Umaril was defeated by Pelinal Whitestrake at the start of the First Era during the human uprising against the Ayleids, their 'Slavemasters', and the fall of the White-Gold Tower. He favored 'ruin-from-afar', preferring to send minions to attack and weaken his foes before he would risk direct combat. Umaril appeared similar to Meridia's Daedric servants, the Aurorans, though much larger. Using magic, Umaril bound his soul directly to the realm of his mistress Meridia, allowing his spirit to escape death and his physical body to travel between realms. Umaril was a 'half-Elf', born of an Ayleid mother and a divine father. Umaril the Unfeathered was an Ayleid sorcerer-king who once ruled Tamriel and enslaved the human population. 'As balangua, Ehlnada racuvar!” (“By my power, the mortal gods shall be cast down!”)
