Skyrim:Dark Ancestor

Summary

After stealing Lod's letter for Dengeir, he'll trust you enough to handle an important matter. It is of great concern and embarrassment to him that his ancestor Vighar is actually a vampire. For years he was magically bound within his grave, but the magic energies weakened and allowed him to escape. When asked, he will tell his family secret: "You may have seen the open grave in our graveyard. Most of the townsfolk think it's the work of a corpse thief. The truth is less pleasant. It is...was, the grave of Vighar, my own ancestor, dead for centuries now. He is also a vampire. My family is entrusted with keeping him buried, but recently someone stole the wardstone, and Vighar escaped." However, he is not interested in the stone, he just wants Vighar destroyed. "No. It's too late for the wardstone. Vighar must be destroyed. If this gets out, my family will suffer great shame." Dengeir has tracked him down to the vampire lair Bloodlet Throne and wants you to head there and destroy him before anyone discovers his family's secret shame.

The quest involves defeating a vampire to protect a family's honor, offering moderate heroism and altruism. It has elements of secrecy and potential criminality due to the theft of the letter.
