I'm gonna say it's whatever the race is in the assassination/lute scene in the gameplay trailer. I see a lot of posts saying Wood Elf...I'm gonna say the same.

The next day, he did return with more questions, these ones very specific. He wanted to know about the vampires of eastern Skyrim. I told him about the most powerful tribe, the Volkihar, paranoid and cruel, whose very breath could freeze their victims' blood in the veins. I explained to him how they lived beneath the ice of remote and haunted lakes, never venturing into the world of men except to feed.

Movarth Piquine listened carefully, and asked more questions into the night, until at last he was ready to leave.

"I will not see you for a few days," he said. "But I will return, and tell you how helpful your information has been."

True to his word, the man returned to my chapel shortly after midnight four days later. There was a fresh scar on his cheek, but he was smiling that grim but satisfied smile of his.

"Your advice helped me very much," he said. "But you should know that the Volkihar have an additional ability you didn't mention. They can reach through the ice of their lakes without breaking it. It was quite a nasty surprise, being grabbed from below without any warning."

It's a scamp with daedric-ish armor on..

this is incredibly obvious.. why is it even up for debate?

is he a blind scamp?

Why would he be blind? :huh:

Because that mask doesn't have eye holes. He's blind with it on anyway :tongue:

His eyes look very strange with the helmet off.

And the helmet itself has some kind of mysterious design that would seem to obscure or alter vision.

What do you guys think the mystery picture is? Reply and vote!

Thread #2 well, I must say, one of you is very clever

Thread #2 well its been fun, but I have to go work on a certain elven race before I call it a night..... no relation to this thread by the way, just wanted to throw another little bit of turmoil out there.
Maybe I will return when this reaches a third thread.

Thread #3 wow this has really grown. hmmm, quite a few good guesses in these threads... but alas there can be only one. Some really clever people in here though

Thread #4 still growing huh? Right from the very beggining there was some interesting speculation. By the way you guys have a very impressive grasp of the lore.

Latest Update on speculation:

Argonian. Zoom in on the image and you will see what appears to be a snout, and also what appears to be ummm....fins (for lack of a better term) coming from the back of his/her head. It a bit distorted being zoomed in at 400% but skin doesn't appear to be human, but more scaly. Me thinks it's an Argonian.
