Orchendor is a mage encountered in the quest The Only Cure and has taken up residence in Bthardamz. He is also mentioned in the Afflicted's Note found in the upper portion of Bthardamz.

Quest

Orchendor was a priest of Peryite, aiding him in spreading disease and creating the Afflicted. He eventually decided to cease working for the Daedric Prince, which prompted Peryite to seek the Dragonborn's help in ridding Nirn of the unfaithful priest. He resides deep within Bthardamz.

Tactics

Orchendor utilizes standard Destruction spells, favoring frost, and has a great deal of staying power. When cornered or sufficiently injured, he will teleport (becoming temporarily invulnerable) to a nearby space or even to another tier of the same room. In addition, Orchendor is completely immune to fire, frost, and shock spells, as well as absorption effects; physical weapons are recommended.

He is immune to Ice Form, which would stop him from teleporting all over the room. Also he can kill Attronachs very quickly, but could be advantageous to gain some resting time. Summon Arniel's Shade becomes very useful in this situation

If the player can make use of the Dead Thrall spell, Orchendor is an excellent reanimation candidate and one of a few very powerful Thrall options.

If its impossible to beat him conventionally due to your build as a destruction mage, simply lead him back through the dungeon until you reach the Study area where you can kill him using the floor traps. This is assuming you can dodge his attacks and/or heal continuously as you run back through 2 entire areas, which takes 2-3 min.

Bugs

PC If Orchendor is one of your Dead Thralls, casting Call to Arms will cause him to go hostile on you (not verified).
