Virmaril the Betrayer is a powerful Lich boss found inside Skyreach Catacombs.
In life he was an Altmer advisor to High King Durac, and friends with his daughter Princess Saradin. Durac married Saradin to Kestic, leading Virmaril to betray him. The Ra Gada were advancing upon the kingdom, and Durac and his council needed a solution. Virmaril met with them under the pretext of providing a solution. Virmaril slaughtered everyone there and enslaved them with necromancy. Nedic soul mages managed to bind him deep underground, though they had to keep watch over him from that point on.[1][2][3]
Many years later, Scaled Court members disturbed the catacombs, waking Virmaril and allowing him to take over the watchers who were assigned to keep him bound. He became powerful enough to project whispers far up into the catacombs, and raise a great number of undead. He was eventually defeated by the Vestige.
He is the author of Virmaril's Journal, which can be found near him.
