Cuhlecain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuhlecain was a King and later Emperor (Born CE ?? - CE 854) in the fictional world of the Elder Scrolls video game series. Little is known of him but he was a petty king in the Colovian states. He used the military talent of the Great General Talos to command his army. After a year of consolidating power in Cyrodiil he finally recaptured the capital of the Second Empire, the Imperial City. Shortly after this, General Talos was sent out to prevent an attack from High Rock and Skyrim (both areas that hated the idea of another Empire). Talos fought the two allied armies at the Battle of Sancre Tor, when he met the Nordic forces Talos used his skills with the thu'um, a magical warcry highly respected among the Nords, to convert the Skyrim army to his side. The army of High Rock was soon defeated. Unfortunately for the new Empire, a nightblade assassinated Emperor Cuhlecain in CE 854, and left the Palace in ruins. The assassin also slit the throat of Talos, which caused him to never again be able to use his thu'um. Cuhlecain was later honored by the Septim Empire as Emperor Zero.
