Wilhelm Iron-Skin was a Nord from Bruma, Cyrodiil. He was never actually born, he just came into existance because that's what dragons do, and he was technically a dragon. He decided to leave Bruma and head back to the land of his kin. One his passage through the Jerall mountains, he learned basic skills often used by Nords fighting off bears. Upon arriving in Skyrim, he was caught in a fight between the stormcloaks and imperials. The imperials captured him with the rebels... and you know the rest.
