Trivia
- The 100% poison resistance of the ancient shrouded armor is extremely useful against Spriggans.
- Multiple sets of his armor can be obtained using the Spell dead thrall. The Dragonborn can simply take his armor, cast the spell on his body, and leave to a different area. After returning his armor will re-spawn on his body. This exploit can be repeated as many times as desired.
- The Assassin of Old makes a poor thrall. Since he was never given any health, he will almost always die in one hit.
