After arrival they will need to find Matius, who is patrolling the bridge that leads to the Grand Council Chambers. Nerevarine travels to Ebonheart to find this inspector. Talking to a guard about this mysterious assassin will shock the guard and he will tell the Nerevarine about the Dark Brotherhood, and then direct them to Apelles Matius, an Imperial inspector, who arrived to Ebonheart from mainland Morrowind.
