Jakarn is a Breton rogue who is imprisoned in the Grave outside Port Hunding, on the island of Stros M'Kai.
Background[]
Jakarn is a womanizer, and with his smooth talking he has captured many hearts on the island. Among them are Irien, Nasmat, and Elethien. They all meet on the ship later and the three women want him to make up his mind or they'll throw him overboard.
After he has been recruited to Kaleen's crew, he will appear various times and help the Vestige perform their tasks.
Jakarn wound up with the other dissenting crew members with Captain Albert Marck and joined his crew in Wayrest. If the Vestige interacts with him, they will know what he has been doing since leaving Captain Kaleen's crew.
Interactions[]
Innocent Scoundrel[]
During the quest "Innocent Scoundrel," Jakarn can be interacted with after finding him in his cell. Afterwards the Vestige helps Jakarn to retrieve a stolen gem that he hid within a nearby goblin camp. Alternatively, if Jakarn is spoken to during "The Broken Spearhead," he will give the quest.
Tip of the Spearhead[]
Now that the Vestige has recruited at least one of the people Kaleen wanted, we can pull off her heist whenever ready. The goal is to break into Headman Bhosek's palace and steal the shipping logs from his lockbox.
Into the Hills[]
This quest is one of three quests within The Bloodthorn Plot quest line one must complete to proceed. Laganakh senses evil spreading on Betnikh and the need to know what's facing them before fighting, a use of a totem can bring up visions that might be of help.
Carzog's Demise[]
The investigations of the Bloodthorn Cult's activities have convinced Chief Tazgol that they threaten the Orcs on Betnikh. Lambur is leading the way to Carzog's Demise ruin to investigate them.
Jakarn is one of Captain Kaleen's crewmembers who opposes the retrieval of the ancient necromantic weapon for use of the Daggerfall Covenant, claiming it to be too dangerous a weapon at the same time complaining how life would be without challenge with the weapon in their hands.
Ascending Doubt[]
Jakarn has been hired by Lady Arabelle Davaux to obtain a set of amulets from Guild Scholar Valessea, but they got stolen before he got there. He is now investigating Valessea's disappearance.
A King's Retreat[]
Jakarn is sent to deliver the amulets to the representatives of the Ebonheart Pact and the Aldmeri Dominion. After the Vestige finds out that the amulets are cursed, they must track Jakarn and stop him from delivering the amulets. Jakarn later accompanies the Vestige to Sword's Rest Isle to look for Lady Arabelle.

Jakarn can first be encountered imprisoned in the Grave.
After releasing Jakarn from his cell and nearing the main exit of the Grave, he will wish to speak with the Vestige. "We can't go that way."
After exiting the Grave through the side exit, another conversation will follow. "Thanks for breaking me out back there. Listen, while you're in a heroic mood, want to help me get something I left with the Goblins?"
After entering the Dogeater Goblin Camp, Jakarn can be found near the entrance of the mines. "I unlocked the door. Now we can retrieve my gem. I'll see you inside."
Jakarn can be them found near the entrance of the main chamber. "This is the part where I trust you."
Once the stolen gem has been recovered, Moglurkgul can be found outside, looking for Jakarn. At this point the Vestige is able to choose whether to give the stolen gem back or keep it. Jakarn can be later found in Screaming Mermaid, surrounded by a fresh pack of admirers. If the Vestige had chosen to return the gem: "Glad to see you made it out."

After hearing Captain Kaleen's plan:
"It's a wonderful day for a sailing trip, isn't it, friend? Especially if it gets me off this rock before Bhosek chops off my head."
Out back: "Ah, my lowly servant! You're just in time."

In the Alliance Capital:
"Hey there, good-looking! Are you the one Lady Arabelle promised to send to me? I could use the help! I'm neck deep in a secret mission that involves a beautiful missing woman. It's a mystery straight out of an Investigator Vale novel!"
After speaking with Tarazka: "Thanks for talking to Tarazka. He's as cranky as ever. Anyway, the prisoner he mentioned must be the lovely Valessea. We need to rescue her! Come on, let's get inside and find Valessea and her kidnappers!"
In Khartag Point: "The Ascendant Order must have a hideout in here somewhere. Tarazka said he left a lantern at the entrance, right? Let's look around for any signs of Valessea."
Outside Sareloth Grotto: "Welcome to the arse-end of nowhere! This is the place Valessea described to me, the entrance to Sareloth Grotto. The five medallions must be somewhere inside. Let's hurry and get them back. You still have that shell Valessea gave you, right?"
After retrieving the medallions: "We recovered all five medallions. And we got to witness a surprise appearance by the mysterious Ascendant Champion we've been hearing so much about. Lucky us. A job well done, if I do say so myself."

In Skywatch:
"Hey, good-looking! I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon. Oh, and I wasn't giving this fine seneschal a hard time. I was just … building a trusting rapport. Anyway, I delivered the Aldmeri Dominion medallion. We can be on our way."

Conversations[]
- Ascending Doubt
Upon arriving on Vvardenfell:
Jakarn: "Tarazka! You're looking well, you old cat!" Tarazka: "Save it, Jakarn." Jakarn: "You haven't changed a bit! Friend, go ahead and speak with him."
- A King's Retreat
In Skywatch:
Jakarn: "I appreciate your dedication to this uptight, surly demeanor, but I'm just here to deliver a medallion to Queen Ayrenn." Seneschal Nomaadhel: "Be that as it may, a ruffian like you will not be allowed anywhere near our queen. I shall examine this medallion myself."
In the basement of Sword's Rest Keep:
Jakarn: "Listen! I hear someone up ahead!" The Ascendant Magus: "Have you breached High King Emeric's quarters yet? The Ascendant Champion: "Soon, my lord. We are almost through the wards." The Ascendant Magus: "I will suffer no more delays. You have this last chance, Champion." The Ascendant Champion: "Yes, Magus." Jakarn: "Just how many people are in charge of the Ascendant Order?"
Further in the basement:
The Ascendant Magus: "What news of the woman?" The Ascendant Champion: "She still eludes us, Magus. But there are only so many places she can hide." The Ascendant Magus: "A careless mistake. Deal with Emeric. Then find the woman and kill her." The Ascendant Champion: "It will be done, my lord." Jakarn: "It sounds like they haven't found Lady Arabelle yet. Come on, let's get to her first!"
Back at Lady Arabelle's Camp:
Jakarn: "Lady Arabelle, are you sure you're not injured? Everything happened so fast at the keep." Lady Arabelle: "Enough, Jakarn. I've been dealing with worse villains since before you were born!"
