Sanguine Sanguine ( in Daedric script , ) is the Daedric Prince of debauchery . He also has domain over the darker natures of man , such as lust , sin , sloth , gluttony , and greed . He is the patron deity of sinners and is often seen with a bottle of wine or beer ( ale ) in his hand . Sanguine enjoys playing pranks on others , one such example being a spell that removes the clothing of everyone within the spell ' s radius . Although a joker , Sanguine prefers to drag mortals down to sinful lifestyles by means of temptation and humiliation . History . Sanguine was once asked by Mephala for twenty - seven tokens to give to her devoted followers . The Dark Brotherhood stole these tokens from the Morag Tong . According to Morag Tong members , Mephala eventually arranged for them to return to the guild . The Nerevarine systematically killed the members of the Dark Brotherhood one - by - one and retrieved the tokens from them . Oblivion . Sanguine can be called upon at the Shrine of Sanguine , whose name does not fit the common pattern of " ( Daedra Prince ) ' s Shrine . " The summoning date of Sanguine is 16th of Sun ' s Dawn . Sanguine can also be summoned in his shrine , if the summoner offered Cyrodilic Brandy . There is a shrine in Cyrodiil which bears the appearance of Sanguine . Upon completing the related quest , Sanguine will give the Sanguine Rose , a strange staff shaped like a twisted and thorny black rose . When the energy within the Sanguine Rose is cast at a target , one random Daedric servant of Sanguine is summoned to do battle . This staff has very little charge , between 10 – 30 uses , depending on Conjuration skill level , and must be recharged often . When the Hero of Kvatch visited the Shrine of Sanguine and summoned him , sometime during the Oblivion Crisis , Sanguine tasked the Hero of Kvatch to join the royal dinner party of the Countess of Leyawiin , Alessia Caro . Sanguine believed that the Countess of Leyawiin was too stuffy , and wanted the hero to do something about it . The hero should sneak into the castle undetected and cast the spell of Stark Reality on her and her guests . When the hero cast the spell all the guests and the Countess herself were stripped , it brought chaos to the party , but Sanguine was pleased . When the hero returned to the shrine , Sanguine rewarded his Sanguine Rose to the hero of Kvatch , a staff that has the capability to summon a lesser Daedra to " supposedly " fight for the wielder of the staff . The same artifact was also rewarded some decades before to the Hero of Daggerfall , and also to Martin , the last of the Septims . Martin in his youth was one of the followers of a Daedric Cult , and he somehow retrieved Sanguine ' s Rose - probably after some odd task . Skyrim . Sanguine appears in Skyrim disguised as Sam Guevenne , who offers a friendly drinking competition with his " special " brew for his staff with the Dragonborn . If the Dragonborn accepts , the quest " A Night to Remember " will start . After the Dragonborn accepts and drinks three mugs , Sam , impressed , will give the staff and offers to show the Dragonborn a place " where the wine flows like water . " After that , they go out to commit drunken pranks in Skyrim , and eventually the Dragonborn awakes at the temple of Dibella and sets out to correct the pranks pulled while drunk . The Dragonborn then heads to Morvunskar where a portal to Sam ' s location is found . Going through the portal reveals Sam in the Misty Grove , where he reveals his true identity as Sanguine , commenting that he hadn ' t had that much fun in a hundred years and rewards the Dragonborn with his staff . It is possible to turn Sanguine hostile by commanding a follower to attack him . However , arrows , melee weapons , and spells will still continue to pass through him and he cannot be damaged . Sanguine will simply attack repeatedly for very meager damage with what appears to be a dagger of some sort . This will at least yield a few more lines of dialogue while he attacks .
