Not far from whiterun at the farm where you get the quest about him, he is on the main path. PSN duudiz. User Info: trunk8. To be more specific, he is directly north of Whiterun.
If you head north along the eastern side of Whiterun, you'll find yourself walking along the road that you encounter him on. Just stay on that road, you can't miss him. More topics from this board He can be heard mumbling, but no one can hear what he is saying. Suspecting that Cicero and another member of the brotherhood are conspiring to betray the other members, Astrid sends the Dragonborn to investigate. The Dragonborn hides in the Night Mother's coffin, eavesdropping on Cicero and his conspirator.
While hiding, the Dragonborn learns that Cicero is, in fact, speaking to the Night Mother's remains, although she does not speak back; his private sessions with her were his attempts to verify himself as being the Listener , the one person who can hear the Night Mother speak.
Shortly after this discovery, the Dragonborn hears the Night Mother's voice, becoming the Listener. Exiting the coffin, Cicero at first suspects the Dragonborn of defiling the Night Mother's remains, but soon realizes that she has selected the Dragonborn as the Listener. Bitter that he was not made Listener, yet still excited to hear the news, he congratulates the Dragonborn. Astrid barges into the room, accusing Cicero of conspiring against the Brotherhood.
Cicero explains that the Dragonborn is the new Listener; however, despite this Astrid gets ready to attack him. Violence is averted when the Dragonborn explains that the Night Mother spoke to them.
Astrid sends the Dragonborn on several contracts , until she can sort out the mess. After killing Gaius Maro on his inspection route, the Dragonborn returns to the Falkreath Sanctuary, finding Veezara wounded, Arnbjorn missing, and Astrid quite disgruntled. In a fit of defiance, Cicero attacked Astrid for challenging the Night Mother's authority, but was intercepted by Veezara.
Surviving the skirmish, Cicero fled to the Dawnstar Sanctuary, Arnbjorn following close behind. Arriving at the sanctuary, the Dragonborn finds Arnbjorn bleeding heavily and searches the sanctuary for Cicero.
Battling through several spectral assassins , the Dragonborn finds Cicero, wounded and babbling. The Dragonborn has the option to kill Cicero, but if they decide not to, Cicero remains at the Dawnstar Sanctuary, even after the Penitus Oculatus destroys the Falkreath Sanctuary. Cicero is flagged as essential before " The Cure for Madness. While following the Dragonborn, he makes several off-beat jokes and humorous observations about the current location or quest.
While not following the Dragonborn, he lurks around the sanctuary near the Night Mother's sarcophagus, talking to himself and tending her. Cicero is a unique follower in the fact that he will often, for no reason, start to dance if he is a follower.
This can happen at any time, anywhere, regardless of what outfit Cicero is wearing. Cicero is also unique in that he is the only named follower, other than Serana , who cannot be recruited into the Blades. The only other followers who cannot join the Blades are the Dark Brotherhood initiates. His default outfit has no defense, and as such he will wear any armor given to him.
It is still possible to get Cicero's clothes after sparing him. Although it is not possible to take his clothing while he has it equipped, even with the Perfect Touch perk , by telling him to follow and then giving him any armor. Having him follow the Dragonborn once more allows for their armor to be retrieved. This can be used to get multiple sets of Cicero's clothes since each time armor is removed from him, his original clothes return. A copy of Cicero's default equipment, called the Jester's Outfit , lies on a table in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, meaning it is not necessary to kill, pickpocket, or use console commands to obtain his outfit.
However, the enchantments on this equipment are weaker and its value is less. Bother and befuddle! Stuck here! My mother, my poor mother. At rest, but too still! Where else would he be? Loreius is his name.
Talk to him. Convince him to help poor Cicero. Oh yes, mother and I will wait right here, right here until he fixes our wheel. Cicero has done nothing wrong!
Loreius will pay for his treachery! Oh, how he will pay And you! You were no help! Not at all! What treachery! Debaser and defiler! You have violated the sanctity of the Night Mother's coffin!
