Ravate

Ravate is a wizard who took part in a "contest of wills" with the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath.
==Biography==
Ravate sought out Sheogorath, "the most capricious of the Daedric Princes," in order to win his favor. When he finally met the Prince, he spoke humbly and offered to drive a thousand men mad in exchange for greater magical power. Sheogorath was in an agreeable mood. He proposed a counteroffer, or as he called it, a "game," during which Ravate must maintain his sanity for three days while Sheogorath does his best to drive the wizard insane. If Ravate survived, Sheogorath would grant him his wish.Myths of Sheogorath
Though Sheogorath found the idea of the game fun, Ravate felt less so. When he attempted to flee, Sheogorath denied him and trapped the wizard within his realm, the Shivering Isles, blocking off all exits. Ravate had no choice but to wander the realm, spending each moment looking over his shoulder and jumping at every noise. Each moment brought new terror as he waited for Sheogorath to begin.
After three days, Sheogorath appeared to Ravate. By then, he was convinced every creature was out to get him at the whims of Sheogorath. Sheogorath, however, revealed he had, in fact, done nothing, and that Ravate had driven himself mad with his delusions. Therefore, Sheogorath had won. From that day forward, Ravate served Sheogorath and warned daring travelers who tried to approach Sheogorath of their inevitable defeat.
