The once chilly air around Ilinalta and the surrounding forest have been replaced by smoke and embers.

Smoke and embers from the fires ravaging in Helgen.

For this is Dinoksetiid, the End of Time.

As well as being the Count of Skingrad, Janus Hassildor is a powerful mage. He has served for decades as the Count without a single scandal and is widely known as the Count most liked by his people, though they rarely see him as he lives a rather reclusive lifestyle. This is due to a dark secret that Hassildor is hiding: he and his wife Rona Hassildor are vampires. He can interact with the Hero of Kvatch several times throughout Oblivion, in both the Main and Mages Guild Questlines and some side quests. 

Biography

Around fifty years before the Oblivion Crisis, Janus and his wife Rona Hassildor were attacked and turned by vampires. Janus came to accept their new lives, but Rona saw it as a curse and refused to drink even donated blood. She would soon fall into a coma and Janus began to look for a way to cure his wife so that she could find peace once more. During his time as Count, Janus has been successful in helping Skingrad grow and thrive, which makes him very well-liked by the people even as reclusive as he is. Very few people are aware of his condition, but the Hero of Kvatch becomes one of them. He feels no kinship toward other vampires and hates vampire hunters. He also hates necromancers and the Mythic Dawn faction. 

During the Main Questline quest Allies for Bruma, the Hero of Kvatch will approach Hassildor and request his assistance to prepare for the Great Gate fight. He will refuse to send any aid while there is an Oblivion Gate outside of Skingrad as they cannot afford to lose any men. After the Hero of Kvatch closes the gate, he will agree to send guards to Bruma. Skingrad supplies one guard for the fight.

Hassildor is interacted with twice during the Mages Guild Questline. The first time, the Hero of Kvatch is sent by the guild to retrieve a book from Hassildor. After speaking to one of his stewards, Mercator Hosidus, the Hero of Kvatch is directed to a location outside of Skingrad where it is revealed that Mercator is a necromancer and will attempt to kill the Hero of Kvatch. Hassildor will appear and help to defeat the necromancers. It is revealed that there was never a book to be retrieved and that they were likely lied to and sent to spy on him instead. He tells them that he is not allied with the Necromancers and sends them back to the guild. The second encounter with Hassildor starts when he sends for the Hero of Kvatch to give them some information he has that will assist the council. Once they assist Hassildor by clearing out a vampire hideout and getting rid of a group of vampire hunters in Skingrad, Hassildor will reveal that Mannimarco has returned. 

Finally, the Hero of Kvatch can interact with Hassildor while searching for a cure for vampirism. Hassildor will explain that he and his wife had become infected and how Rona slipped into a coma. He then sends them to a group of witches who are rumored to know the cure and bring it back to him. Once the Hero of Kvatch finds the cure, Janus gives it to Rona and she dies after a short interaction between the two. The Hero of Kvatch is then free to also take the cure, but Hassildor will not as he wishes to continue ruling over Skingrad though he does appreciate knowing that he has the option for a cure. 

Cool Quotes

"You impossible fool. What possessed you to think I would suggest a meeting here, of all places? At least your gullibility served some useful purpose. I knew about Mercator, but not his friends. Now none of them are a threat any longer."

"Yes, I see that now. I regret that Traven has involved you in this way. At least you've survived... for now. Perhaps in the future, you can be trusted enough to deal with more serious matters. Now, our business here is concluded. I suggest you return to your Council."

 "While Skingrad is threatened by an Oblivion Gate, I cannot spare any soldiers for Bruma. Whatever you may think of me, I still protect my own. This is my city, and Mehrunes Dagon will not have it while I remain Count of Skingrad."

"Believe me, Mehrunes Dagon will know he was in a fight if he tries to take this city from me."

Hero of Kvatch, while in the Cheydinhal Oblivion Gate: Learn to be responsible for the consequences of your childish pranks!

Farwil Indarys: With great cuteness comes zero responsibility. That's the motto I live by.