Explain yourself! Speak, worm! Is that you? Oh, I knew you'd come. Send the best to defeat the best. Astrid knew her stupid wolf couldn't slay sly Cicero. You kill the Keeper or I kill the Listener? Now that's madness.
Pointy pointy! My home is well defended. I always have been a stickler for details. Get it? Oh, I slay me! Cicero respects the Listener's abilities, of course, but could you at least slow down a bit? I'm not what I used to be. You'll enjoy this. Not an original part of the Sanctuary, per se. Let's call it a "forced addition. Oh, come and see! But what's a fool to do, when his mother is slandered and mocked? Surely the Listener understands! Maybe we could just forget all this? Let bygones be bygones?
What do you say? Stupid lizard got in the way! But please tell me that hulking sheepdog has bled to death. Behold the final trick of the Fool of Hearts! You think me near death? Think again! Ha ha ha ha ha! Cheap shot!
Do it again! Guard: "You there! Hold fast. You've been accused of a crime against the laws of this land. What say you in your defense? A crime? Poor Cicero is just standing here!
Cicero loves order. Oh yes! He would never disrespect the law! And what's in that coffin, hmm? Maybe some time in a cell will help loosen that lying tongue.
Oh, how he will pay for this treachery Soon as my relief arrives, we'll all take a nice little trip. Cicero: "But the Night Mother is mother to all! It is her voice we follow! Her will! Would you dare risk disobedience? And surely The man has had a long journey. You can at least be civil. Mister Cicero, I for one am delighted you and the Night Mother have arrived.
Your presence here signals a welcome return to tradition. Sure to earn our Lady's favor. And you will be afforded the respect deserving of your position as Keeper. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am the leader of this Sanctuary. My word is law. Are we clear on that point? You're the boss. Cicero: "Are we alone? Sweet solitude. No one will hear us, disturb us.
Everything is going according to plan. Cicero understands. Cicero always understands! And obeys! You will talk when you're ready, won't you? Won't you Dear Cicero. Such a humble servant. But he will never hear my voice. For he is not the Listener. How can I exert your will? If you will not speak?
To anyone! I will speak to you. For you are the one. Yes, you. You, who shares my iron tomb, who warms my ancient bones.
I give you this task - journey to Volunruud. Speak with Amaund Motierre. Poor Cicero is sorry, sweet mother. I've tried, so very hard. But I just can't find the Listener. Tell him the words he has been waiting for, all these years: 'Darkness rises when silence dies. At this point, Cicero will become suspicious and pry open the coffin, yelling "What?
What treachery! Debaser and defiler! You have violated the sanctity of the Night Mother's tomb! Explain yourself! Speak, worm! More treachery! More trickery and deceit! You lie! The Night Mother speaks only to the Listener! And there is She said those words But those are the words. The Binding Words. Written in the Keeping Tomes. The signal so I would know. Mother's only way of talking to sweet Cicero She is back!
Our Lady is back! She has chosen a Listener! She has chosen you! Ha ha ha! All hail the Listener! Astrid : "By Sithis, this ends now! Back away, fool! Whatever you've been planning is over! Are you all right? I heard the commotion. Who was Cicero talking to? Where's the accomplice? Reveal yourself, traitor! I spoke to the Night Mother, but she didn't speak to me. To the Listener! The Listener? What are you going on about? What is this lunacy? The Night Mother has spoken! The silence has been broken!
The Listener has been chosen! While Cicero dances, Astrid will approach you and demand an explanation. When you tell her about Amaund Motierre, she will say she needs time to think things over. When she leaves, Cicero will cheer: "You are the Listener! You are the Listener! I have served mother well, I have! You heard the words! And everything will soon be put right.
I did. I did indeed. I tried to listen. Tried so hard. But the Night Mother never spoke to poor Cicero. The silence became almost Oh, but that was then! This is now! You're the Listener, and the Night Mother chose you for a reason, I'm sure! Cicero will remain the happy Keeper.
