Spindleclutch I
He can be found tied up in a cocoon, next to the exit, in the room with the Whisperer.
:"It was a nightmare! A nightmare!
:Praxin and his squad succumbed to the whispers. (During Deadly Whispers)
:"I feel so... violated. What that thing did to my soldiers... what it did to me! I may never sleep soundly again. Thank you. If you hadn't come along... well, I don't want to even imagine.

:''"Now that you've given me back my life, I have much to think about.  Maybe I'll take some time to rest before I put together another expedition. The Fighters Guild is in your debt, my friend."

Otherwise this will be asked:
:What was that thing?
::"A monster! No doubt some vial beast from the darkest reaches of Oblivion!  I can't imagine how it got here. And I have no idea why it would do such things to our soldiers."

Spindleclutch II
When you return to the Spindleclutch caves, you can find Sud-Hareem fighting off a Thralled Warrior. Once they are dead, Guardian Sud-Hareem can be spoken to.
:"I remember you! You helped us on our last visit to this evil place. Thank the Divines you returned! I need your help. It's my son."''
Or if you haven't done Spindleclutch I, he'll say:
:"You! You have to help me! You have to help me find my son."
Either lead to the same question:
:'''What's going on?
:"My friends and I have been using these caves as a makeshift base. I thought we were safe here. I'd left to check in with superiors in the Fighters Guild. I returned to find the caves overrun with bandits, and my friends missing."
:And your son?
:"My son, At'avar was one of those I left here, My friends Falour and Mereel can take care of themselves, but At'avar is still young. I have to make sure he's all right, and I cannot make it through these bandits on my own. Please, will you help me?"
:Let's go.

Sud-Hareem will run ahead, until he finds, Mereel. He will then question Mereel about what happened.
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "Over there! It's Mereel!"
:Mereel: "Sud-Hareem? I thought you were dead. They came in the night. Overwhelmed us."
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "Who did this? Where's At'avar?"
:Mereel: "I don't know. At'avar and Faulor ran farther in when we were attacked."
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "At'avar! Where are you?"

The Blood Spawn then leaps down and attacks the group. Once it is destroyed, Sud-Hareem wil come to a conclusion.
:Mereel: "Holy Divines, look at the size of that thing!"
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "First the blood fiend, now a gargoyle. That settles it. Vampires."
:Mereel: "Vampires? You think they know what they're dealing with?"
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "If not, they're in for a painful lesson."

There is now an opportunity to ask him questions:
:"If anything happened to At'avar …."
::Why would you live in these ruins?
::"My friends and I are monster hunters. We specialize in killing unnatural creatures. Werewolves, Daedra, and so on. We prefer operating in out-of-the-way locations. Spindleclutch is close to Daggerfall, while offering us the privacy we need."
::We defeated the evil here. Did something happen after I left?
::"The Whisperer was dead. The Guild pulled out because the ruins hold no tactical value. Most of us would like to forget everything that happened here. We lost a lot of good people."
:::I saved as many as I could.
:::"And we're grateful. Without you, none of us would have survived. Now, it seems I'll be in   debt, twice-over."

Further in the caverns, Sud-Hareem will come across the spirit of Praxin Douare who seems confused about what is happening.
:Praxin Douare "Sud-Hareem! You've escaped!"
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "Yes, Praxin. The Whisperer is gone."
:Praxin Douare "No. You can't be real. I was going to rescue you. And then I heard her voice."
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "It's over, Praxin. You can rest now."
:Mereel: "Boss, I don't think he's listening."
:Praxin Douare: "You aren't real. You're one of her illusions. I won't let you stop us!"
:Mereel: "Why is nothing ever easy?"
:Praxin Douare: "Join my nightmare."

After Praxin is killed:
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "Rest well, Praxin. You cheated at cards, but you didn't deserve this." [A noise can be heard elsewhere in the room.]
:"Did you hear that?"
:"There's someone alive over here!" 
: 
:"Help me get this cocoon open." 
: 
:"Faulor? Can you hear me?"
:Faulor: "Boss? They have At'avar. Their leader took him farther in the ruins. Nasty looking bloodsucker."
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "I don't care how nasty their leader is. We're smashing in every vampire head we see until I get my son back. You in?"
:Faulor: "How can I say no to a plan like that?"''

After Urvan Veleth is defeated, the fighters guild group will rush into the vampire's lair:
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: ''"At'avar! Where are you?"
:Faulor: "I don't like this."'' 
: 
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: ''"At'avar! Wake up! Wake up!"
:Mereel: "Have to agree with the elf, boss. There's some serious magic here. This place screams 'ambush'."
: 
:Vorenor Winterbourne: "Ambush. What a lovely idea."

Once Vorenor Winterbourne is dead, you can speak with Sud-Hareem:
:"Why isn't … why isn't he breathing? Oh gods, we're too late."
:What do you mean too late?
:"I mean too late! He's been infected too long. I've seen it before. Soon he'll be one of them. A vampire. 
:''I … I have to stop this. I have to stop him from coming back. Don't I?"''
 
thumb|right|Sud-Hareem prays to Stendarr for his son to be cured
If you advised Sud-Hareem to give his son a chance, he will pray to Stendarr for the first time in his life.
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: "Merciful Stendarr, hear my prayer. I've never prayed to the Divines before. Even when my wife … even when you took my wife, I accepted it as fate. But At'avar, how can I accept that?"
:"If anyone deserves your mercy, it is At'avar. Please, Stendarr, free him from this curse. Bring me back my son."''

If you advised Sud-Hareem to mercy kill At'avar:
:Guardian Sud-Hareem: ''"Farewell, my son. Tell your mother I'm sorry."''
