Caius Cosades, the leading Blades member in Vvardenfell

[edit] Quick Walkthrough

Complete the character creation process by asking Sellus Gravius about your duties.
Leave the office, head over to the silt strider, and pay the operator to take you to the city of Balmora.
Optional: Go to the South Wall Cornerclub and ask Bacola Closcius for directions to Caius Cosades.
Head over to Caius' house. It is in the northeastern section of the town.
Deliver the package to the shirtless man, Caius Cosades, inside. Respond 'yes' to all of his questions, and he will make you a Novice in the Blades.

[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Seyda Neen

As you awake, you will find yourself in a boat in Imperial custody. You will be escorted to the Census and Excise Office, and will eventually be released. Before you leave, you are given orders to take a Coded Package to Caius Cosades in the town of Balmora, where you will be given further instructions. Sellus Gravius will give you a release fee of 87 gold, the package itself, and more detailed instructions to be used as a reference. He also mentions that someone in the South Wall Cornerclub should know where to locate Cosades. When you are ready to go to Balmora, you can talk to Darvame Hleran, the silt strider operator, and pay her to take you there. Alternatively, Elone in Arrille's Tradehouse can give you directions if you prefer to walk.

[edit] Balmora

As the instructions mention, head over to the Cornerclub, which is in the southeastern corner of Balmora. After speaking with some of the people here about Cosades, they will refer you to Bacola Closcius, who is upstairs. He will then give you directions on where his house is located, and how to get there. Alternatively, you may go without directions. Technically, there is no need to ask around, since Caius will give you the same questions, answers, and opportunities if you just show up at his house with the package in hand.

[edit] Caius Cosades

After giving Caius the package and promising that you will follow his orders, he will name you a Novice of the Blades, the emperor's eyes and ears of the provinces. Ask for orders and he will tell you to get some experience under your belt and give you 200 gold if you are level 3 or lower. If you are level 4 or above, he will simply compliment you on your abilities. You do not actually need to gain any experience to proceed at this point, but it is advised. Ask him once more about his orders, and he will redirect you to Hasphat Antabolis of the Fighters Guild.

[edit] Notes

There are a lot of items available for the taking during the character creation process. What's even better is that they can't arrest or punish you until the character creation process is over! Just make sure you drop the loot before the guard catches you, or else he'll take your items away.
Before you leave Seyda Neen, you may want to take some time to familiarize yourself with the game. Talk with the locals, explore the territory, and get some loot.
You can get information and additional items by visiting the various Blades Trainers (only if you are level 5 or lower) that Caius speaks of.
If you don't leave the Census and Excise office, it is possible to kill all three people inside without receiving any punishment. If you leave, however, you will be treated normally for all crimes you commit.
If lost, the package is irretrievable in the XBox version; you will not be able to continue on in the main quest. The package can, however, be restored to your inventory in the PC version by opening the console and typing: Player-> additem "bk_a1_1_caiuspackage"1

1	My orders are to go to the town of Balmora in Vvardenfell District and report to a man named Caius Cosades. To find out where he lives, I should ask in Balmora at the cornerclub called South Wall. When I find Caius Cosades, I must give him a package of documents, and wait for further orders.
2	Elone at Arrille's Tradehouse gave me detailed directions to Balmora.
5	A patron of the South Wall cornerclub called Caius Cosades "an old sugar tooth," and says to ask the owner, Bacola Closcius, about Caius Cosades.
10	Bacola Closcius says Caius Cosades rents a little bed-and-basket up the hill from the South Wall. Go right up the stairs from the front door, then left at the top of the stairs and down to the end of the street.
11	I reported to Caius Cosades, but I haven't given him the package of documents yet.
12	I gave Caius Cosades the package of documents. Caius Cosades says the Emperor wants me inducted into the Blades, the Imperial Intelligence service, with the rank of Novice. Caius Cosades would be my Spymaster, and I would follow his orders. Should I do as the Emperor commands? I'm not sure... I want to think about it.

18	Spymaster Caius Cosades gave me 200 gold to spend as I please. And he also told me to establish a cover identity as a freelance adventurer. He suggested I join the Fighters Guild, or Mages Guild, or Imperial cult, advance in the ranks, gain skill and experience, or go out on my own, get freelance work. Then, when I'm ready, I come back to Caius for orders.
