How about "infiltrator" or something else that's stealth-related, since your class has four skills in that category?

You are aware that you have no major skills governing intelligence and only one governing strength right?
It seems more like a stealth kind of class, so you could go with e.g. "burglar" or "jester", because it seems like a type og guy who'd use speechcraft to get things he/she wants, cheaply.

You could really name it anything. I'd name mine something like "hgrte4r", since I'm lazy. You wouldn't notice the title hardly even in gameplay.

I personally find the "major" skills to be a hindrance to leveling my characters properly -- which means that I find setting the majors to be the opposite of how I play the character actually works best. :wink:

As far as names go, there are plenty of names in history to play with. Templar. Malthusian.
Or go for names from fantasy/anime. Krozair. Judge. Ghostrider. Souleater. Soulreaper.
Pick something that sounds scary and makes you laugh.

Harbinger.

Back in the old days, a messenger and lightly armed guards would ride ahead of a nobleman's entourage or an army marching on a road. The job of these forward scouts was to 'harbenge' shelter and provisions from the town ahead. These harbingers would ride in, secure the town, and inform the people of what was about to meet them. As vassals in the feudal system, these townspeople were obligated to gather food for the approaching travellers as their version of a tax payment. It's how the word 'harbinger' today means a messenger of warning.

Technically, their job is to move fast and deal with any sort of trouble lying in wait ahead of them with whatever limited resources they have. A task where wit may be a more valuable weapon than a heavy axe.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

What about Poet? There is a Bard class in oblivion, and your build seems to share a few traits, so what do you think?

I personally like the suggestion of Harbinger, but factoring the emphasis upon Intelligence in addition to Strength would something like Strategist or Tactician be appropriate. Inquisitor fits with the Hunter precedent, and also seems to fit the offensive and stealth-orientated skill combination.
