Azarath Salvel is a Morag Tong Brother with a long history and solid reputation. He is the father of Lucien Lachance, although Lucien does not remember him at all. Lucien’s mother used to live in Morrowind, but when the Arnesian war started in 3E396, it was no longer a safe place for an Imperial woman with a young child. She left for Cyrodiil before little Lucien could even walk, and Azarath had to stay away to protect her. Then later, when the wars were over, Lucien joined the Dark Brotherhood, and again Azarath Salvel had to stay away.

But recently things started to change. The Great War with the Aldmeri Dominion ended in 4E175, and years that followed saw both Morag Tong and the Dark Brotherhood go through a phase of rebuilding, after the Aldmeri attempt to decimate both organisations during the war. Although it didn’t lead to warm relations exactly, it instilled caution into both groups and made them acknowledge that a war of assassins can never be in either of their interests. And thus it was no longer that much of a problem that the father of a Dark Brotherhood Speaker was a Morag Tong Brother.
