These ranks evolved and changed as the games progressed, though the duties remained the same.
Grandmasters of the Blades recruited new members to the secret organization. Knight Brothers and Sisters were new members of the Blades, while the Chronicler ensured the secrecy of the organization’s operations. Agents could obtain three primary ranks, including Knight Brother/Sister depending on their gender, Chronicler, and Grandmaster. The Blades were also known as the Imperial Intelligence Service and acted as spies in domestic and foreign affairs.
Originally, the Blades were formed to serve The Elder Scrolls' Dragonborn Emperors in all matters. Though their ranks undergo extreme changes during those years, players familiar with earlier version of the Blades will likely find that the modern version seen in Skyrim feels radically different. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind is one of the series’ most popular installments and features regular appearances by the Blades, and they also appear in both sequels, Oblivion and Skyrim. This organization has been present since the beginning of The Elder Scrolls, but has significantly evolved as the series progressed. The Elder Scrolls has many guilds and organizations, but one of the most prominent is the Blades.
