The museum curator, and is the one who greets you and gives you a tour of the museum when you first enter.

Appearance

Auryen Morellus is a Altmer historian and the main curator of the Dragonborn Gallery. After years of research on relics and historics, he found that many great relics of Tamriel somehow gravitated to Skyrim. Assuming that the energies within these ancient relics sense the impending crisis, he bought the old Macnarian Hall next to the Blue Palace of Solitude and rebuilt it as a museum to display all of his research. He requests his old associate Professor Patero Marassi to become his relic hunter, but his offer gets declined due to the dangerous nature of the job. In his search for a replacement, he stumbles upon the Last Dragonborn, who accepts his offer and agrees to store all his gathered relics in the museum.

After significant progress has been made, Auryen decides to found a Explorer's Society to perform excavations on their own. Due to the more peaceful nature of these excavations compared to relic hunting, Marassi eventually agrees to become his chief of archaeology. Others join his guild and the Dragonborn gets appointed guildmaster.

Past life

Little is known about what Auryen did before the events in Legacy of the Dragonborn, apart from him studying history. He met Professor Patero Marassi at the Gwylim University in High Rock some 300 years ago. His exact age is unknown. The surname Morellus is not recorded in Tamriel history and can therefor not be used as an indication.
