  How in the hell does listing my choices prevent someone else from doing anything?  That's why I say what I did, when you get to making an Agent, do whatever you want, it's your build.  This is not "The only way to play an Agent" but ment to give people ideas on how to make their own, like this one.  

  No classification system allows someone to make something Unique.  The new system is No classes. If you like the Stormcloak uniform, then wear it.  I think it's pretty obvious you're a Stormcloak Agent if you show up in uniform, which is why the Hand of the Dominion doesn't wear Thalmor Robes.

  I would love noting more than this to turn out like Poty's Path of the Paladin, in that multiple Autors submit their own Agents of whatever Faction.  I'm not sure how that would work here, but consider this to be my project for the day...

  Thanks for the plug - When I made my Agent build last June, and I decided I would go an entirely different route from both Morrowind and Oblivion.  And your agent(s) are different than mine - which is wonderful, as there are many ways to play/create an agent.

  I like the idea about having a Morrowind Agent, so that got me thinking about Dunmer Factions that might be active in Skyrim for that Variant.  Thanks for that.

  You're welcome.  And there being many ways to play an Agent is pretty much the whole premise here, beyond making a "Classic" Agent for Albino's Classes of the Elder Scrolls index.

  I'll try my hand at a suggestion, Agent of Tu'whacca: Race: Redguard Bio: Agents of the Caretaker, he helps the Redguard race from the forgotten corners of their own pantheon. Tu'whacca is the god of Souls, and was once purposeless. But now he guides the souls along with his brother god, Arkay. You are one if his agents, a reaper. Shunned for your use of nudri-hi, that you have deemed is necassary to guide souls to their final resting place. You have vowed to smite the wicked and rid their presence from Nirn, body and soul. As well as set the undead free from their unrest. Major Skills: Conjuration, Illusion, Archery, and Sneak. Conjuration for the Bound Bow and Atronachs. Illusion for Quiet Casting, Muffle, Invisibility, Fury, and Fear spells. Archery for use of the Bound Bow. And Sneak to make up for lack of armor. Armor: Monk Robes-Your disguise is of a priest of Arkay who shares the burden of guiding the dead. He is a fellow god to revere, though Tu'whacca comes before. I'm a little busy right now, so this is all I could come up with at the moment. I can add more later.

  If you explore that idea, you might consider these concepts:
  
  - A forward scout for the Morag Tong. Just because they worship Mephala through assassinations doesn't mean they wouldn't want to have information on their targets and the situation on the ground before sending in an assassin.
  
  - A spy for House Hlaalu. They've always had a beef with House Redoran, especially after they swooped in to fill the power gap after being stripped of Great House status during the Red Year. After their failed coup on Raven Rock in Solstheim, they've presumably been licking their wounds and waiting for the chance to strike again.

  I like it, but I'm trying to avoid the repetition of Skills, and spells, so those will probably be dropped.  If there's anything unique to that faction, then it deserves mention, but I could double the length of this post by going over the same Data with each one.  So, whatever set them apart from the Basic Agent-without-a-Cause template is what's important.

  I like the background a lot, so let me know when you're finished with it.  Also, if you have any screencaps, or images to show what you're talking about, it would really save me a lot of trouble.

  Also, I'm not talking as much about Gods/Daedra as Factions.  I mostly gave examples inside of Skyrim, but these aren't Paladins, and unless their Faction is associated with a particular Higher Power, they may even be relatively Atheistic (As much as possible where Daedric Princes occasionally go on rampages through the continental Capitol.)  Okay, Nocturnal was one, but note that the Agent of Skyrim doesn't even mention Talos?  Ulfric may speak for Him, and His motives, but I sure won't.

  You can do what Ponty did for his paths of the paladins discussion and add a skill that makes that paladin unique and get rid of a skill that agent wouldn't use?
