Afflicted

The Afflicted are mostly plague-stricken Bretons found mainly in the ruins of Bthardamz, but can be encountered anywhere in Skyrim. They were originally doomed to a rather unpleasant death before being brought to the ruins by Orchendor and offered the protection of Peryite. Thereafter, the plague ceased to be fatal to them.

They are hostile and attack on sight using poisonous green vomit as a weapon. They are the "chosen" of the Daedric prince Peryite.

Afflicted Refugee
It is possible to meet an "Afflicted Refugee" after reaching level 10 in the game. This is possibly the only member of the Afflicted who does not attack on sight.
