Jäger Tharn was an imperial Battlemage and advisor to Emperor Uriel Septim VII. Though accounts contest some information, it’s accepted that he is a Bosmer or Wood Elf, making him shorter in stature. Originally thought to be a trusted ally, Jäger Tharn exiles Uriel to the wastes of Oblivion and assumed his identity for 10 years until a Hero defeated him and rescued the Emperor. The main antagonist of the Elder Scrolls I: Arena, Jäger Tharn is a cunning and powerful mage his life force bound to a red stone from which he draws his power. He wears black robes and carries a staff with a green orb on the top and a red spike at the end.

My inspiration for this figure came from 3 images of the character: his in game NPC, the scroll design with the spear end to his staff in the opening cutscene and the sprite version of h when he talks to the player.

I used various parts: Aragorns body, a Wolverine head, Haldirs arms, Haldirs upper legs, Sheriff of Nottingham legs and Eowyn feet along with he spear head, Gandalf staff and belt, Gungan energy ball, Jon Snows cloak and hair, Gandalf and striders ponchos and Pippins hood and robes from that Dr Who Witch again for the tunic.

I painted his face with green spots so it looks a bit off on photo but fine in person to show the light of the staff or just how his face is in game. I got major Prince Xizor vibes when making this custom before adding the cloak and hood and his buff appearance reminded me of the 90s action figure style. It’s not perfect but I like it and it’s the only character from Arena I’m making and part of my Specials not wave 1 as he’s not from Oblivion.

Thanks for having a look hope you enjoy.
