Because of this factor, he could be considered to some believers to be one of the darkest, and most evil of the Daedra lords.ĭuring the events of Oblivion Peryite is primarily concerned with his followers. His primary job is that of spreading disease throughout Tamriel and Nirn overall. At other times though he appears as a group of large rats. But when individuals encounter him, it is said that he takes on the appearance of a dragon. The Daedric prince is very arcane to the mortal realm, something that leads those to consider him weak. All the other Daedric Princes, Peryite included, wiped their hands of Dagon and actively helped to hunt down and eliminate his Mythic Dawn cultists, turning Dagon into a forsaken god even in their liberal circles.

While it is debatable, among the grey and shifting morals of the Daedric Prince's, that most of the princes had a moral problem with the attempted Apocalypse (although at least two princes, Azura and Meridia very clearly did object to it) all of them objected to Dagon breaking his oath to the Divines, an oath he made alongside his brethren, thus damaging their collective credibility.

It is found out in Skyrim that Peryite along with all the other Daedric Princes turned his back on Mehrunes Dagon for his attempts to invade Nirn. Peryite is very particular about his plagues, while he created the Afflicted Carriers to wash over the land he wishes their plague to gradually roll over the land in order for the afflicted to adapt. The importance Peryite sees in these plagues is that they wipe out the weak and build up new immunities, thus strengthening a society as a whole. He is concerned with balance of the ecosystem, creating disease, colds and plague to wash-over the land. Because of his relative weakness in comparison to the others, Peryite intentionally avoids conflict to tend to his own affairs. Peryite has never come into conflict with any of the other Daedric Princes except for Jyggalag and Mehrunes Dagon. Peryite is seen as the weakest of Daedric Princes, however that still makes him much stronger than any mortal.
