Oblivion:Borissean

Borissean, a Redguard mage, is a Wizard of the Mages Guild who sells spells at the Arcane University. He and his associate, Gaspar Stegine are widely considered as the most powerful mages in Cyrodiil, since most of their spells are unique and Master-level.

He has a very simple schedule: he sleeps from 2am to 9am in the upper floor of the University's Praxographical Center and then heads downstairs where he spends the rest of the day standing still on the north edge of the Mages Guild symbol in the center of the floor, offering his spells for sale. The only change to this schedule is during the Light the Dragonfires quest, when he and all other Imperial City residents are confined indoors.

He wears upper-class attire consisting of a black & burgundy outfit and a pair of gold trimmed shoes. His only other possession is a leveled amount of gold. He doesn't wield any weapons, relying instead on a set of higher level spells from all of the magical schools. These are also the same spells that you can buy cheaply off him, since his Mercantile is a mere 13. He will always offer his services when not sleeping.

The first time you meet him, Borissean will greet you by saying: "Borissean. Master Spellmaker for the Mages Guild. Guildsmen, only, of course." When you ask him about the Imperial City, he will reveal that he's quite unsocial and prefers his life in the University: ''"What? There's a city out there? You don't say. What good is it, eh? Dirt. Horses. Idiots. Be my guest." He will also give you a bit of background on himself and his partner, Gaspar Stegine: "Gaspar and I have learned a great many spells over the years. Once you've learned them, you can use the knowledge to create your own."''

Other spellcasters support Borissean's high opinion of himself. Vigge the Cautious in Skingrad will tell you that: ''"Between the two of them, Borissean and Gaspar have mastered nearly every type of spell there is. You'd be wise to go see them if you can", while Trayvond the Redguard in the Cheydinhal guild hall will say: "If you're looking for the most powerful spells, you'll want to speak to Borissean at the Arcane University. If you're allowed in, that is."
