Karliah is a Dunmer thief and a member of the Nightingales, in service to Nocturnal. Karliah's maternal grandparents are Queen Barenziah and a Nightingale thief by the name of Drayven Indoril. Karliah's mother Dralsi taught her the art of thievery and how to survive in Skyrim, living as a rogue. However, she did not induct Karliah into the Nightingales before her death. Karliah eventually became a member of Skyrim's Thieves Guild and was inducted into the Nightingales by Guild Master Gallus Desidenius, who became her lover at some point.[1] She was exiled from the Guild for 25 years after allegedly murdering Gallus. In reality, she was framed for Gallus' murder, which was actually committed by Mercer Frey, a former Nightingale, who stole Nocturnal's Skeleton Key from the Twilight Sepulcher, and took Gallus' place as Guild Master. With the help from a new guild member, Karliah exposed Mercer, reformed the Nightingale Trinity, and tracked Mercer down to Irkngthand where he was killed. With Gallus' death avenged she along with Brynjolf named the new guild member, the next Guild Master and after tasking the soon-to-be Guild Master with returning the Skeleton Key to the Twilight Sepulcher, Karliah met the ghost of Gallus where they said their farewells. Karliah would soon take up residence in Nightingale Hall and at some point attended the ceremony for the new Guild Master.[2]
