Jerulith is a former Thalmor Justiciar who served under Ondolemar in Markarth. Following a gruesome murder in which the Thalmor were suspected, Jerulith was willingly used as a scapegoat in order to further their cause in Markarth. She hopes to regain her standing with the Thalmor once the incident is forgotten.

Notes:
– Like all essential NPCs, the effect is due to her involvement in a quest. Upon completion of Honor’s Calling, Jerulith can be killed.
– Jerulith is the friend Viranya speaks of whose politics she dislikes. In the quest Vigilance and Virtue, Jerulith was referenced specifically by name to help avoid any ambiguity.
– The mispronunciation of Justiciar as Justicar is a result of the author’s ignorance and not a mistake on the voice actor’s part. I blame Mass Effect.
