The disgraced General Casik in the cells of the Ebon Tower

General Casik is an Imperial Knight and a disgraced officer of the Imperial Legion, accused of treason after he allegedly plotted to lead Imperial Legion troops directly into an Argonian ambush, presumably during the Arnesian War. He has languished in the cells of the Ebon Tower's Legion Headquarters for thirty years, being found in the first one on the left after entry into the dungeons.

Years of neglect have left him apparently weak and an easy target of murder, with only few repercussions, should you decide to do this during the course of his associated quest, Belated Justice. He is determined to prove his innocence however, and has sent persistent missives to Belisatha Mede at the Ministry of Justice. Both she and Olfvur Steel-Skin have tired of the situation, and will send you to persuade him to stop.

Casik claims that a Daedric doppelganger performed the crimes of which he is accused, perhaps referencing the events of the Imperial Simulacrum, where Imperial Battlemage, Jagar Tharn, impersonated Emperor Uriel Septim VII, and was said to have placed dopplegangers in positions of influence - most notably, the heirs of the emperor themselves. Uncovering the truth of Casik's claims forms a major part of his quest.

Before his imprisonment, there were two important people in Casik's life - his wife Nerasa Veran, a priest of the Tribunal Temple, and his former aide, Caecalia Victrix, who has since gone on to become Lord General, the commander of all Imperial Legion troops in Morrowind. However, his relationship with his wife had become strained, and he came to avoid her, even maintaining an Argonian lover on the side known as Deesh-Ja.

Notes

• Casik's true story and purpose has been left purposefully ambiguous by the developers, with no definite link to the Simulacrum drawn other than Bravilo Julianian's accusations that Casik has plagiarized his story from those events.
