During Jagar Tharn's reign from 3E 389 to 3E 399, a period known as the Imperial Simulacrum, Uriel VII was held captive in a plane of Oblivion while Tharn reigned over the war-torn Empire. It is not entirely known what Jagar Tharn's goals and personal accomplishments were during his reign.

In life, he abandoned his birthright to become a master thief, and became known as Springheel Jak. He was infected with vampirism, and used his noble status to hide his undead nature for two hundred years before finally being slain in 3E 433.

Count Janus Hassildor (fl. 3E 433)[edit]

Janus Hassildor was an Imperial vampire who ruled over the county of Skingrad during the late Third Era. Most of the people in Skingrad seem to have believed that Count Hassildor was eccentric or crowd shy, as he was rarely seen in public. He was also reputed to be a very powerful wizard. His policies made him a well-respected ruler despite his private nature, with crime and public drunkenness being virtually unknown under his tenure. Although he was a vampire himself, he disliked the company of the others of his kind, claiming that they had given in to their animal urges. Indeed, other vampires were a problem for Hassildor, as they often took up residence around Skingrad. This in turn attracted many Vampire Hunters who often asked unwanted questions. Janus' wife, Rona Hassildor, was also a vampire, however not being able to come to terms with her condition thus fell into a coma. This grieved the Count and so he enlisted the help of a stranger to find a cure for his wife.

Jastyaga (fl. 1E 950)[edit]

Member of the Order of Diagna who wrote of the joining of the armies of Daggerfall and Sentinel "to hold the wicked orcs in their foul Orsinium fastness... and burn aught in cleansing flame" in 1E 950.[2]

Grandmaster Jauffre (fl. 3E 433)[edit]

Secret Grandmaster of the Blades during the Oblivion Crisis. He lived undercover as a quiet monk of the Order of Talos at Weynon Priory near Chorrol. At the onset of the Crisis, he took custody of the Amulet of Kings and instigated the search for Martin Septim, the only surviving heir to the throne. Later, the priory was sacked by the Mythic Dawn. Jauffre survived and got Martin to the safety of Cloud Ruler Temple, but lost the Amulet.[3] He helped Martin decipher the means by which to defeat Mankar Camoran, although it is unknown if he survived the remainder of the Crisis.[4]

Jeek of the River (fl. Merethic Era)[edit]

Jeek of the River was Captain of the Jorrvaskr during the Return. He and Ysgramor had grown up together, and the twenty-one Companions who composed his crew were Ysgramor's closest friends. Ysgramor himself gave him his name. He was the discoverer of the Skyforge, founder of Whiterun, and keeper of the original oath of the Companions, which was lost to time. While other crews sought glory in conquest, his was the first to settle and serve as protector for the settlers who followed them.

Queen Jezerei (fl. before 2E 582)[edit]

Queen Jezerei, also known as the Strumpet Queen, was the ruler of Hammerfell during an unknown period of history, at some point before 2E 582. While details about her reign are sparse, some accounts depict her as a ruthless leader notorious for her brutal deeds and bloody crimes. She commissioned several extravagant Diamond-Tooth Cat Combs, which were jeweled combs crafted for her.

Long after her reign,[nb 1] in 2E 582 her combs were among the curios that could be found around Tamriel during the Interregnum of the Seond Era.

During that period, High Priest Zuladr of the High Temple of Satakalaam invoked Queen Jezerei’s name in his biased sermons, aimed at disparaging women. He cited her alleged bloody crimes, referring to them alongside the Tale of the Temptress Shakhari and various feminine creatures like Hags, Harpies, and Hagravens. This account was recorded by the Unveiled Azadiyeh, Songbird of Satakalaam, a Crown historian who opposed Zuladr's views.

