Jzargo

"Were they supposed to explode? Because they exploded." "Ah. No, that was not supposed to happen. But... J'zargo is pleased to see that you are here, and not in pieces! You are a good friend to have done this. J'zargo will not forget it." — the Last Dragonborn and J'zargo, 4E 201


J'zargo is a Khajiit sorcerer and an apprentice at the College of Winterhold. He is one of several apprentices encountered soon after joining the College and plays a minor role in some quests in the main College questline. He can initially be found attending Tolfdir's lecture during First Lessons, then at Saarthal during its excavation. J'zargo at first comes across as very conceited or even arrogant, but he is not completely above asking for your help.

When you approach him, he may comment, "Khajiit are not known as mages, so J'zargo has much to prove." or "Skyrim couldn't be more different from Elsweyr. But magic... Magic's the same no matter where you go." He can also be found boasting, "J'zargo will go wherever he can to learn more. Oblivion itself, if need be." or "J'zargo can learn magic from these men and elves, but they cannot learn to be as dashing as he. J'zargo comes out on top."

You can ask him why he became a student at the College. He'll explain, "Mages in Cyrodiil are all about politics. The Synod and the College of Whispers are too busy guarding secrets to bother to teach. Skyrim was not J'zargo's first choice, but Winterhold is removed from politics, dedicated to study. This is the place for J'zargo to become great." Should you mention to him that he seems very sure of himself, he will say with pride, "There is much for J'zargo to be sure of. There is skill in magic, there is charm, and there is a strong will. J'zargo will be successful, of this there is no doubt." If you try to convince him that not everything is a competition, he will slyly disagree: "Oh, but you are wrong. The only reason you could disagree is because you are losing so badly you cannot see it."
