Baurus
From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion
Baurus is a member of the Blades, and the only survivor (other than yourself) of the Mythic Dawn's attack on the Emperor. He is a Redguard.
After the Emperor's death, Baurus tells you how to find Jauffre at Weynon Priory, starting the Deliver the Amulet quest. Baurus does not appear again until Path of Dawn.
As part of the Path of Dawn, you meet him in the Imperial City at Luther Broad's Boarding House, where you will help assist him in stopping an assassin from the Mythic Dawn. After searching the body of the assassin and finding the first three Mythic Dawn Commentaries, he will assist you in tracking down the Mythic Dawn and help you get the fourth book during the Main Quest.
If he survives, he will return to Cloud Ruler Temple where, if you speak to him, he will improve your Blade, Block and Heavy Armor skills to the beginning of the next level as a way of thanking you for your assistance.
It is possible for Baurus to die during the Path of Dawn and in the Defense of Bruma. If this happens, the storyline continues unabated.
- Note: If Baurus dies during the Path of Dawn quest, take his sword and talk to Jauffre. He will put the sword on display in the chapel.