Gentleman Jim Stacey (fl. 3E 427)[edit]

Gentleman Jim Stacey was a Redguard who led the Thieves Guild in Morrowind in the late Third Era. Jim was a master thief himself, and is rumored to have possessed the legendary Skeleton Key. Under Jim's leadership, the Guild managed to establish itself despite resistance from older, native criminal groups, and focused on thieving only from wealthy royalty and merchants rather than the poor. Since the locals disfavored foreign organizations, he recreated the Bal Molagmer, a popular but extinct group of righteous thieves in Vvardenfell, as a subfaction of the Thieves Guild.[5] His fate is not known; while the Fighters Guild and Camonna Tong claimed to have eliminated his organization, some suspect they actually just drove it deeper underground.[6]

Mane Jinninji-ri (fl. 1E 2902)[edit]

Jinninji-ri was the Mane of the Khajiiti people during the late First Era, before the unification of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Little is known about Jinninji-ri's life. He was responsible for the installation of reflectors in the Temple of the Dance in Dune during one of the many temple refurbishings circa 1E 2902. When aligned properly and attuned to the moonlight, those reflectors were capable of projecting visions of past events.

He died at some point before the ascension of Mane Zebiden-jo in circa 2E 182. His remains are preserved in the Tomb of the Manes in Rimmen Necropolis, a huge tomb complex located southwest of the Rimmen itself. He was buried together with other prominent Manes: Zebiden-jo and Tullar-dra. His spirit's rest was briefly interrupted in 2E 582 when The Vestige escorted the remains of the ancient Khajiiti ruler Jora-ri to the burial chamber in the Tomb of the Manes.

Saint Jiub (?b - 3E 433)[edit]

Saint Jiub the Eradicator, sometimes known as Saint Jiub, Eradicator of the Winged Menace and Jiub the Magnificent, is a saint of the Tribunal Temple and the New Temple. He was canonized for driving the cliff racers from the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind. He died in 3E 433, and his soul became trapped in the Soul Cairn.

Jodoro[edit]

Jodoro is a powerful Earth Indrik and a spirit of lost nature who inhabited Systres Archipelago. He was one of the three spirits of lost nature who were rehabilitated and taken care of by the Druids of the Stonelore Circle in the Path of the Salt Wind within their sacred site of Earthen Root Enclave.

King Joile (?b - 1E 973)[edit]

Joile was the King of Daggerfall in the early-mid First Era. He is most well-known for his ambitions of conquest that led to the Siege of Orsinium, a thirty-year long conflict on the Orcish capital, Orsinium and his subsequent treachery to his Redguard allies sometime later, that latter of which led to his demise.

Queen Jolethe (fl. 3E 145)[edit]

Jolethe was a noble from the early-mid Third Era and was a member of the Septim Dynasty. She is most well-known as the Queen of Solitude after her brother Pelagius III became the Emperor of Tamriel.

Primate Jonas Coventine (fl. 2E 6th century)[edit]

Primate Jonas Coventine served as the leader of the Akatosh Chantry in Kvatch during the mid-Second Era. After hearing word of a miracle performed by a young Akatosh priest named Artorius Ancrus, Primate Jonas relocated him to his Cathedral in Kvatch as his student. The young priest rose through the ranks of the chantry, eventually becoming second only to the Primate of Kvatch himself. Around 2E 560, the relationship between the Primate and Artorius became strained and the two argued constantly. Ultimately, Artorius contracted the Dark Brotherhood to murder Jonas and took his position as the new Primate.[7][8]

Joorahmaar (Dawn Era - 2E 582)[edit]

Joorahmaar is a dragon whose name means "Mortal Hunter Terror" in the Dragon Language.

Little is known of Joorahmaar's past. In 2E 582, together with Paarbahlot, he ventured to the New Moon Fortress in Pellitine to meet with Laatvulon. During the meeting, Laatvulon promised power to both Joorahmaar and Paarbahlot, and ordered the recruits of the Order of the New Moon to offer them their power with the use of the aeonstone. The ritual was interrupted by the members of Sai Sahan's reformed Dragonguard. Following the disruption of the ritual, Paarbahlot, together with Joorahmaar, left the fortress of the New Moon Cult.

