Dulaus Vantain

Dulaus Vantain is an Imperial witchhunter who lives in Akatosh Apartments, an upper-class building in the Temple District. He is a member of the Order of the Virtuous Blood, a group of vampire hunters; he also has two spells for sale: Burst of Daylight and Turn Undead.

Dulaus wakes at 6am every morning and spends two hours getting ready for the day. At 8am, he leaves to wander the Arboretum for the morning, then goes to lunch at one of two places: on weekdays, it's The Bloated Float; on weekends, it's The All-Saints Inn. In either case, he spends two hours there, then goes to the Temple District to find potential buyers for his spells. At 4pm, he stops in at Dreg's for a few beers, then goes over to Montfort's Bakery for dinner at 6pm. He returns home after dinner and goes to bed at 10pm.

Dulaus wears a lower-class outfit, which he changes regularly, and is armed with a silver longsword; he carries a wheel of Imperial Marble Cheese, a small amount of gold, and the key to his apartment.

Dulaus' apartment is located in the building's basement. It is small and cramped; it barely has enough room for his bed, an altar with several piles of vampire dust, a bench, and a cupboard.

Dulaus is a friendly sort (as long as you're not a vampire): "Hello there! The name's Dulaus Vantain, seasoned vampire hunter!" If you ask if he's really a vampire hunter, he says: "Heh heh heh, don't let the grey hair fool you, I'm still a highly capable warrior! I've been a member of the Order of the Virtuous Blood for over forty years! Seridur founded the Order and I was one of the first to join. I've killed hundreds of vampires in my time, and I know I still have enough spark left in my old bones to kill a few hundred more!" If you are a vampire, he'll immediately attack you: "Don't think you can deceive me, creature of the night! I know who you are, and I know what you've done, I can see it in your eyes! On this day, I will make sure you never hurt another being ever again!"

Purchased Spell Notes

• The magicka cost for most purchasable spells matches the value you would calculate from the Spell Cost equation. In other words, if you were to create the same spell at the Spellmaking Altar, it would have the same magicka cost as the purchasable spell. There are a few exceptions. Spells that are a bad deal, i.e. more expensive than a custom spell, are in red; spells that are a good deal are in green. The magicka cost if you were to create a custom spell at the Spellmaking Altar is shown in parentheses.
• The magicka cost for spells is dependent upon your skill in the school (as modified by Luck, see Magic Overview). The provided baseline values are the magicka cost when your skill level is 33. For other skill levels the magicka cost can be determined from:

Cost * (1.4 - 0.012 * Skill)

• More powerful spells cost more to buy, have a higher skill requirement, and consume more Magicka.
• Level indicates what skill level you must reach (or surpass) in order to use a spell. Skill Level 0-24 = Novice, 25-49 = Apprentice, 50-74 = Journeyman, 75-99 = Expert, 100 = Master.
• The base cost in gold that you must pay to purchase a spell is always three times the current magicka cost of the spell, taking into account your character's skill level and Luck. (The actual cost you pay is further increased based on how well you haggle with the merchant.) Therefore, if you have any Fortify Skill or Fortify Luck spells/potions handy, you can get significantly better deals when purchasing spells.
