The Eternal Champion (born in 3E 370) is the protagonist and player character of The Elder Scrolls: Arena.

Biography

As always, the title of "Eternal Champion" is the ultimate title given to the player at the game's climax; the character's name is left to the creation of the person playing the game. The Eternal Champion helped rescue Uriel Septim VII from Oblivion after he was trapped there by the Imperial Battlemage Jagar Tharn, during a 10 year event deemed the Imperial Simulacrum.

In 3E 389, Jagar Tharn summoned both Emperor Uriel Septim VII and General Talin Warhaft on rumors of treachery. Jagar Tharn betrayed the two, and transported them into Oblivion. Tharn's apprentice, Ria Silmane, witnessed his treachery and tried to warn the Elder Council, but was killed by Tharn.

After months of planning, Jagar Tharn transformed himself into the image of the Emperor and took the throne. He summoned demon minions and transformed them into the Emperor's Guard. He also sent a low-ranking member of the emperor's court into the Imperial Dungeons to die.

Ria Silmane became an incorporeal form through the use of magic and remains in this world so that she could warn the prisoner of Jagar Tharn's treachery and that the Emperor is actually Jagar Tharn in disguise. Ria created a key for the prisoner to escape their cell so they can escape. The only way to stop Jagar Tharn was to obtain the Staff of Chaos, in which he held his lifeforce, but the staff had been split by Tharn into eight pieces and scattered across Tamriel. Since the prisoner was the only one that Ria Silmane could trust, it was up to them to reassemble the pieces and defeat Jagar Tharn.

Finally, in 3E 399, after a long quest to reassemble the pieces which were hidden at the bottom of a dungeon in each province, The Champion finally reassembled the Staff of Chaos. However, Jagar Tharn was not defeated as they and Ria Silmane had hoped. There was one final piece in the Imperial Palace, the jewel to the Staff, which would make it complete.

The prisoner fought their way through the Imperial Palace until they reached the basement level, where they fought with Tharn. During the fight, the prisoner touched the jewel of the staff, melting Jagar. The staff created a portal automatically to the dimension in which the Emperor and General Warhaft were being held. The Emperor then made them the Eternal Champion as a reward for saving them and defeating Jagar Tharn.

The Eternal Champion's fate is left unknown at the end of Arena. Uriel Septim claims that the hero will rule by his side, so the Eternal Champion may have been given some form of power over the Empire after the events of the game.
