The Hooded Man

"The" Hooded Man is a member of the Dark Brotherhood and, though posing as a large threat to Shill, the rptoagonist in the game they both feature in, (Shadowsong) he has considerably less power than other members of the brotherhood, such as Sanguine or Diablia. Though throughout the game it appears as though Diablia is the hooded mans master, it turns out to be Sanguine all along. Sanguine also has many other members of the dark brotherhood at his disposal at the hooded mans level, but for some reason only chose him to isolate Shill.

It also appears throughout as if the hooded man is almost ignoring his masters command, as even though he captures Shill and shows him to most likely Sanguine, he tells him that Shill is not the savior and that he should be returned. despite this, the hooded man still endevours to track deown and kill shill, though it appears he may want more from Shill, as he lets him live quite a few times.

It may be that the hooded man will want to kill Shill, only once he has all three of the "keys" to open the vault that Diablia is sealed in. so that he could kill him then and with his master, sacrifice himself to return diablia to his former state and open the third age where it shall be just like the first age, though diablias anger and hatred for his people will grow stronfger and make the live for the people infinitley worse.
