Nope.

Hint: the last line is pretty important - there aren't too many situations in which leaving an underground area is dangerous.

Owyn?
I think he fits in quite nicely:
Often seething - duh!
Spurned from love - I'm pretty sure he has a thing for Ysabel Andronicus, but she refused to marry him.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
But why bounce around to the same damn song?

Right! :D Spends all his time underground in the Bloodworks, almost-full iron armor, etc. And you'll notice that in the last line, I didn't specify whose death it was, but someone always dies after you enter the arena.

Your turn again, then.

Wee an' easy:

We could have gone together to investigate a grizzly case.
But I almost always stay behind to take a jolly old funfair ride.

I will add a line:

I meet you at the threshold.

Is the answer Kud-Ei/Henantier (the threshold being the line between the real world and Henantier's dream world)?Now that I think about it Arkved and Rythe Lythandas would also fit the riddle.

Grizzly case? Is it Thorley Aethelred, the guy who has you hunt bear teeth?

Fafnir? He meets you at the threshold of Summit Mist Manor, and the Whodunit could be the grizzly case. No?

Hmm...funfair ride...the hell does Oblivion have that's similar to a carnival ride? ...Fithragaer! He mets you at the threshold of Nenyond Twyll, to find the missing necromancer informant Mucianus Allias, who's grizzly fate was to be turned into a worm thrall, but Fthragaer almost always dies by taking the funfair ride straight into a spiked ceiling. Final Answer.

That is the correct answer (poor dear Fithragaer Image).

Your turn! Image

Thanks for the welcome, and HORY SHEET I got it right!

Wow so...uh...crap this one is probably too easy but it's all I can think of. Heck something similar was probably already been asked, but I'm not searching 500 pages to see if it has.

Here comes a new trivia riddle:

Centuries later, I will still be the same,
Still questing, still greedy,
Still broken by Tantalus' torture,
Same skin, same eyes, same name -
Save for one simple change.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.

Sinderion?

"Centuries later I will still be the same"
He's an elf, they can live for hundreds of years.

"Still questing, still greedy"
He's dissatisfied with the Elixer of Exploration and continues to quest for Nirnroot like crazy.

"Still broken by Tantalus' Torture"
The secrets of Nirnroot continue to elude Sinderion.

Tantalus Torture refers to having something desirable dangled in front of your nose, but always yanked away before you can grab it. It's where we get the word tantalize.

"Same Skin, Same Eyes, Same Name"
Sinderion stays the same even two centuries later in Skyrim.

"Save for one simple change"
He's dead Jim.
