Javinus is a formerly wealthy Imperial who was bored with life and decided it might be fun to join a Daedric cult to Mehrunes Dagon called the Order of the Waking Flame. When he eventually realized that doing so had been a bad idea, he ran from them and sought refuge with their enemies. Namely, you.

Lines Spoken by This Houseguest:

• "As a former Daedric cultist, I have absolutely no interest in a summoning ritual some of my old associates plan to conduct tonight. Absolutely no interest whatsoever. Nope. If I'm not around later, that's definitely not where I'll be."
  
  
• "The Daedric Princes often get unduly vilified. And their followers, they receive the very negative appellation of cultist. You don't see anyone treating the Divines and their followers that way. It's appalling, that's what it is. I'm just saying."
  
  
• "Did you know that Mehrunes Dagon wrote a book? It's called the Mysterium Xarxes. I'd like to read it someday and see if the teachings of the Waking Flame adhere to Dagon's actual words. My guess? Not so much."
  
  
• "Have you read Caecilius Bursio? Great truths are written in the stars, he says. I was born under the sign of the Steed, and everything he writes about such people describes me precisely! Except impatience. I have no time for that sort of nonsense."
  
  
• "I have to admit, I miss the fires. Mehrunes Dagon rituals always had lots of fires. I loved staring into the dancing flames."
  
  
• "I joined the Order of the Waking Flame because I wanted to be a revolutionary. With the Empire falling apart, what's the harm in trying something new? Don't worry. I quit the cult and am looking for something else now. Maybe the Dark Brotherhood!"
  
  
• "I know I've been a fool about this whole cult business, but if you ever heard the Master speak ... well, it was like he was talking directly to me. Like he cared about me. Later, he scared the gorapple out of my pie, but before that, it was sublime."
  
  
• "I never felt very welcome in temples of the Eight Divines. No one looks like they're having fun there. Would it kill them to sponsor just a little debauchery for the faithful every now and then? I'm sure that would help with recruitment."
  
  
• "I really thought that joining a secret Daedric cult would get me invited to more interesting parties. Not so much."
  
  
• "I spoke with the Master of the Order once. The Supreme Leader. He wore a mask, but his voice sounded very familiar. I think he's somebody famous. Somebody important. But for the life of me, I never could place it."
  
  
• "I think the Waking Flame just doesn't understand the real message of Mehrunes Dagon. It's about change, not destruction. Mostly."
  
  
• "I'm a former member of a Daedric cult. Form-er. I am in no way a murderous worshiper of some pagan religion. At least, I'm not any more. The robes? Hey, I just like the way they look!"
  
  
• "I'm afraid for my safety. The Order of the Waking Flame doesn't tolerate apostates. They have a very special ritual they reserve specifically for so-called backsliders. It's called ... the Dagon Slap. Believe me, it's a lot worse than it sounds."
  
  
• "I'm beginning to think I just picked the wrong cult. There's a lot to recommend the cult of Azura. It's very fashionable right now, and not at all murderous. Well, not too murderous."
  
  
• "I've been thinking about why I became involved with the Order of the Waking Flame. Mother always worried I would scandalize the family in front of the neighbors. I guess I decided to prove her right."
  
  
• "If not for the compassion of a certain homeowner, I'd be on the street right now. My family disowned me when I joined the cult, and I had to give everything I owned to the order. When you quit, they do not provide any sort of refund, by the way."
  
  
• "Several of my friends have been attending Sanguine's revels lately. I don't think they're very sincere in their worship, but they rave about the wine. Lots and lots of wine. I might give it a try. In the spirit of exploring my options, you know?"
  
  
• "So, just to be clear, I'm a former member of the Order of the Waking Flame. You'd call it a Daedric cult, I suppose, but while we're in the movement, we never use the 'c' word. Now that I'm out, I can say it with impunity -- cult, cult, cult!"
  
  
• "Things I learned as a cultist: It's hard to get passers-by to look at religious literature. If you wrap your literature around a brick and throw it through a window, though, someone's bound to read it."
  
  
• "They promised that I'd be part of something important. Something significant. But I don't think the Order of the Waking Flame valued my contributions at all. I do look good in their robes, though."
  
  
• "The Waking Flame promised me a revolution, and that seemed like a good idea at the time. The cataclysm stuff, not so much."
  
  
• "Would you believe that I joined the Order of the Waking Flame to impress a lover? I know. It sounds foolish now. But they were a great lover!"
  
  
• "You'd be surprised how many Daedric cultists come from wealthy families. Must have something to do with all the leisure time and disposable income. And boredom. Boredom can lead to truly stupid pursuits."
