"You approach the Shivering Isles. Through the door behind me lies the realm of Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, Lord of the Never-There."

―Haskill

Haskill is the chamberlain, councillor and savant of Sheogorath. His voice is quite calm and he shows no obvious signs of madness.

Interactions

Haskill is the first person encountered on the Shivering Isles, and will ask if the Hero wishes to enter the Realm of Sheogorath. If this request is declined, the Door to Cyrodiil will be the only location accessible.

Later on, the Hero will be able to summon him for no cost to magicka (Haskill can only be summoned inside Sheogorath's Realm). While he will not aid the Hero in battle, he will offer information and help on quests (although he is frequently and easily annoyed by the Hero throughout the entire course of the Shivering Isles questline).

When the questline is finished, he will be a source of income via small missions that call for the Hero to defend the Isles, and as a purveyor of entertainment. Haskill cannot be harmed; weapons will go through him with no adverse effect, as with Sheogorath in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Quotes

Quote Audio "Well done. I suppose you deserve your new post. Now, if only you stay alive long enough to enjoy it...." "Lord Sheogorath doesn't like to be kept waiting." "Confused already? How very disappointing." "Now is not really the time for conversation, is it? I feel like I'm interrupting something." "I wondered how long it would take before you needed my help. And here I am, at your service." "Well? Have you made up your mind? The tension is almost palpable." "More questions? Astounding. Speak." "How can I make your life easier? It's what I live for." "Uhm, Your Grace... now doesn't seem to be the best time for conversation. Perhaps your survival should take precedence at the moment." "Might we stop this now?" "Well done. Summoned again. I applaud you." "What a surprise. I'm summoned. Your skill in repetition is truly astounding." "Ah... our Lord has granted you the power to summon me. How wonderful for me." "While being summoned is truly a wonderful thing, and not at all tiresome, I believe Lord Sheogorath wishes you to speak with Him again." "Ah...you're here. Joy. You'll want to speak to the Lord Sheogorath." "I am Haskill, Chamberlain to the Lord Sheogorath." "I'd so enjoy that...." "Enjoy your stay." "My duty now is to the Realm. By serving you, I serve Lord Sheogorath." "You will sit on the throne. It has always been Sheogorath's intent for you to be the new Madgod." "You're having a bit of fun with me. Very good." "Yes. You have entered and now you are here. Amazing. Truly." "Another mortal. Quaint."

Trivia

• Haskill will appear at the Shrine of Sheogorath in Cyrodiil if the Shivering Isles main quest is completed.
• It is never revealed how Haskill came to be Lord Sheogorath's chamberlain.
  • Whatever Haskill's true nature, if this interview with the character (written by Bethesda employees) is to be considered canon, he is not mortal. Also, according to the same source, Haskill seems to harbor a lot of resentment towards Molag Bal for unknown reasons.
  • In this Loremaster's archive concerning Sheogorath, it appears that Haskill was once a human "mantled" by Sheogorath a long long time ago, back when Jyggalag existed. Haskill's memory of humanity is "hazy." 
• He is voiced by Jeff Baker.
• Sheogorath mentions him during the quest "The Mind of Madness" in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
• He appears in The Elder Scrolls Online during the quests "Long Lost Lore," "Simply Misplaced," and "The Mad God's Bargain." The Vesitge first encounters him in "Cheesemonger's Hollow."
