Janus Hassildor is a nobleman of the Cyrodiil Empire from the world of the game series "The Elder Scrolls", a noble vampire, a count, the ruler of the ancient imperial city of Skingrad and the fertile lands of the county adjacent to it. The Count is fair and sometimes cruel, can use his strength and power to subjugate someone, is used to everyone and everything following and submitting to the order established by him. He can be called a tyrant, but, in fact, he is caring and selfless, he loves his home, land, subjects and cares for them. He likes exquisite luxury, art, refined conversations and ancient manuscripts, the study of magic, but does not like rough customs and noisy crowds. The light of the sun is destructive for him.

The Count dreams of establishing eternal order and prosperity among his subjects, of creating a great legacy that will survive the ages, but forgets about his own happiness.

Janus's character traits include grandeur, pride, wisdom, and steadfastness. He has a sharp mind, the ability to think strategically, endurance, and patience. However, sometimes his pride can overshadow common sense, and his composure and law-abidingness can prevail over mercy.

The Count was born into a noble imperial family, raised in the traditions of the aristocracy, and received an education worthy of a ruler. More than 50 years ago, he decided that human life was not enough to maintain order and prosperity on his land, and decided to become a vampire. Later, he turned his wife Rona into a vampire. He loved her very much and wanted her to be by his side forever. The Count came to terms with being a vampire and found its advantages in it, but Rona could not, she hated what she had become, refused to feed and maintain her strength, after some time she fell into a coma and has not woken up yet. The Count's loyal servants look after her, but Janus wants her to finally find peace.

For a long time, Janus ruled his lands, maintaining order and justice. Only his confidants know that he and his wife are vampires. In conversations, the city's residents mention that the Count rarely appears in public, but despite this. His subjects love and respect him.

Janus is also unique in that he does not tolerate other vampires, despises them, claiming that they succumbed to their animal instincts. The Count tries not to allow them onto his land and protect his people from them. Sometimes, to ensure this, the Count acts very harshly: he captures, keeps in the dungeon of his castle and executes other vampires. Janus himself managed to curb his thirst for blood, and this proves his willpower. He takes blood only from criminals, those whose guilt is clearly proven, imprisoned in his castle.

Janus can sincerely and passionately love another person and, in fact, wants this, wants to find a companion with whom he will share eternity, but he hides it, hides his heart in cold, stone armor. He is afraid to love again also because his love caused his wife to suffer. Therefore, Janus tries to fence himself off from love, mocks it for show and despises it. He especially does not believe in the love of vampires.

The Count is the only one in the Empire who can show the way to cure vampirism. He himself hopes to find it one day, so that he can cure his wife. The witches of the Glenmoril Coven, who are hiding in Cyrodiil, know the way to cure. The Count's scouts have found the last witch, but she is in danger. Because of her knowledge of the way to cure vampirism, opponents of curing vampirism are hunting her, for this reason the Count can only tell her location to a person he trusts.

Janus has a difficult relationship with the Mages Guild. The Guild's representatives found out that the Count is a vampire, and agreed not to disclose this information in exchange for valuable information periodically supplied to them. Perhaps it is the Count who should be thanked for the fact that the Guild did not cease to exist at all, because it was he who warned the Arch-Mage Hannibal Traven about the return to Cyrodiil of the head of the necromancers, Mannimarco, known as the King of Worms, the blood enemy of the Arch-Mage and the entire Guild. Janus dislikes the Mages Guild, but still does not wish to destroy it.

In addition, the Count has a deep knowledge of magic and ancient artifacts, which makes him a valuable ally for those who seek knowledge and power, although earning his trust is not easy.

The Count is also known for his passion for art and culture. His castle is decorated with exquisite tapestries, statues and paintings, and his library contains rare manuscripts and tomes on history, philosophy and magic. He often invites artists, musicians and poets to his city, supporting their creativity and inspiring them to create new masterpieces. The Count himself is engaged in creativity - he paints pictures. For example, his portrait and the portrait of his wife, hanging in the main hall of the castle, the Count painted himself. But after the tragedy that happened to his wife, the Count almost lost the desire to create.

Despite his external coldness and inaccessibility, the Count is fair and merciful, especially to those who need his protection. Janus often organizes charity events, helping the poor and sick, and his subjects sincerely respect him for this.
