Skyrim:Find the Thalmor Assassin

Summary

If you manage to get Malborn out of the Thalmor Embassy alive during Diplomatic Immunity, after the end of that quest, he will run all the way to Windhelm seeking shelter in the New Gnisis Cornerclub, a Dunmer tavern located in the Gray Quarter. If you used Brelas as a distraction during that quest, she will be nearby (see Bugs). Upon your next visit anywhere near the city of Windhelm a hidden timer of 1 in-game day starts, so be sure to receive and complete this quest fast. Approaching Malborn in the New Gnisis Corneclub will have him explain his situation: due to his treachery, he is obviously blacklisted by the Thalmor so he has decided to flee to Morrowind; however, every time he tries to sneak out of Windhelm, he sees a suspicious Khajiit outside the gates. Convinced that the Thalmor have sent an assassin to kill him, and still blaming you and Delphine for putting him in a tight spot, the scared Malborn is now stuck in the Cornerclub and will request your assistance to get him to safety.

The quest involves helping an innocent character escape danger, which emphasizes altruism and mercy. It has elements of chaos and criminality due to the Thalmor conflict and potential betrayal. The rewards are primarily gold, with minimal impact on power or status.
