"You've got yourself a deal there, idiot. Now I can sell it for five times its worth."

―M'raaj-Dar

M'raaj-Dar is a Khajiit merchant in the Cheydinhal Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. He sells a variety of items, including some unique enchanted weapons and Poisoned Apples, and is also a spell merchant with unique Dark Brotherhood-themed spells. He is notable for his instant and great dislike of the Hero of Kvatch, which he eventually renounces towards the end of his life.

PersonalityEdit

M'raaj-Dar dislikes the Hero when they first join the Dark Brotherhood and talks aggressively to them. Unless playing as a Khajiit, M'raaj-Dar will call the Hero a "foul-smelling ape." He refers to a Khajiit Hero as a "house cat" and "a disgrace."

Upon beginning The Purification, he says he likes the Hero for all that they have done in the Dark Brotherhood, and would gladly be their friend. Unfortunately, completing the Purification requires the Hero to kill him.

TriviaEdit

• M'raaj-Dar cannot be invested in even if the Hero has the required mercantile skill.
• He will buy stolen items.
• After completing the Dark Brotherhood questline, a female Dark Brotherhood Murderer will take M'raaj-Dar's place and sell his wares and spells at the end of the Dark Brotherhood storyline, though she will not sell the unique items that M'raaj-Dar sold.
