Skyrim talk:Angrenor Once-Honored

Why He Died

I just got a courier delivering a message saying that he has passed away and I was the inheritance-owner (not sure how to say that in English). I got 100 gold! Paltry sum to lose such a fine NPC. :( Wonder why he died... — Unsigned comment by 62.194.211.88 (talk) at 09:05 on 16 November 2011

Age and poor living conditions, probably. Angrenor was old and Windhelm is a harsh place to live in. He's also a marriage prospect, by the way, and his condition improves noticeably if you drag him to live with you in a less harsh environment. He also turns out to be a big softy underneath the bragging, boasting tough-guy exterior. There's worse prospects for a female to marry... 89.189.38.226 11:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Never really met Angrenor Once-honored, which doesn't make sense why I was met by a courier who granted me the inheritance. I don't know what kind of a key character he is or maybe its just one of those things that happens after so many hours into the game. I was working on the Stormcloak storyline when I received the message. Weird, but it was free gold. — Unsigned comment by 50.102.15.249 (talk) at 16:56 on 26 November 2011

I just found his dead body just inside the windhelm gates, there is no reason as to why he died, i had finished the stormcloaks quests and just then finished innocence lost. (Eddie The Head 15:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC))

Same here, found his body in exactly the same place. My character is at level 61, but I haven't bothered with either the Imperial or Stormcloak quests. --174.6.51.17 08:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

He was the only victim when a dragon attacked Windhelm, right after I killed Ulfric. Also, I killed him myself, once. But otherwise, I don't think there's anything that would kill him. A bug maybe? Sometimes when you enter a cell, some people (and creatures alike) will spawn at dangerous heights and, when landing, will most probably die. 82.243.194.53 09:18, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I was walking out of Candleheart Hall when I heard (and read in the subtitles) him dying... I guess he dies of somekind of decease or something. I walked around all Windhelm but I couldn't find him though. I never talked to him, just passed by him a couple times to hear his "sword to the chest" commentary. 188.81.41.123 18:13, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Sword through the chest?

After completing the civil war quest line as the Imperials, I went back to Windhelm to start the Dark Brotherhood quest line. I walked past this guy, Angrenor Once-Honored and he said something like this: "I was the pride of the Stormcloak army, then I took a sword to the chest". Is this a reference to the 'I used to be an adventurer...' line?

no, bethesda never intented to have arrow through the knee turn into an extremely annoying meme. (Eddie The Head 05:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC))

Doesn't he actually say, 'I used to be one of the best soldiers in the Stormcloak army, 'til that Imperial craven ran me through from behind.' — Unsigned comment by 139.190.110.197 (talk) on 6 April 2012

Key

I removed the following from the page:

He carries around a key to the Arentino Residence. The reason for this is not yet known.

I tried pickpocketing, then killing and looting him and could not find the key on him. The game data doesn't seem to support him carrying the key either. --Alfwyn 14:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I just checked my game and he has the key on one of my characters but not on the others. The only reason I can think of is that I have done the Dark Brotherhood quests on that char. — Kimi the Elf ^{(talk | contribs)} 15:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I added it back to the page. After I completed the kids quest he now has the key. Im not sure why tho. — Kimi the Elf ^{(talk | contribs)} 15:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, that quest seems to be indeed the trigger. --Alfwyn 16:04, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
