This Bosmer is only seen in the quest A Brush with Death where he stole the Brush of Truepaint from one Rythe Lythandas, a famous painter. When he gets cornered in the "Canvas world" he paints several trolls who kill him and then guard his corpse preventing anyone from getting the brush back. The player has to kill the Painted trolls and retrieve the Brush of Truepaint in order to save Rythe Lythandas.

• A Brush with Death: Rythe Lythandas, the best painter in all the land, has gone missing! His wife Tivela is distraught and requests your help in finding him.

[edit] Notes

• Oddly, the body when you find it is labeled as "Bosmer Thief", and Lythandas refers to him more than once as a Bosmer. But a closer inspection reveals that the body is actually that of an Altmer. The name in the Construction Set is "Senannala," which sounds slightly more like an Altmer name than Bosmer, though Bosmer and Altmer names are often similar.
