Daedra of Kvatch Headcannons

I've decided to post some Headcannons of what I think the Hero of Kvatch is like in my AU. If you want more, or have any of your own, feel free to say something.

He has to have at least one signifier of his status as Sheogorath at all times, be it white hair, white eyes, the staff of Sheogorath or whatever.

He is usually a very fun person, being giddy if a bit Manic, but when those he loves or are sworn to protect are in danger, his enemies quickly learn why his realm is split in two.

He is constantly approached by mad men and women who sing his praises, give him offerings, state their prayers. He usually waves them off, telling them to go away, but when people aren't looking, he places his hand on their heads and tells them "may you find you place in New Sheoth" and leaves them to their madness.

He actively tries to hide his Godhood from the people of the Empire, could you imagine how they would feel knowing that their Hero and the husband of their Emperor was a Daedric Prince? And the Prince of Madness non the less.

He was made a General of the Imperial Legion because of his bravery while protecting his Emperor from the hordes of Daedra during the Battle of Bruma.

It becomes exceptionally hard for him, Martin, Ocato and Joeffre to hide his Godhood from the people.

During the Battle of Bruma, when the Daedra swarmed out of the gates, some of the Lesser Daedra, like Clannfear, Hungers, and Scamps, refused to attack him as they could sense his power and didn't understand that he was not their leader, but their enemy.

Also, during the Battle, when Martin got hit by a Dremora arrow HoK snapped. He summoned an army of Saints and Seducers to destroy the horde of Dremora.

He spent most of the Battle glued next to Martin, making sure no more arrows touched him as they were surrounded by a circle of Saints and Seducers, blocking the swords, laces, and axes of the Dremora.

HoK tells the people that his unnaturally white hair was caused by his mother being exposed to powerful magicks while she was with child, which also gave him his natural talent for Conjuration magick.

Some times, HoK's humanity disappears completely and he truly becomes Sheogorath. On these occasions, Martin doesn't sleep as he is kept up wondering whether he will see his love again.

At night, HoK will lie awake, Martin in his arms, thinking about the future. HoK is going to outlive his mortal husband, but can he really bear watching him die? Watching the person who you love more than anything die would be too much for even the God of Madness to handle.

The Elder Council is very critical of their relationship. Their main criticisms are 1. There is no way for Martin to have an heir. 2. HoK is clearly mentally unstable. 3. Why is HoK disappearing randomly? 4. Is it really safe to have such a powerful and insane Wizard be this close to the Emperor?

As the God of Madness, HoK goes through days where he suffers through a random mental illness or disorder, but on much high levels than anything a mortal would feel. Just imagine how bad the depression or anxiety would have to be to be considered crippling for a God.

Even before he was Sheogorath, HoK had bad anxiety, so when the Council criticizes him, he spends hours in his room wondering if they're right. If he's not fit to be Emperor. If hes not right for Martin. What if he keeps being Emperor and he loses control and accidentally destroys the city? Or worse, Martin.

The Strange Door was moved from Bravil to the Imperial City, being hidden inside HoK's chambers and disguised as a Magicka Font.

He actually joined the Mages Guild. It was mainly so he could back up his ploy of being a mage, but he also wanted to find any books he could on Sheogorath, Jyggalag, the Greymarch, Mantaling, and Daedric Princes.

He spends so much time in the Imperial City, that Haskill had joined the Elder Council and the Palace guards have had a few Saints and Seducers join their ranks posing as High Elves and Dark Elves.

He actually does want to have children with Martin, but he doesn't know if it's possible so he won't mention anything to him.

When Martin lit the Dragonfire, it caused a physical sickness to overtake HoK, Haskill, and all the Saints and Seducers in the Guards.

The official statement was food poisoning, but rumors had started to spread.

Martin stayed up all night, holding his beloved as HoK convulsed in pain, not being able to sleep because of it.

The only times Martin left his side was when he prayed to Akatosh to relieve his love of his suffering, to let him survive it.

This went on for 3 months but it had finally ended. HoK, Haskill and all of the Guards were perfectly fine, with no physical or spiritual side effects.

Martin was so grateful that he set up an altar to Akatosh inside his own bedchambers, right next to the one he has to Sheogorath.

Martin had HoK appoint 8 new members of the Elder Council so he would at least have some people with him. His choices were Haskill, the Dark Seducer Captain, the Golden Saint Captain, the Duke of Dementia Klarion, the Duchess of Mania Hyebe, the Champion of Cyrodiil, Relmyna Verenim, and Sheldon the Mayor of Passwall.

Count Janus Hassildor of Skingrad is the only person on tue Elder Council who isn't from the Shivering Isles, and isnt one of HoK's closest friends that knows of his title. The two share a mutual understanding with each other. HoK wont tell anyone about Janus being a vampire, and Janus won't tell anyone that HoK is Sheogorath.

The relationship between the two is made of the begrudging respect that HoK feels toeards Janus, and the fear and amazement that Janus feels towards HoK.

When the two first met, Martin asked HoK if him and Janus used to date by the way they were staring at each other. HoK told Martin the truth, but also told him that he had nothing to worry about. Martin found it hilarious that one of the Emperor's was a Daedric Prince and one of the Countss was a vampire. That was, after he stopped panicking.

HoK thought it best to not say anything about the Coumt of Anvil being the Grey Fox for a time. Dont want Martin burting a blood vessel or anything.

Thanks for reading, and like I said, if you want more just ask.
