Deeja is an Argonian assassin and co-leader of the Blackblood Marauders, a criminal gang she runs with her brother Jaree-Ra. They operate from the docks of the East Empire Company Warehouse near Solitude.
Where to find them
On the warehouse docks next to her brother. Later in Lights Out! she waits for you inside the Wreck of the Icerunner.
Quests
Lights Out! – Jaree-Ra persuades you to put out the fire in the Solitude Lighthouse in exchange for a share of the loot. When he sends you to Deeja to collect, she explains that the loot has already been moved and that your only reward for being useful to the Blackbloods is a quick death. You’ll have to fight her, and once she’s down you can take the Note from Jaree-Ra from her body to continue the quest. She is essential until this point, so you can’t settle things early.
Personality & relationships
Deeja is hostile and unsociable. Before Lights Out! every attempt at conversation gets you sent to her ‘egg-brother’, and if you keep trying, the threats about knives in bellies follow. She shoos away Greta when the girl asks for work. When Jaree-Ra and Gulum-Ei discuss stealing Hammerfell steel from an incoming ship, Deeja asks why they should settle for part of the cargo when they could take the whole thing. Jaree-Ra keeps telling her to be patient.
Good to know
- According to the Creation Kit, Gulum-Ei is her brother as well.
- Killing her with the Ebony Blade counts as killing a friend.
- If she dies at the bottom of the ship, her body sometimes can’t be searched, which locks you out of the note. Reloading a save fixes it.
