The ghost of Alain

Alain was a Breton Blades knight who has been trapped as an undead creature imprisoned in the ruined fort of Sancre Tor. You will need to release the Ghost of Alain as part of the main quest.

The first time you explore Sancre Tor, the cursed Blade can be encountered wandering around as an undead, in the northernmost room in the Catacombs of the ruined fortress. In this form, he will attack you on sight using the unique and enchanted Northwind katana; upon defeat, his soul will be freed, thus allowing him to help you remove the magic barriers in the Tomb of Reman Emperors. Upon appearing, the Ghost of Alain will walk all the way to the tomb and kneel before the magic barriers, in the process removing one of them. After you have claimed the Armor of Tiber Septim, Alain will disappear and finally find his peace in Aetherius.

Alain wears a complete set of Blades armor; helmet, cuirass, gauntlets, a shield, greaves and a pair of boots. He wields an akaviri katana and carries a small sum of gold.

Once free, the ghost will greet you by angrily announcing:

"Stand aside in the name of Tiber Septim and the Blades! Hinder me at your peril!"

The only real rumor about Alain comes from Jauffre, who will tell you that:

"The four mightiest Blades of Tiber Septim's day, Alain, Valdemar, Rielus, and Casnar, went to Sancre Tor and never returned.".

In addition, Casnar will also ask you:

"Have you seen Alain or Valdemar? Rielus fell in the lower chamber."

Notes

• The statistics provided here are for the version of Alain that appears after you have killed him. The original version that you have to fight and kill is a skeleton, whose statistics are provided in his Undead Blade listing.
• Alain has an additional greeting that you will never hear: "I was Alain, loyal Blade of Emperor Tiber Septim. I do not know how long I have been dead. It feels like an eternity."
