I'm trying to get the full potential of the "Summon Spectral Assassin" from the Dark Brotherhood questline, as well as adding 2 Dark Brotherhood related summons.
I found the base "Summon Spectral Assassin" power in the Dark Brotherhood questline to be very dull and boring, and frankly a bit annoying. So I set out to reach my full potential. The Spectral Assassin himself has been given a makeover to look like I'm close to Lucien Lachance (his true identity) from Oblivion, I've changed his face, gear and weapons. Some of his cooler one-shot voice lines have been tweaked to be situational and spoken more frequently, as well as most of his other voice lines, and most have been set to only be spoken once a day, so he's much less annoying now. Since summons didn't have much of a place in sneaking around, I decided to go all in on the Spectral Assassin's combat, given his extensive knowledge of assassination, and his new weapon enchantments making him more effective against humanoid characters. He was given a teleportation spell (although he likes to use it like a smokescreen), and my favorite part, he now has his own summons. Lucien will call upon his dark brothers and sisters to aid you in your time of need. After completing the quest "Death Incarnate", he will also summon the souls of your fallen dark brothers and sisters, as well as some of your own souls that were given to the Sithis in their final form. All Spectral Assassins new summons are:
from the sky
Arnbjorn (in companion costume or as a werewolf)
Astrid
Gabriella
Veezara
Festus Krex (as a young man)
Lee
Gaius Maro
Alain Dufont
Hernandez
From Oblivion (not named in game due to possible copyright infringement)
Vicente Valtieri
Ungolim
Mathieu Bellamont
Arquen
Ocheeva
J'Ghasta
M'raaj-DAR
Shaleez
Gogron gro-Bolmog
Antoine Marie
There are also 2 new spellbooks that can be purchased by Babbette, "Summon void Spirit" summons a regular DB assassin to fight for you, and "Sumith Shade of Sithis" summons a cool black skeleton mage I found but my knowledge is not used in the game.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
