A fairly high-level Dark Brotherhood Assassin (db_assassin4)

The Dark Brotherhood Assassins are a group of unnamed male Dark Elf assassins added by the Tribunal expansion. All of them are wearing a full suit of Dark Brotherhood armor, which is excellent light armor in terms of protection, second only to glass armor. They do not have any shields, however.

There are ten varieties of these assassins but they can be grouped into two, based on their role in the Tribunal main quest.

Sleep Attackers

If you sleep anywhere but the bedroll in the Seyda Neen Census and Excise Office basement, there is a chance that these assassins will attack. As your level increases, so do the number of assassins, their levels and the maximum number of times they will attempt to kill you. They attack alone until you are level 20 or higher, whereupon two will appear at a time after they have made their second attempt for that level. The likelihood of an attack increases with the player's level (specifically at levels 4, 10, 20, and 30) but decreases with the total number of attempts made.

In addition to a level-dependent short blade, they also carry an expensive carved ebony dart, which is difficult to obtain; you need to kill the assassin before he can throw it at you. They are part of the Dark Brotherhood Attacks quest.

Bugs

• While these assassins are members of the Dark Brotherhood faction in lore, they do not actually have any faction ID set in-game. They do, however, have their faction ranks set.

Notes

• As the Dark Brotherhood faction was added by Tribunal, all members encountered in the Morag Tong questline are technically not part of the faction. This includes Severa Magia, the Night Mother of the Dark Brotherhood in Vvardenfell.
