Hemming Black-Briar is a Nord and the eldest son and heir of Maven Black-Briar and brother to Sibbi and Ingun. He lives in Riften, in Black-Briar Manor.

Personality and traitsEdit

Hemming wears Fine Clothes and a Fine Hat, like many of the Black-Briar family. It is widely acknowledged that Hemming doesn't have the same power as Maven, and seems to live under her thumb. For instance, she becomes the Jarl of Riften after Laila Law-Giver leaves, and he is her steward.

InteractionsEdit

Hemming becomes steward of Riften if the Imperial Questline is carried out, and will then sell the player Honeyside and the upgrades for it.  

NotesEdit

One of his lines refers to Sibbi and Ingun as his children instead of his siblings. He is sometimes found sleeping next to Maven in her bed; he may have originally been written as her husband.

Hemming has apparently been seduced by Haelga before, as when the Dragonborn first visits Riften, they can witness Maven warning Haelga about "practicing her Dibellan arts" on Hemming. This may be connected to the above theory that Hemming was once Maven's husband, or simply that Maven does not want her son's reputation ruined by being seen with Haelga.
