Description:

Not a lot is known about this wyrm-shaped Daedra Prince. According to Morian Zenas' "On Oblivion", his sphere is pestilence, older accounts refer to him as the "Taskmaster", naming him responsible for the ordering of the lowest orders of Oblivion.

History:

Although all of Tamriel is intimately familiar with the effects of Peryite's handywork - pandemics of epic proportions - not many have met this Prince in person. The player may have summoned him in Daggerfall, but aside from that, there are no known accounts of encounters with this most unpleasant character. Considering he is one of the five clearly evil Daedra, it is likely we will get to meet this one in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
