Online:Rakazsa

Rakazsa is a Khajiit vampire found in the Weeping Scar. He is the current leader of the Tenarr Zalviit clan, after the previous Clan Mother was killed by necromancers. In response to his predecessor's perceived weaknesses, his leadership has lead the clan in a more predatory direction, which his exiled blood-sister Yushiha disagrees with.

Weeping Scar
As you approach the Weeping Scar, you'll come across two Khajiit arguing:
:Yushiha: ''"Get back, Rakazsa! I won't let you have this one."
:Rakazsa: "Hah. Your blood is too thin. Keep that one as a gift, Yushiha, for when you're ready to drink."''

Rakazsa will then disappear. After you have spoken with Yushiha and agree to search the canyon for survivors, you can encounter Rakazsa in the wreckage of one of the camps. However, he won't try to fight you at that time:
:Rakazsa: "So a tiger walks among the cattle. You were with Yushiha, yes?"

When you talk with him, Rakazsa will explain his side of the story:
:"Did my blood-sister beg you to hunt me, walker? Has she grown too weak to do it herself?"
:'''Yushiha told me how you're driving her clan to violence.
If the player is a vampire, he will instead say:
:"Did you drink from my disgrace of a blood-sister, walker? If so, you must be thirsty still!"
:I didn't feed on your sister, but she did tell me how you're driving her clan to violence.
:"My clan, walker, and she has no place in it until she drinks as she was meant to. She can live like vermin if she chooses, but my clan will never return to that life."
:What's so bad about the way you used to live?
:"Everything! Our lives were spent hiding away in tombs, gnawing on rats to keep the hunger at bay. Day after day, year after year, with no end in sight. All to keep us safe, but that was a lie. It only made us easy pickings."
:What do you mean?
:"There are predators and there are prey. Our Clan Mother chose to live like prey and she died like prey, but we are vampires! We thrive on the hunt! If she had embraced our true nature she'd still be alive today. Which will you be, walker?"
:I won't be your next victim.

If the player is a vampire he will instead say:
:"You know the thirst. How it claws at your insides every waking moment. Our Clan Mother poured every drop of her strength into fighting it and left nothing for our real enemies. She lived like prey and died like prey. Would you choose the same?
:'''I'm no slave to my thirst.

Yushiha will appear behind you:
:Yushiha: "Do not listen to his sweet talk!"
:Rakazsa: "Your claws are dull, as always, Yushiha. Remember what I said, walker."''

Tenarr Zalviit Ossuary
Free the prisoners inside the Tenarr Zalviit Ossuary and you'll eventually come across the feuding family members:
:Yushiha: "Rakazsa! I warned you retribution would come if you hunted Khajiit as prey! Step down and our clan might yet be redeemed!"
:Rakazsa: ''"It's you who led this hunter to our den, Yushiha, not me. Unlike our Clan Mother, I am prepared for our enemies. Hunt me if you dare."
Rakazsa then leaves.
:Yushiha: "Rakazsa! Rakazsa!"''

 
You can track him down to his den, when he can be found reading from his library, he may be overheard saying:
:Rakazsa: "I tried to read that book. The covers were too far apart." if he is undisturbed.

Once you engage him, he will be ready to fight:
:Rakazsa: "I look forward to tasting hearty blood!"

As he is defeated, he will remain unrepentant:
:Rakazsa: "I die with my pride!"
:Yushiha: "Rakazsa, you damned fool … come, we should get back to the caravan survivors. This way."