The Night Mother speaks to you. Guides you on your path. But when the Night Mother speaks, the Listener must obey. You must! For her word is the will of Sithis. And Sithis is the Dark Brotherhood incarnate. Surely you're pulling Cicero's leg! Well of course the Night Mother will speak to you again! She might speak now, or later, or I don't know! But speak she will!
The Night Mother is part of you now! You get to hear voices inside your head! The rest of us should be so lucky. Oh, you should be. Things are finally looking up! When you return to the Sanctuary to receive your reward for Breaching Security , you will be greeted by an upset Gabriella : "It's There's been an incident. You should proceed into the Sanctuary. I'll let Astrid explain. A furious Astrid will tell you what happened: "The fool went absolutely berserk! He wounded Veezara, tried to kill me, and then he fled.
I knew that lunatic couldn't be trusted. Cicero was a little whirlwind, slashing this way and that. It would have been funny, if he weren't trying to murder us all. About the Night Mother, how she was the true leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and Astrid was just a "pretender. A quick investigation of Cicero's now abandoned quarters will reveal a number of journals describing Cicero's thoughts about Astrid and how he visited an abandoned sanctuary in Dawnstar.
It also tells the tale that Cicero couldn't stand the silence of the Night Mother and decided to head for the other Sanctuary in an attempt to bend Astrid towards the Old Ways. When you return to Astrid, she will explain it herself: "Cicero's problem isn't his madness.
It's an adherence to an ancient, outmoded way of life. The Night Mother's ways He just couldn't accept that. And now he'll have to pay the price. If I'm being honest, I haven't exactly been discreet lately in expressing my frustration with this whole situation. Obeying the Night Mother. You being the Listener. It's ridiculous. No offense. Cicero may have overheard me talking to one of the others about the Night Mother. It's possible I was But to go this far.
To attempt to murder the leader of a Sanctuary. Cicero must pay with his life. There is no other option. Babette : "Cicero destroyed any sympathy I may have had for him when he wounded Veezara. Kill the fool and be done with it.
A man like that, small and foolish, is easy to mock. To underestimate. Don't make the same mistake I did. He must die, of course, but can any of us truly blame him for his actions? We mocked him, disrespected the Old Ways. Our actions were shameful. Surely, the Night Mother weeps this day.
Maybe Cicero coming here wasn't the best thing that could have happened. But even I didn't anticipate this. Well, you know the old saying. When life gives you lemons That little jester is currently being digested in Arnbjorn's stomach, mark my words. As suggested by his final journal entry, Cicero did his homework in the Dawnstar Sanctuary.
Even if Arnbjorn managed to wound him badly, Cicero has secured himself behind a wide array of enemies and traps for protection. As you progress through the dark corridors, Cicero's eerie voice will echo through the halls from an unknown location:.
Is that you? Oh, I knew you'd come. Send the best to defeat the best. Astrid knew her stupid wolf couldn't slay sly Cicero. You kill the Keeper or I kill the Listener? Now that's madness. Pointy pointy! My home is well defended.
The guard will place Cicero under arrest. Cicero promises to make Loreius pay and chastises you for not being of assistance. After notifying Vantus, he thanks you for bringing him peace and gives you gold. Cicero is an assassin and the Keeper of the Dark Brotherhood. The coffin he is transporting contains the remains of the Night Mother. Choosing to help Cicero will lead to him showing gratitude if you join the Brotherhood. If you turn him in and later return to the farm, you'll find that Vantus Loreius and his wife, Curwe , have been slaughtered although if you wait too long the bodies will be gone.
A passing guard will remark "You don't want to go up there, citizen. It's a terrible sight. The farmer and his wife murdered in the middle of the night. So many knife wounds. Whichever attitude he shows toward you will carry no practical implications if you join the Brotherhood.