Although Paarbahlot's allegiances and status as of then were unknown, Joorahmaar was later seen assisting Laatvulon in the Dragonhold. He was ordering the cultists of the New Moon to continue to feed the ritual sites for Laatvulon. Abnur Tharn wounded the dragon and later a member of the Dragonguard killed him. As his soul was not devoured by another dovah, Joorahmaar was not killed permanently and can be raised again.

The data about the dragon Joorahmaar, documented within Hermaeus Mora's Infinite Archive was shrouded in ambiguity. Various accounts describe conflicting details about the dragon's abilities, with some stating that Joorahmaar breathed fire, while others claim that he emitted clouds of poisonous smoke.

Jorg Helmbolg (fl. early 1E)[edit]

A renowned Nordic war chief and Tongue of the First Empire of the Nords during the Conquest of Morrowind.[9] Local legends say he slew the dragon Sahloknir near Kynesgrove.[10]

Jorunn the Skald-King (2E 546 - ?d)[edit]

Jorunn the Skald-King was a Nordic High King born to Queen Mabjaarn Flame-Hair in 2E 546. The twin brother of Fildgor Strong-Prince, Jorunn grew up believing their elder sister Nurnhilde was fated to take the throne, and as such became a singer and did quite a bit of traveling while still uncrowned. He showed rare talent as a bard, highly prized among Nords, and was eventually dubbed the "Skald Prince" of Skyrim. However, his mother and sister were killed in an Akaviri invasion. He led the Nords to victory against the invaders, and took on a new life as High King of Eastern Skyrim. Jorunn's weapon of choice is his battleaxe, Suungir, a legendary item in its own right.

Imperial Battlemage Jovron Direnni (fl. 3E 2nd century)[edit]

Jovron Direnni was one of the prominent members of the influential Altmeri clan Direnni, and the Imperial Battlemage of Tamriel in service of the Empress Katariah, and the first Imperial Battlemage since the times of Tiber Septim.

Jsashe (fl. 3E 5th century)[edit]

Jsashe was a witch in the late Third Era and a self-proclaimed priestess of Lorkhan. When a series of natural disasters devastated Whiterun, many locals blamed Jsashe. But soon after, they exalted her and she was named the "Witch-Queen of Whiterun" and wielded effective control of the county. Despite that, her magic had yet to provide prosperity to the land in 3E 432.

Prince Juilek Cyrodiil (1E ?b - 1E 2920)[edit]

Son and heir of Emperor Reman III and Empress Tavia. He was assassinated in 1E 2920.[11] Before he died, he brought about an end to the Four-Score War against Morrowind and the Tribunal when his campaign against them finally succeeded in compromising their defenses, forcing them into negotiating a treaty.[12]

Jurgen Windcaller, The Calm (fl. early 1E)[edit]

Jurgen Windcaller, a Nord warrior who came to be called Jurgen the Calm, is said to have had the strongest thu'um of the First Era, possibly of all time. As a militant thu'um wielder, or "Tongue", he utilized his voice as a weapon and a way to grow in strength, like many Tongues of the time. This changed for Jurgen, however, when the Nordic armies suffered an ignominious defeat at Red Mountain. Jurgen would use the defeat as inspiration to discover the Way of the Voice and found the Greybeards, wielders of the voice who practiced fierce pacifism.

Justia Desticus (fl. 2E 432)[edit]

Justia Desticus was the original First Sword of the Order of the Hour, a position given to the chief warrior of the order. When Cavor Merula re-established the Order of the Hour in 2E 432, she stood by his side and devised the Rigors of Akatosh, eight traits to which all members of the Order must aspire. She was considered the second in devotion in Akatosh's eyes.

A statue to Justia was later made in Knightsgrave to her memory as one of the Order's founding members. Lyra Viria would later take the mantle of First Sword, and felt a connection to Justia when she traveled to Knightsgrave, curious if she would be proud of her taking up her role.
