You can edit the entire file with this program if you know what you're doing, but the built-in LargeMapData editor and the BMP dump/import stuff are the only functions I'd call idiot-proof. Any other editing is best done with a hex editor.

Armor: Mithril/Adamantium
Legitimate: Yes
Artifacts: 3
Guilds: Knights of the Flame 8(8), Fighters Guild 6(6), Temple of Stendarr 4(4), Mages Guild 5(5)

Morthag is a brave paladin, a kind of special knight that assemble the sword and magic in the fight for the good. They dont fail in any mission and try to help the people so far as they can. They will go any distance to defeat Daedras and undeads. And they follow a very rigorous code of honor. He hasn't failed ANY mission! People in Anticlere react well to him.

Ming 2.13? 14 April 1998 54 kb
Level: 31
Class: Samurai
Race: Redguard
Gold: 3 million
Armor: Full Magical Daedric
Legitimate: Yes
Artifacts: All
Guilds: Rank 9 in many

Has not yet started the main quest. The only cheats used were a bio editor to create custom biography and the show all dungeons cheat because one of the artifact quests refused to mark the dungeonon on the map. All primary, major and minor skills maxed out and all miscellaneous trained to at least 50. Owns all books and potion recipes. Revered status in Daggerfall, Wayrest, Sentinal and home town of Santaki (owns a large house there).

Ghash 2.13 6 March 1998 88 kb
Level: 27
Class: Wanderer
Race: Redguard
Armor: Daedric
Legitimate: Yes
House: Medium Size, Crossing, Wrothgarian Mountains

All kinds of nice daedric armor/weapons and magic things. Only cheated to lower skills to get a higher level Ghash is a cured werewolf, but his mind is still perverted as if he was still a werewolf. He likes the smell of fresh blood and did recently kill 109 knights in the town of Tsetoaret, Dragontail Mountains, and about 30-50 civilians. While he was amputating those knights he broke one Daedric Short Sword, one Mithril Short Sword and did almost destroy a Dai-Katana. When he didn't want to kill anymore guards he went to a nearby pub and got real drunk, when he finally got sober he couldn't remember a thing.

Dorian Kaine 2.13? 30 December 1997 58 kb
Level: 41
Class: Hunter
Gold: 51 million
Armor: Full Magical Daedric
Legitimate: Unclear
Guilds: Rank 9 in all

Your basic kick-a** character...full suit of Daedric all enchanted with soul bound Dragonling, Feather Weight, etc... Has lots of jewelry for the same purpose, but it is all worn. Is currently on the Wayrest Painting quest. About 51 million gold, most in letters of credit. Is rank 9 in EVERY GUILD in Tamriel (all temples, knights, etc...). Have been told this is a legitimate character, not merely a pure cheat, which is entirely possible but how likely?

Lord Soth 1.75 28 December 1997 56 kb
Level: 4
Race: Dark Elf
Legitimate: Yes

4th level Dark Elf affected from Lycantrophy, in the WereBoar form. No cheats or patches used.

Keophex of Wroth 2.13 25 December 1997 53 kb
Level: 20
Class: Dark Minion (Mage/Thief)
Race: Dark Elf
Gold: ~51 million
Armor: Full Magical Daedric
Legitimate: Yes
Skills: Archery, Hand-to-Hand, Restoration, Critical Strike, Backstabbing (80%), Illusion, Stealth, Medical, Running, Dodging, Destruction, Lockpicking
Guilds: None
Special: Vampire

Keophex is the essence of evil. She murders for fun, actively tries to end life any way possible, and loves to fight dirty. I have made a LONG custom bio for her (in the history), which describes the dementia rather well. Basically, her goal is to get a complete set of the Artifacts the Daedra Princes send her to get. If you could "join" a witch's coven, and go up rank, she would be a "Master Witch". Basically, do quests for Wroth coven until you can afford to summon a Daedra, do it, get the artifact, store it, and start again. She currently has 7 artifacts acquired in this manner. Keophex is ALWAYS invisible, and tries to make every hit a backstab, and usually pulls it off. Ebony material is her thing, and she's currently looking for a full suit (minus helmet, of course) of ebony. Keophex prefers the Bow and Fist style, but currently uses an Ebony Longsword and an Ebony Kite Shield, as she doesn't want to master anything yet. Most importantly, KEOPHEX HAS NEVER DIED. Never once has she died, unless the game messed up, Just be sure to read the history before you play her, it really makes you understand this character's psyche. Keophex does not mingle with mortals, except Mordastyr Yeomsmith, the leader of the Wroth Coven of the Wrothgarian Mountains.

The same character as listed above, except he is level 31 and a full blown vampire now! All attributes are now at 100...and this is without modifying them by cheating! Several skills like critical strike and hand-to-hand are at close to 130%. Definetly not someone you'd want to mess with...ever!
