Appearance
The Shadow Spectres are usually very beautiful. There beauty comes from the consumption of blood and souls. Make your character have beautiful eyes and flawless skin, for Dunmer. Khajit Spectres should have neutral colored fur, blue eyes, and be more human-like than animalistic. Argonians are an exception to the Beauty rule. They are usually more terrifying. Add Horns and give you Argonian a touch of red.

Story
Spectres are Vampires that have fully embraced Darkness, and not evil like most Vampires. These Beings of Shadow survive death and can turn back time so they can stop their selves from dying. They worship Azura and Namira, and are Champions of Nocturnal; They are neither Aedra or Daedra, nor man or mer. They are Darkness itself. Their bodies are merely vessels, and usually succumb to their race's Religious Belief, such as the Nine Divines.
Strategies
Here I will post Strategies that are useful with this Build.
- If you ever see a projectile coming towards you (arrow, spell) sneak and then use sprint to roll.
