Neldam Beloth

Neldam Beloth is a Dark Elf rogue and an associate of Alammu Nethre's who appears during Alammu's Veil.

After you agree to help her retrieve her heirloom and travel to Frozen Grotto, he will ambush you and present you with a stark choice: carry a mysterious parcel to Alammu, or die. If you agree, he sends you off and will settle down to a simple routine: sleeping from 10pm to 4am, eating from 12pm to 1pm and spending the rest of the day wandering around the grotto. If you balk, he will immediately attack you.

Neldam is equipped with leather armor, gauntlets and boots, and is armed with an elven dagger of torpor and a regular elven dagger. He also carries a potion of ultimate healing, two potions of vigorous healing, three leveled invisibility potions, 4 leveled damage health poisons and a random selection of gold, lockpicks, rings, food and drink.

After you've agreed to help Alammu Nethre with finding her stolen heirloom, she will point you towards the grotto:

I'll help you.
"Excellent, thank you! The heirloom that's been stolen, well, by all accounts the thief fled to the northeast of Bruma. I suspect they're holed up in Frozen Grotto. If you are able to retrieve my heirloom for me, I'll be forever in your debt!"

On discovering that the grotto is empty, you will be ambushed by Neldam:

"Well, well. If it isn't another adventurer, come to return the 'heirloom' back to its rightful owner. Well, I'm afraid the heirloom isn't real. You're a damned fool, though I can't say you're the first."
Who are you?
"I'm someone that isn't afraid to kill people that ask tedious questions. Now, listen. I have a dagger on my hip. It's laced with a deadly homebrewed Dunmer concoction. Luminous russula, violet coprinus, a little bit of ground adamantium ore..."

His next line will vary depending on whether or not you are Argonian:

"Ah, but of course. You lizards are resistant to poison, aren't you? Well, the dagger is still sharper than a scamp's claw..."
"All you need to know is that once this poison gets into your veins, well... I wouldn't be investing in any of your business ventures."

He will then continue:

"So I suggest you co-operate with me."
How did you sneak up on me like that?
"A combination of stealth training, experience and not being a clumsy oaf. That, and I kept a few invisibility potions in my satchel as a fallback. Now, I think it's time we got down to business."
So what is it you want from me?
"I have a package here that needs delivering to a certain Dunmer lady in Bruma. Quite the damsel, that one."
You mean the woman that sent me here?
"Well, if you're going to put it so bluntly, I'm afraid you've disappointed me. I was hoping we could keep the foreplay going a little longer. Yes, I mean Alammu Nethre. She's an associate of mine. Stone-hearted bitch. Suits me perfectly."
Neldam out for revenge

Should walk away at any point, he will attack you:

I will have nothing to do with this.
"Wrong choice."

Speaking to him again after he's given you the parcel will only net you:

"I believe you've got a task to complete. Off you go. Or would you rather I end you right here and now?"

If you then return the package, he will disappear from the game, but if you open it and keep the skooma inside for yourself, he will remain in the grotto. If you expose Alammu's blackmail to the Bruma guard, he will disappear from the grotto, but will later randomly ambush you with three thugs in the wilderness. This is a tough fight, as in addition to his companions, Neldam himself is a very capable fighter with numerous combat perks.
