"I don't have much of a reputation in Skyrim yet, but I'm working on that, one sweet lady at a time. Haha!"

―Mikael^[src]

Mikael is a bard in Whiterun. Located inside The Bannered Mare, he sings or plays his lute upon request. In a quest, Carlotta Valentia asks the Dragonborn to talk to him about leaving her alone. He can be persuaded, paid-off, or brawled. After he is convinced to leave her alone, Carlotta presents a reward.

He has great respect for the Dragonborn, and dedicates the song Tale of the Tongues to them before playing it.
