A race in the Elder Scrolls video game series.
Bretons are part-elvish and part-human beings (more human than elvish) that populate the province of High Rock, where the second game of the series, Daggerfall, takes place. They are capable mages with high magicka resistance. Other than that, they have few distinctive features. They are considered an intelligent human race in Tamriel, known for a proficiency in abstract thinking, a possible reason for their adeptness in the magical arts.
The Bretons' origin can be traced to the First Era of Elder Scrolls history, when the Aldmer attacked and destroyed the Nedic holdings in Skyrim. Many of the female Nords captured in the raids were subsequently enslaved as concubines, and gave birth to mixed Aldmer-Nord offspring, termed Manmer by the pure-blooded Nords. While the Aldmer maintained control of Tamriel, the Manmer lived as lower-class citizens, supporting their meric brethren. After the Aldmer lost their foothold, the remaining Manmer interbred with the controlling human races. The Bretons of modern-day Tamriel have a much-diluted meric ancestry, seen in their higher magical affinity.
It is assumed that Bretons are based on the Breton people of France (or Celtic people in general), just as it is assumed that Imperials are based on the Romans.

A Breton is particularly skilled in mysticism and healing and summoning magic, which means they are natural defensive mages.

A Breton is a tiny mischievous creature, like an imp, except with stunning and dashing looks, so it does not appear to be dangerous. Although it can slit your throat with ease and the utmost of celerity.

Breton is a loyal, caring, handsome as hell guy. He will always put others first and will do the best he can do make you happy. He is funny and can be annoying but in the best way. If you come across a Breton do not take advantage of him. He deserves the best of the best so make sure you love him well. Breton will also have really nice facial features!

The greatest of all time, he's unmatched in intellect and dominance. The true alpha and king, our true lord and savior. Many view him as the devil while others see other wise. Be wary though, he will cuck you as he's a sadist by nature. Luis A Breton is one above all and will bless you if you gain his hand in friendship. Also has monster schlong. Sinful and full of lust, a nymph.
