before making his way to the Cathedral of St. Martin for two hours of prayers. Between 2pm and 8pm, he will be found browsing the market stalls, before visiting the Jerall View Inn's bathhouse for the next two hours. At 10pm, he heads upstairs for some food and drink, before returning home at midnight and heading to bed. The only exception to this schedule is on Sundas, when the pious Sellus can be found in the cathedral from 12pm to 8pm.

If you ask him about his son-in-law's whereabouts he answers: "Harran? That oaf... oh, did Lassinia send you my way? Forget I said that. No, I haven't heard from him in months. Not since he was called to arms." If you point it that he doesn't appear to be a fan of Harran's, he admits: "It's that obvious, is it? Well, I don't hate the boy. He's a good husband to Lassinia and a good father to Ellina, but if I had a son like that I'd ask the Divines what I had done wrong." Your investigations during the related quest will prove him right.

If you press him on why, he explains: "You might not understand why, but every soldier of the Legion takes an oath. Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor, Titus Mede II and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!Harran said those words but I could tell he never meant them. He holds Skyrim and his Nord heritage closer to his heart than he ever held the Empire."

He wears Colovian fine clothes and fine boots and is armed with a steel war axe. He also carries the key to his house and a random selection of gold, lockpicks, rings, food and drink.

Sellus's house has an apprentice-locked door and is found between Ice-Wind Traders and Renod Even-Toned's house. In the dining room when entering you will find a table laden with food and drink, as well as a cooking pot. To the left are Lassinia and Ellina's quarters: two beds, a chest, a knapsack, a copper and sapphire circlet and a flute. To the right is a chest, a mead vat, a trapdoor to the basement and a flight of stairs leading to Sellus's quarters. On the landing is a display case with Sellus's old Imperial armor, bracers and helmet, while in the study room to the right are two bookcases, a writing desk and a set of shelves with a strongbox, some gold and a flawless diamond. The room to the left contains Sellus's double bed, a chest, a potion of healing, a lute and copies of the rare books A Dance in Fire, v5, An Accounting of the Scrolls and Chimarvamidium. The basement is used as a storage room and contains a variety of food, drink and raw meats.
