Beragon is a Wood Elf scribe and former adventurer, as well as Eveli Sharp-Arrow's older brother. He has some skill with deciphering codes and documents and is who Eveli contacts once you find a coded letter within the Ne Salas Cache Annex. In the past he worked as a scribe for both Emperor Moricar and Leovic of the Longhouse Dynasty in Cyrodiil, which gives him some insight into matters.

Blackwood Prologue
A Mortal's Touch
After finding an   and   in the hidden Cache Annex, you can bring them both to Beragon at his camp. After Eveli introduces you, you can speak to him and Beragon will decipher the document as you talk.
:"Eveli says you have something for me to look at?"
:'''Yes, but it's written in code. Can you decipher it?
:"Let me take a look. Hmm. Imperial, all right. Specifically, this is Emperor Leovic's personal code. Luckily, I know it well. Unfortunately, I don't have Leovic's signet ring. Without that, I can't decipher the code."
:Here. We found this ring alongside the scroll.
:"You have a signet ring? Why, yes, this does appear to be Emperor Leovic's. At least, it's one of them. He certainly loved his jewelry! So, first that journal that Eveli brought me and now this. What have you and my sister gotten into this time?"
:Eveli is your sister?
:"My younger sister, yes. I used to regale her with stories of my adventures, back before I became a scribe in Emperor Moricar's court. I worked for both him and his son, Leovic. Eveli says I sling words the way she looses arrows—fast and on target."
:You were an adventurer and a scribe?
:"Technically, I was an adventurer then a scribe. Turned out, I preferred ink and parchment to danger and derring-do. Unfortunately, I think I put the wrong ideas in little Eveli's head. Anyway, the scroll's over there. Deciphered and everything."


Talking to Beragon before reading the Deciphered Imperial Document:
:"I left the deciphered document right over there. Just try not to let my sister get into too much trouble, all right?"

When you read the document it mentions a Daedric bargain and Mehrunes Dagon, along with the name Farrul Lupus. Speaking with Beragon afterwards, he will just call the contents interesting:
:"An interesting document. I'm not sure what these Ambitions that Emperor Leovic mentions might be, but it appears he shared the secret with his personal steward, Farrul Lupus. I hope I don't have to tell you how dangerous Longhouse secrets can be."
:What's it like to have Eveli as a sister?
:"I was away during most of her life. I did the whole adventure thing for a time, exploring the world and taking on lost causes. Then I went to serve the Empire. I would come home to visit whenever I could get away. She loved to hear my stories."
:She seems to yearn for adventure, too.
:"I suppose my stories influenced her. And the books. I brought her books from across Tamriel, especially tales of heroes. She loved those. Still does. Anyway, she's the best archer I've ever seen. As natural with a bow as bark on a tree."
:So you don't mind that she's looking into the secrets of the Longhouse Emperors?
:"Eveli's an adult. She doesn't need my permission to get into trouble. She's good at that. And she's good at getting out of it, too. Do I worry? Of course. But I can't tell her to go home. I did the exact same thing at her age. Plus, she's got you."''

The Emperor's Secret
After you have shown the Eveli the contents of the deciphered scroll, she will tell you that the aforementioned Farrul Lupus was the name of the party that hired her to recover a particular book from Black Drake Villa. She then asks you to come with her to Riften as back up when she delivers the book. After you agree to help, you can talk to Beragon abiut the book she found.
:''"Eveli is as brave as the graht-oak is tall, but someone else will be interested in this secret. Someone dangerous, most likely. You'll need to be careful for the both of you, because my sister doesn't know the meaning of that word."
:Can you tell me anything about the book Eveli found at Black Drake Villa?
:"What? The creepy book with the weird writing? Nope. Not a thing. I took one look at it and gave it right back to her. It's … not good. I told her to find a deep hole to toss it into, but my sister has never been good at taking advice."
:You must have some idea what it is to have such a strong reaction.
:"I deal in codes and ancient languages, not arcane tomes and Daedric artifacts. I'll tell you exactly what I told Eveli. I don't know what that book is and I don't want to know. If you have any sense, you'll tell her the same."''

