'It's only a matter of time before your whole rotten Empire collapses of its own decay. We intend to prove the superiority of Mer over Man, one century at a time.' You might know them from their common name. We re-founded the Aldmeri Dominion, an alliance between us and our Bosmer cousins. We've been watching over our lands for 200 years. The Empire exists because we allow it to exist, and I'm here to make sure the Jarl of Markarth remembers that.' What do you mean 'saviors of Mer'? 'The Thalmor saved all of Elven-kind during the Oblivion Crisis. Fine.' Who are the Thalmor? 'We're the ruling body of the Aldmeri Dominion.

I would like to personally thank you on behalf of myself and the Thalmor for your assistance. This will be all I need to have Ogmund taken care of. (After retrieving the Amulet of Talos, the following option becomes available.) I want you to break in to his home and find evidence.' But the Jarl has been hesitant to call for his arrest. He's old, respected, and I know for a fact that he worships Talos in his home. Perhaps you'd care to solve a little problem I'm having?' I'm interested. You're awfully inquisitive, aren't you? I like that. The Empire has agreed to accept our beliefs, and its citizens have a responsibility to cease their heretical worship. He was only a man, and does not deserve to a place in our pantheon. The Thalmor do not recognize Talos as a god. It's my mission to root out all Talos worship in this city.' Why are you after Talos worshippers? 'It's a religious matter. I was sent here to lead the Thalmor's interests in this corner of Skyrim. Bask in it.' You're not from Markarth, I take it? 'As if this craggy, wretch of a city could give birth to a superiorly bred Mer such as myself. 'You have the honor of addressing a member of the Thalmor. The amount bequeathed is 100, 10 of which is taxed by the Jarl's court. If Ondolemar dies or is killed, a courier may deliver a Letter of Inheritance to the Dragonborn from Ondolemar, provided that his personal quest was finished beforehand.

If the Dragonborn has been killing Justiciars before meeting Ondolemar, he may attack on sight, and the city guards may not intervene. He firmly believes that all Talos worship in Skyrim can be purged, despite the 'stubbornness' of the Nords. When spoken to, he speaks of his belief in the superiority of Mer over Men, of his contempt of the Empire, and of his belief that Talos does not deserve a place within the pantheon of the Divines, as Talos was a human before his ascendancy. When the Stormcloaks attack Markarth, he is nowhere to be seen. He resides in Understone Keep, where he paces back and forth near the Jarl's throne under the escort of two Thalmor Soldiers. Ondolemar is the head of the Justiciars in Skyrim, and is charged with advancing Thalmor interests in Skyrim's major city of Markarth, seeking to persecute all Talos worshippers within the city.
