Copper Dariah

Copper Dariah is a Redguard spy and the leader of the Covenant's spy network, the Ring of Daggers.

Along with Vanus Galerion, she will aid you during Messages Across Tamriel if allied with the Covenant and will appear alongside High King Emeric if you're visiting on behalf of either the Aldmeri Dominion or Ebonheart Pact.

Through a quest in Rivenspire to bring a war criminal to justice, it is revealed that Copper Dariah's former lover was tortured by Gerard Althen to such an extent that only a solitary eyeball of his remained. If Althen is detained fellow agent Marisette remarks that Dariah will begin with one of his eyes in return.

Cariel of the Eyes of the Queen is not in Copper's good books as she had previously collapsed a building on top of her. Accidentally, of course.

Messages Across Tamriel

Covenant Version

She can be found with her colleague Marisette in the Daggerfall Mages Hall.

"About time you got here."

I don't believe we've met?

"Name's Dariah, but my friends call me Copper. I head up the Ring of Daggers, the King's espionage agency. You're looking for Vanus, right?"

I was told to report to you.

"I'll eat sand before I give orders to the King's right hand. You want to help Vanus with his crazy plan, be my guest."

I'll help Vanus if I can.

"Really? Zeht's tears, you're as crazy as he is!
I better get to work, then. There are a lot of preparations to make. Vanus should be here shortly. I'll let him give you the details. Also, you owe me ten gold. I'll collect later."

After speaking with Copper Dariah, she and Marisette discuss their wagers while you wait for Vanus Galerion to arrive.

Copper Dariah: "So, what's the bet?"

Marisette: "A hundred gold says there's an attempt on our lives within the week."

Copper Dariah: "That's a sucker bet! The Hidden Armigers have hit us at least once a week for the past three months."

Marisette: "All right. Three hundred says when the Dominion spies contact us, it'll be Cariel, not Razum-dar."

Copper Dariah: "Cariel? That wench knows better than to show her face around me. Mark my words, I'm going to have to hunt her down to slit her throat."

Marisette: "And after you do, that three hundred gold will buy you enough ale to celebrate for a year!"

Copper Dariah: "I'll take that bet!"

Marisette: "And share the ale, if you win. Let's go. We have a lot of work to do."

<Vanus appears through the doors.>

Vanus Galerion: "Apologies for my lateness."

<Copper Dariah and Marisette leave.>

Dominion Version

She will ask the player to pass a threatening message to Cariel after an incident between both her and Cariel:

Copper Dariah: "Tell Cariel that I hope to drop in for a visit very soon. From an upper story. She'll know what I mean."

High King Emeric: "So you've been mingling with the enemy, have you, Dariah? Just so you know—I already knew that."

Copper Dariah: "Oh, I love to mingle, Your Majesty. I'm going to mingle their heads right off their necks one of these days."

Pact Version

She will ask you to pass a threatening message to Thrush the next time they both meet again:

Copper Dariah: "Give my best to Thrush. Tell him I hope we can dance again, soon."

High King Emeric: "So you've been mingling with the enemy, have you, Dariah? Just so you know—I already knew that."

Copper Dariah: "Oh, I love to mingle, Your Majesty. I'm going to mingle their heads right off their necks one of these days."
