Race: Altmer (High Elf)

Gender: Male

Name: Firnen

Age: 29

Class: Mage (Battlemage oriented with Necromancy), Archer/Assassin ***I attempt and specialize in magic, then move to other tactics, though stealth is always vital

Backstory: Firnen grew up in the Summerset Isles for the first 26 years of his life. Living a life of privilige and wealth, he was a magical prodigy growing up under high ranking Thalmor parents. He excelled in every study, constantly surpassing the standards placed on him by his teachers and superiors. However, he grew up to resent the elitist hubris so abundant all around him. Rather than embrace the life of leisure which was layed before him, he rejected his Thalmor lineage and ran away to Skyrim with the intention to study at the College of Winterhold, never leaving a hint as to where he ran.

However, his parents always saw that while he was an expert at masking his emotions and true feelings, they suspected that he didn't fully embrace the ideals of 'Altmer superiority.' They saw his empty room, sent out search parties, and posted a reward for information regarding his whereabouts. He made it to the border of Skyrim, only to be caught in the Imperial ambush by sheer bad luck and was imprisoned. To Firnen's shock, his mother was present in Helgen as he was carried on the carriage alongside the Stormcloak rebels. Rather than embrace him with open arms, she condemned him to death, having rationalized his decisions and intentions to leave. Elenwen had no space for a disobedient son who was a disgrace to every Thalmor ideal.

He escaped, of course, through the timely arrival of Alduin. For a time he assisted the people of Whiterun, before killing his first dragon at the watchtower. After his training with the Greybeards and meeting Delphine, he realized he needed far greater power to defeat dragons and survive in the harsh environment around him. Despite Delphine's wishes, he went from Kynesgrove directly to the college.

Again, he excelled, and grew close with the three fellow apprentice mages. After defeating Ancano, he left Tolfdir in charge as he traveled across Skyrim. Defeating numerous bandits and monsters, and becoming the champion of several Daedric princes, Firnen joined the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild, rationalizing his thieving and murdering by seeing his victims as evil or lowlife scum. Eventually, he returned to Delphine and succeeded in his fate to kill Alduin. Although he ends the civil war by fighting for the Imperials and hunts down his maniacal mother, along with every Thalmor agent he comes across, Firnen faces a dilemna upon realizing Alduin may return and other evils will always exist. Firnen, though a long living elf, was mortal.

He heard of the Dawnguard, and upon bringing Serana home, he chose immortality through vampirism to keep an enternal vigil against threats to Tamriel and Skyrim. Firnen is cautious, relying on sneaking and careful battle tactics to come out ahead. With his mastery of all schools of magic, with an aptitude in illusion, he is a shadow of death for swarms of enemies, who can rely on the bow or swords when magic fails him. His morality may be seen as grey, but he cares for those close to him and chooses violence only towards those who deserve it in his eyes. His closest friends are the three apprentices of Winterhold, his first housecarl Lydia, and many of those he's met in travels. Serana, however, whom has been his closest and most faithful compaion, is his dearest friend, whom he'll protect as she protects him. He defeats Miraak three years after coming to Skyrim, and has made it his eternal goal to vanquish all evil he comes across, as the last and immortal Dovahkiin.
