Well unless you're character from Arena was an 30 year old Orc or an 80 year old human. Maybe. It depends on the character you played with I guess.

No, the Eternal Champion is dead. The EC ended up trying to lead a revolt against the emprah, because the Eternal Champion was royally shafted when it came to getting a reward. However, the rebellion was quickly put down (didn't help that the EC went to Altmora), and all records, appearances, and whatnot of the EC after saving the emperor were burned. In addition, Chancellor Ocato was granted the power, by the emprah, to erase everyone's memories concerning the EC after saving the emprah

Depends. Arena was released in 1994 and was designed for MS-DOS systems. While some computers from that era may still be around, they would undoubtedly be incapable of running anything but the most basic modern applications. Most, however, have undoubtedly been destroyed by now.

As it reads in my sig:

I like to think Jauffre is the Eternal Champion


Think about it; an older person, with some serious fighting abilities, head of the emporer's protection and confidont (the emporer told him about the 'other' heir). So im my opinion, he is the Eternal Champion, the fact he isnt spoken about could easily be because he wanted to be a blade, and a famous well known blade just doesnt work.



Thats all just my opinion though.

Yes, and he went on to become a hero on the island of Vvardenfell and later helped find an Emperor's lost heir.

They don't have to be, technically. All the games take place in a short span of time, so even a human could have done all those deeds. If he is also the hero of Daggerfall (who was an imperial agent - makes perfect sense) then the Dragonbreak might have permanently messed him up, which would lend itself perfectly to a singular hero who does all the important things only to be forgotten.

Lady Nerevar gets it. And the great thing is that post-Morrowind he never has to worry about getting too old to go on adventures...

Yeah, but the Nerevarine went to Akavir.

And I must say, I find the Jauffre theory quite interesting.

he is a hardened criminal? or, in my Grand Unified Dragonbreak Theory ™, he keeps getting amnesia and accidentally doing things hes not supposed to do.

its rumored that the nerevarine went to akavir. its up to you, the player, to decide what your nerevarine did after he defeated Dagoth Ur.

How the hell does he keep landing his ass in jail then?

With Battlespire being the first game chronologically speaking, its only natural that its hero would be imprisoned as a threat to the Emperor after the events of the game. That's the first time he lands in jail, and its from here that you are freed and finish what you started in the Battlespire. In Daggerfall you don't start out in jail, you start out as an agent of the Emperor. It isn't too much of a stretch to suggest that Uriel gave you a job after you rescued him and being the naturally adventurous individual you are you wouldn't settle for some boring job as a bureaucrat, thus you get sent to Daggerfall. Daggerfall ends with the Warp of the West. You, being the very central figure of this event, are driven completely insane by it, resulting in you being taken back to Cyrodiil and being placed under confinement by the Emperor for your own safety.

Fate intercedes just as you begin to come back to your senses and the Emperor has a vision in which he sends you to Morrowind. Normally, being close to the Emperor he would have provided greatly for your travel and returned all of your belongings to you, however it is of necessity in accordance with your mission that you arrive under the radar. Thus you are sent as a normal prisoner on a dank boat, where you arrive on Vvardenfell to begin the path of the Nerevarine.

Upon defeating Dagoth Ur, Hircine, and the god Almalexia, "fate" intercedes again. Azura and her fellow Daedric conspirators, whom only needed you as a pawn to rid Morrowind of the Tribunal and take out the Red Tower (and not wanting you as a hindrance to Morrowind returning to direct worship of the Daedra), succeed in stripping you of your power and manipulating Helseth to have you sent back to the Imperial City prison. Rumors spread that you have gone to Akavir and you are helpless to convince anybody of your true identity.

Some years pass and by luck the Emperor runs through your cell as he makes his escape. The Emperor knows you but doesn't recognize you fully, afterall its been fifteen years since he's last seen you; you've changed much, he's gotten older and he still feels the ill effects of being imprisoned in Oblivion. With his mind being further blurred by the heat of the moment he can only surmise that you're from his dreams. Thus you begin the events of Oblivion.

You are also now immortal following your bout with Corprus, so even if you're a human character you won't ever have to worry about getting any older, meaning you can continue your cyclical role of saving the day only to fall into obscurity indefinitely.

Oh my...That actually makes sense...Do you think the heroes from each numbered TES really are the same?

How could Nerevarine and the Champ be the same person when even if he didn't go to Akavir how could he get a disease in Cyrodill when he's immune to all?

Mine couldn't.


Seriously dude, use your imagination. Maybe the Daedra took away his disease immunity. Maybe the immunity just wore off what with the Heart being removed. Maybe some other way entirely. If you want to make the story fit there are a hundred and one ways to do it. If you just want to be a skeptic, well, you're no fun to talk to...

Personally, I gave my character a disease immunity to fit my backstory.

Well, the problem sorta solves itself for the most part if the pc is an argonian. Then all you have to say is that the immunity only partially wore off.

Hell, I made up a backstory where the Cyrodiil Champion's father is the agent that got sent to Daggerfall and caused the Warp of the West, while his mother later on became the Nerevarine.
