The Imperial Throne sits empty.
The Dragonfires cold;
And from every corner, darkness grows.
Now, ancient enemies band together.
Unlikely alliances are forged. Old ambitions rekindled.
And as enemies rise faster than allies,
salvation cannot come from one hero alone, but from many.

I want it on record that I am a proud member of Team "Gabrielle Benele is Completely Unhinged."
This may be a rather lukewarm take, as I don't have as much interaction with the Daggerfall Covenant side of the ESO fandom, but I'm convinced that, like myself until a couple years ago, neither has anyone that has ever earnestly considered her a voice of reason.
Gabrielle is that one character that people assume is put together at first glance because she's intelligent and professionally accomplished, but that perception completely shifts as people gradually discover the laundry list of borderline war crimes she's used those smarts to commit.
Her canonical claims to fame include, with no hyperbole applied:
- Singlehandedly breaking into a cult-infested crypt for a talisman rumored to open portals to Oblivion.
- Gleefully hacking the warding sequence on one of the most secure vaults in the Covenant and openly admitting that she'd wanted to take a crack for some time upon learning it was named the "Impervious Vault."
- Getting banned from the Anchor's Point Inn for setting fire to the hair of a pushy dragonknight who failed to heed her rather upfront request to stop hitting on her (easily the most understandable point on this dissertation).
- Losing "teleporting directly to the Evermore Mages' Guild" privileges for a reportedly similar incident.
- And, most unnervingly of all, sending a treatise to Covenant generals advising the displacement of beasts and beastfolk in enemy territory to send them rampaging into local settlements as an invasion tactic.
Ya gurl may have more outward tact in professional settings, but there's absolutely no way her dynamic with Darien doesn't involve him reigning her in ethically as often as she reigns him in conversationally. These feral besties are two halves of a whole common sense and I love that for them.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
As part of that Daggerfall Covenant side of the fandom I just want to add that we also shouldn't forget her lofty (and terrifying) horsegirl aspirations
