Oblivion:Breton

Bretons are the human descendants of the Aldmeri-Nedic Manmer of the Merethic Era and are now the inhabitants of the province of  . They are united in culture and language, even though they are divided politically, for High Rock is a fractious region. Bretons make up the peasantry, soldiery, and magical elite of the feudal kingdoms that compete for power. Many are capable mages with innate resistance to magicka. They are known for a proficiency in abstract thinking and unique customs. Bretons appear, by and large, much like other pale-skinned humans. They are usually slight of build and not as muscular as Nords or Redguards. The great diversity in their appearance is to be expected from their politically fractured society, though their clothes, accents, customs and names are fairly uniform. 

A list of all the Bretons in Cyrodiil can be found here.

In-Game Description
In addition to their quick and perceptive grasp of spellcraft, even the humblest of Bretons can boast a resistance to magical energies. They are particularly skilled at summoning and healing magic.

Gameplay
Bretons are particularly skilled in Mysticism, Restoration, and Conjuration, which means they are natural defensive mages. They are resistant to magic, making them exceptionally useful against other magic users. Attention to Alteration might be useful against enemies who fight Hand To Hand or with weapons. It should be noted that Bretons do not have any bonuses to Destruction magic, giving the player a fairer choice between using offensive magic or weapons.  Although they are not as skilled as the Altmer (High Elves) in the arcane arts, they may prove useful if fighting other mages. Their Dragon Skin greater power is especially powerful early on in the game and it remains useful even to high level players later on. 

Enemy Bretons will most frequently be encountered as Conjurers (including Conjurer Adepts) and Necromancers (including Necromancer Adepts) in Cyrodiil, as well as Heretics and Zealots in the Shivering Isles.  All Bandit Hedge Wizards are also Bretons. Among the vampires, the Agents, Mages, and Spellswords are Bretons. All of these Breton wizards generally dress in robes (sometimes enchanted) rather than armor, and attack their opponents with lightweight weapons (daggers, shortswords, or maces) or staves.

Notes
Some Breton dialogue voiced by Wes Johnson is included in the game files, and can be heard if certain Breton NPCs' races (or the voice type for the male Breton race) are switched to Imperial (i.e. via a mod). This could be an indication that Johnson was intended to voice both the Breton and Imperial males, in a similar manner to Catherine Flye voicing both female Bretons and Imperials.
