Upon his arrival at the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, he will settle down in the easternmost room and spend the majority of his time there, eating, sleeping, or wandering, at times doing his duties as Keeper and tending to the Night Mother, whose coffin will be put in the neighboring room. Due to his hysterical voice and constant dancing, he is considered eccentric by some and totally insane by many. Inspired by his very last assassination for the Dark Brotherhood, Cicero now refers to himself as a jester, and accordingly wears a full set of unique jester's clothing, including boots, gloves, and a hat (the outfit providing slightly stronger enchantments compared to the standard set). Cicero's ultimate goal as the Keeper is to locate the anointed Listener, as there has not been one for years. Some members of the guild are happy to have the Night Mother and her Keeper present, while others view them as a threat to the new way of running the organization. Later, his arrival at the Falkreath Sanctuary with the Night Mother's body causes much commotion.

When you first meet him near Loreius Farm, the wagon carrying his "mother" has broken down. For more information, see the lore article. He hoped to find a haven for the Night Mother, and to find a Listener who could rejuvenate the Brotherhood. As the Dark Brotherhood slowly deteriorated over the years, Cicero fled to Skyrim with the Night Mother's body, where one last chapter of the organization remained active. Before starting his new duties, he was allowed one last assassination, an unnamed jester whose laughter Cicero never forgot. He was an accomplished assassin who was extremely deadly with a dagger, and while honored to become Keeper, he was reluctant to abandon his work. When the Night Mother's crypt in Bravil was desecrated, the coffin was brought to Cheydinhal, and Cicero was appointed Keeper.

Little is known of him before 4E 186, when he arrived at the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Cheydinhal and started keeping a journal detailing some of his many contracts. As Keeper, he is responsible for caring for the Night Mother's body and casket. Cicero is an Imperial assassin and Keeper of the Dark Brotherhood.
