Cicero appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released in 2011, as the flamboyant keeper of the Dark Brotherhood and one of the game's most quoted followers. His exaggerated manner and devotion to the Night Mother made his dialogue popular in gameplay clips, edits and soundboards long after release. This line spread because it sums up his character in a few seconds, mixing sincere delight with obvious danger. Fans still use it to joke about instant bonds, obsessive new acquaintances and friendships that feel a little too intense from the start.
