The Hound

The Hound, formerly known as Ulthorn, is a Bosmer follower of Hircine and leader of the Houndsmen. He is the primary antagonist of the Malabal Tor questline. He is also allies with the Wood Orc clans of Dra'bul and Jathsogur, and is responsible for most of the chaos shrouding the region.
When speaking to his associates, he chooses to project himself in the form of a spectral wolf.
==History==
The Hound was originally known as "Ulthorn," and was a close friend of Gwaering, the future Green Lady. He later became a devout follower of Hircine and formed the Houndsman. In 2E 582, he allied with the Wood Orcs and captured the Green Lady in Dra'bul. He spoke to the Vestige, disguised as a Drublog Clan member, whom he gave his plans to. They rescued the Green Lady, foiling the Hound's plan temporarily.
Later on, Gwaering traveled to Silvenar and attempted to save Ulthorn from progressing on his dangerous path. However, he tricked her with Hircine's word wrapped as his, and took control over Gwaering. He attempted to marry her, but was killed by the Vestige for treason, and his union to the Green Lady was stopped.
==Interactions==
===Reap What is Sown===
After re-casting a ritual, a spectral form of the Hound will appear saying "Why do you disturb me?". As the Vestige is disguised as a Drublog, the Hound will tell them his plan.
===Restore the Silvenar===
In the Silvenar's Audience Hall, the Green Lady, under the control of The Hound, is casting a spell. After she detects the Vestige, the following conversation occurs:
The Green Lady: "How dare you threaten us? The Hound is my true consort! You will not interfere!"
The Hound: "I'm here, Gwaering! No one can stop our union now!"
The Silvenar: "Green Lady! Remember the Green Pact! Come to me!"
The Hound: "No! We belong together!"
The Silvenar: <Begins to remove the Hound's influence on Gwearing>
The Hound: "No! By Hircine's might, no!"
The Silvenar: <Cures a Werewolf> "Return to the Pact, loyal hunter!"
The Hound: "What've you done? My minions! They're useless now!"
Once the Vestige has killed the Hound, the werewolves will stop spawning and the Green Lady will be herself once again.
===A Tale Forever Told===
The Hound has infiltrated Spinner Indraseth's tale and is using her to drive The Silvenar and The Green Lady apart.
==Dialogue==
;Reap what is Sown:
Under the guise of a Drublog warrior, the Vestige may speak to the Hound's projection:
"You have your orders, Drublog. Why do you disturb me? Has something gone wrong?"
Can you go over the plan again? "The Green Lady must be detained until my arrival. I've given the materials you need for her bindings. She is not to be harmed, else your tribe will pay in blood. Velyn Harbor is but the first gift. The conquest of a hundred cities await, if my will is done."
I understand. "Then begone. I have many things to prepare in Silvenar before I can return to Dra'bul. See that no one interferes with the ritual. The Green Lady must not escape."
;A Tale Forever Told
"The quarry faces the hunter at last. You won't stop me from claiming my prize!"
:Where is Spinner Indraseth? "She is my puppet, just like all the other creatures in this story. Her weaknesses allowed me to enter. You can't thwart me. You know nothing of the spinners and the power they wield!"
::Who are you? "You may know me by my Daedric title, but for now, I play the part of the Hound. I created a wedge between the Silvenar and the Green Lady. The Hound is a convenient scapegoat for my invention."
:::Why are you changing the spinners' story?
==Conversations==
;Reap What Is Sown
Roku: "Are you hurt, Elf?"
Shaman Glazulg: "Roku! Stay back!"
The Hound: "Though I am in Silvenar's city, I have power. Chieftain, cut them down!"
Chieftain Agrakh: "I warned you, Roku! You chose to stand against your people!""
Shaman Glazulg: "No! Brother! Stay your hand!"
<Chieftain Agrakh slays Roku>
Shaman Glazulg: "My daughter! This is not loyalty. You're this hound's pet!"
<The Green Lady wakes up>
The Green Lady: "Chieftain Agrakh. You have much to answer for. The Hound … I know who he truly is. It does not bode well."
;Restore the Silvenar
The Green Lady: "How dare you threaten us? The Hound is my true consort! You will not interfere!"
The Hound: "I'm here, Gwaering! No one can stop our union now!"
The Silvenar: "Green Lady! Remember the Green Pact! Come to me!"
The Hound: "No! We belong together!"
The Silvenar: <Begins to remove the Hound's influence on Gwearing>
The Hound: "No! By Hircine's might, no!"
The Silvenar: <Cures a Werewolf> "Return to the Pact, loyal hunter!"
The Hound: "What've you done? My minions! They're useless now!"
;The Ties That Bind
After the first barrier:
Gwaering: "Of course, Ulthorn! It's a beautiful first kill!"
Ulthorn: "Then you'll …."
Gwaering: "How could I not? But … the spinners have summoned me. I must go to Silvenar."
After the second barrier:
Ulthorn: "The Green Lady? But that's impossible!"
Gwaering: "If the spinners say I am, then I must be. We … we weren't meant to be."
Ulthorn: "No! You must refuse. Gwaering, we will not be torn apart like this!"
Gwaering: "Ulthorn, please. My part in this story is … over."
Ulthorn: "Then the story is wrong!"
After the third barrier:
Gwaering: "You shouldn't have come, Ulthorn."
Ulthorn: "They fear him, Gwaering! With Hircine's aid, we could â€¦."
Gwaering: "The Daedric Prince? I won't hear any more. If you think I'd turn against my people, you're mad."
Ulthorn: "I don't care what it takes. Gwaering, I won't let this die. I'll do anything for you!"
Gwaering: "Anything? Then stop! My duty is to my people. I will protect them from any threat. Even you!"
Ulthorn: "Gwaering …."
Gwaering: "Take back the amulet, Ulthorn. Take it, and remember what we once were."
Ulthorn: "This isn't over. This is not the end!"