While in Riften, you find Farrul Lupus was killed by the Dark Brotherhood and Lyranth tracks you down with another Cache Annex location. You and Eveli's investigation of the Annex in the Imperial City Sewers leads you to follow Doombringer Eshil through a portal into the Deadlands. After witnessing the conversation between the cultist and Mehrunes Dagon, you are sent back to Beragon's camp on Nirn after you defeat Eshil. Speaking with Beragon, he decides he won't question it.
:''"I'm just going to ignore the fact that you and my sister stepped out of a tear in space and that a Dremora wants to talk to you. Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do."''

After you speak with Lyranth, Beragon tells you he's staying out of it.
:''"I'm sure that you and my sister have a really interesting story to tell. I'm just not sure I want to hear it. Secrets of the Longhouse Emperors, Daedra, strange books … I gave up the life of an adventurer to avoid those kinds of complications."''

After completing the prologue, speak to him again and he'll say:
:"I keep up with events in Cyrodiil. A habit from my days serving as a scribe in the court of the Longhouse Emperors. I can give Eveli a letter of introduction. Make it easier for her to approach Councilor Lovidicus and the others."

An Unexpected Adversary
After A Deadly Secret is completed, Councilor Lovidicus mentions he has sent word to Beragon to come to Leyawiin to decode the documents you collected. In the meanwhile, you and Eveli are sent to Bloodrun Cave to investigate the Dark Brotherhood. However, you quickly learn that the Waking Flame used the Brotherhood as a scapegoat for the murders and that they have planned an attack on Leyawiin Castle:

While you and Eveli race to find Lovidicus after witnessing Councilor Faleria's murder by Vandacia, you come across Beragon hovering over a body:
:Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "Brother! When did you get here, Beragon?"
:Beragon: "I came as soon as word arrived from Councilor Lovidicus. I was with him when the cultists attacked, but we got separated."
:Eveli Sharp-Arrow: "We have to find Lovidicus! Come with us, brother. We need to stick together."

Beragon will become your follower and you can ask him some questions, though he can't go into detail at the time:


When you enter the courtyard, you will find Vandacia holding Councilor Lovidicus by the neck with a chain of red magic, choking him. Vandacia utters a prayer to Dagon and summons the Disciple of Aspiration before teleporting away. While you and Eveli fight the Ruinarch, Beragon will race over to Lovidicus and begin healing him. Once you have slain the daedra, Captain Rian and the Ivory Brigade will burst through the gate. Then the councilor is lead outside, with Beragon following.

Once outside the castle gates, Beragon will be reading a document while Eveli looks over his shoulder. He then calls you over:
:Beragon: "Friend of my sister, come speak with me."



You can continue talking to him before speaking to Lovidicus:


When you have spoken with Councilor Lovidicus, he will suggest you reach out to Keshu the Black Fin in Gideon. Beragon agrees and asks you to look out for his sister:
:"Councilor Lovidicus's suggestion is wise. If not Governor Keshu, someone in Gideon should know where to find the ojel-bak. If it's actually a place, that is. Just make sure you watch out for my sister. Eveli is good, but she's still learning."
:It's good to see you again, Beragon. (Conversation Repeats)

Heroes of Blackwood
Beragon will appear at the celebrations, drinking from a mug, you can talk to him:
:"What a great party! I must ask a favor, though. Please don't let my sister drink too much. She has no tolerance and gets tipsy rather easily. What am I saying! She gets drunk and it's rather amusing. Maybe it's better if you let her indulge."

After completing the quest:
:"Councilor Lovidcus's suggestion is wise. If not Governor Keshu, someone in Gideon should know where to find the ojel-bak. If it's actually a place, that is. Just make sure you watch out for my sister. Eveli is good, but she's still learning."''
