Farengar Secret-Fire is the  court wizard of Whiterun and a friend of Jarl Balgruuf. His interest in dragon research leads him to recruit adventurers to assist him with his projects, such as the recovery of a long-lost dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow. His role and backstory have been somewhat expanded, and he has a number of new scenes (notably acting as a major supporting character during the Kynesgrove dragon encounter.) Farengar has a very dry sense of humor and only shows real excitement when presented with the chance to conduct new research.

A Scottish or Irish accent is ideal for this character, but not required. Tone should be even and intelligent. Speech is accented and slightly stilted.
