Helvius Cecia is an Imperial Rogue and a member of the Thieves Guild in Bruma. He is the master trainer in Hand to Hand.

[edit] Hand to Hand Master Training

The two advanced trainers who can give you the master training reference necessary to start this quest are Davela Hlaren and Ra'qanar.

Before providing master training, Helvius will require you to prove that you have the skill to fight bare-knuckled. You must un-equip any weapons, and do over 73 damage to him in under 40 seconds. (His health is 163, and you need to get it down to 90.) Technically, you should attack Helvius with your fists but he won't be upset if you use spells, although this will completely defeat the purpose of the test. Draw a weapon, or take too long, and he will call off the fight and say you're not ready. If you are having trouble passing the test, turning down the difficulty slider will increase the damage you do.

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage quest stage. Where quest is the internal name of the quest, and stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
