From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Fargoth is a notorious fictional character in the video game The Elder Scrolls, Chapter III - Morrowind (2002), which is the third installment in the series of video games called The Elder Scrolls.

Fargoth is a wood elf, or Bosmer, who lives in the small village of Seyda Neen. He is very clever, but too proud for his own good. The guards of that village often mock him and beat him up for his valuables. Instead of reporting how corrupt the guards are, Fargoth hides his valuables in his secret hiding place, a hollow tree trunk in a small, marshy pond. At night, when anywhere near the secret trunk, he can be exceedingly paranoid

At the beginning of The Elder Scrolls, Chapter III - Morrowind (2002), the player finds Fargoth's ring in a barrel and gives it to the Bosmer, after which he/she earns Fargoth's gratitude and the local merchant, who is a good friend of Fargoth, lowers his prices for the player. Later on, the player can help a guard find Fargoth's hiding place and recover the ring. In this situation, having lost his ring forever, Fargoth becomes very distressed but never identifies the player as the one who found his spot.

Being the first character that the player meets after being released from prison, Fargoth is a very memorable character. It can be noted that so many people have come to detest Fargoth because of his whiny voice that several plugins for the game have been created in which he dies a gruesome death.
