Lokir (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)

First Appearance: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Played By: ?

A Nord born horse thief and resident of the town of Rorikstead, Lokir was caught by the Imperial Legion whilst riding the stolen creature past the border, where the Legion ambushed both the Dragonborn (who was innocently crossing) and Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak and his Stormcloak rebels.

He is put on the back of the wagon with the Dragonborn, Ralof and Ulfric to be ridden to Helgen for execution.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"

Lokir curses the Stormcloaks for the fact that their presence had changed the attitude of the Empire and took away the air of "the Empire being nice and lazy" and that if the Empire had not been "looking for them" he could have escaped and rode off "halfway to Hammerfall" by then. He address the Dragonborn (who has just woken) and acknowledges the fact that they were innocent and had no reason of being there and that it was only proximity that had gotten them in the current predicament. Ralof comments that they are all "brothers and sisters in binds now"- where he keeps referring him with the nickname "Horse Thief."

Lokir ignores the orders of the Imperial Legion driving the wagon to be silent and questions what is up with Ulfric Stormcloak, who has been tied and gagged. Ralof demands him to "watch his tongue" as he declares that he was talking to  "Ulfric Stormcloak, the True High King." Lokir suddenly realises that he may be in a more dangerous predicament than he thought since they caught the leader of the "rebels" and asks fearfully where they were going. Ralof replies that he doesn't know, but predicts that "Sovenguard awaits." Lokir begins babbling about how "this can't be happening" and Ralof wonders "which village" he had come from, musing that "a Nord's last thought should be of home." Lokir replies that he came from the village of Rorikstead.

Upon their arrival to Helgen, Lokir prays to "the divines" for their aid; Akatosh, Dibella, Kynareth, Mara and Shor after hearing General Tullies tell the Imperial soldiers to get "get this over with."

Finally stopping in the tow center, he asks why they have stopped and Ralof replies rather bluntly that it was "the end of the line", adding that he "shouldn't keep the Gods waiting" and that he should "face your death with some courage." Lokir begs them that they are not rebels, but the Imperial Capain ignores his plea and orders him to step up to the execution block when he heard his name called.

When Hadvar calls his name, Lokir declares that "they can't do this." He tries to flee with the deceleration that they weren't going to kill him, but is shot and killed by an arrow from one of the Imperial Soldiers. The Captain turns from his corps and mockingly asks "if anyone else felt like running?
