Aquillius Aeresius

Aquillius Aeresius is an Imperial in Solitude who lives in Vittoria Vici’s house – and shares her bed, despite her upcoming wedding.
“I don’t have time for anyone too lazy or cowardly to make their own way in this world.”

Aquillius Aeresius is an Imperial citizen of Solitude with ties to the East Empire Company. He is not very talkative and there is little to learn about him, except for one awkward detail: he lives in the house of Vittoria Vici and sleeps in the same bed as her, even though she is about to marry Asgeir Snow-Shod. The game never comments on it, so draw your own conclusions.

Where to find them

Inside Vittoria Vici’s House in Solitude. If Vittoria is killed during the Dark Brotherhood quest Bound Until Death, Aquillius starts showing up at the East Empire Company Warehouse, in the small hut on the left where Vittoria used to work during the day. Somebody has to keep the paperwork moving.

Personality & relationships

His one line of chatter tells you everything about his outlook: he has no patience for people too lazy or cowardly to make their own way in the world. Expect a brush-off rather than a conversation.
