do you think lucci would side with or against the dark brotherhood in skyrim?
this is literally one of the best asks I ever got, since I live for cipherpol but also skyrim is one of my all time favourite video games. I always had a thing for assassins tho.
So, some facts about the DB (from elderscrolls wiki):
“The Dark Brotherhood is an organization of highly trained assassins who carry out assassination contracts. The Dark Brotherhood is called upon by those who wish to utilize their deadly services through a ritual called “The Black Sacrament,” although to join the organization, one must be contacted directly. They were once the most feared organization in all of Tamriel, but have lost their reputation over time due to the destruction of multiple sanctuaries across Tamriel. […][…] They revere Sithis, the avatar of entropy and chaos, as well as the Night Mother, who is their spiritual leader.”
So, the Dark Brotherhood works undercover, so does CP9. The difference is, that the people in Tamriel know the DB exists, when it comes to CP9 there are just rumors going on, at least till the Water 7 / Enies Lobby arc.Lucci is a highly trained assassin too, he kills people who are in his way but also on contract (for example when he was a teen and got the contract to “save” soldiers from a pirate crew).Here comes my opinion, that Lucci would probably not work for the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim:Lucci wouldn’t work for an organization that lost reputation. He wants to be the leader of something that is feared and respected. Also, I don’t think Lucci would believe in something like Sithis or the Night Mother. He isn’t religious and kills cause his boss tells him to (but a human-being, not a corpse or ghost).My last thought on this: if Lucci kills, he does is directly. The DB assassin’s are in disguise, always. They are hiding all the time, kill in the darkness (wishful thinking, similar to Assassin’s Creed). Of course, if Lucci is undercover, he doesn’t randomly kill people for everyone to see. But it’s a sure thing, that he doesn’t hide himself when killing someone. He needs that kick and admiration.
Yeah, even tho there some similarities, I don’t think Lucci would work for the Dark Brotherhood. Maybe some eras later, when they get a better reputation. Could be a possibility.
Thanks for that awesome question, anon! ♥
