I created this as a general lore friendly backstory. I had a Khajiit in mind but any character will fit.

Enjoy.

                                                      The Prodigy

             Slavery was once widespread throughout Tamriel, whether it was the practice of using defeated enemies as slaves or selling your own children to combat hunger. Under Tiber Septim the practice was outlawed except in Morrowind by the Dunmer. There it was contained for centuries until the eruption of Red Mountain which drove the Dark Elves from their homeland. As the Dunmer scattered across the continent, the practice trafficking of slaves multiplied into one of the worst kept secrets in all Tamriel. The war between the Elves and Men only increased the need for cheap labor. But instead of shackling slaves with magical bracelets as they had in Morrowind, the lords of the land shackled the economy. A day's wage or a Septim, was once enough to feed a family for a month now may buy a loaf of bread. The races across Tamriel were for a time fat and happy under the Emperor are now bordering on starvation and rebellion. Skyrim is the key. It supplies the soldiers that are the backbone of the Imperial army. Unfortunately, the Jarls are losing control of the populous. Ordinary citizens are turning to banditry or becoming mercenaries. The Emperor knows that he must part with a portion of his vast fortune to quell the insurrection. He sends a single ship, the Brinehammer, laden with gold and slaves to Solitude. He knows that the greed of the Jarls have no bounds and will fall in line as they did when they agreed to the White-Gold Concordat. Also aboard is a special gift to Sybille Stentor, the court wizard of the Blue Palace. A creature only known to the Emperor as the Prodigy. The Prodigy is a slave born and breed to do the will of it's master. Stentor's secret coven has magically infused the blood of Tiber Septim into the Prodigy and have encased it for delivery for the final bonding ritual to be done by the wizard. Upon it's final approach to Solitude, the Brinehammer strikes an iceberg in the cold misty waters. The Sea of Ghosts claims all aboard. Deep in the hold of the ship a magical barrier slowly dissipates. The Prodigy emerges and assesses it's surroundings. Although battered and bruised and alone, a smile turns into laughter. The magical bond is broken, the slave is free. After burying the king's ransom that lay crated and unclaimed, the Prodigy looks up into the clearing mist. All that can be seen is Destiny.
