Hero: Argonian, Age 28

No one in Skyrim knows who he exactly is-not even his wife, Camilla Valerius, or his two kids, Lucia and Blaise. Everyone knows him by the trademark scar under his eye. Here is his story.

Hero hathed in a small, unnamed Black Marsh village that had a law against violence. The Hist tree that he got sap from was in its last moments of life, earning him the name Sapling-Of-Finality. He always had an insatiable hunger. When he was 4, he got lost with his sister, who's name is lost among the family history, and ate her due to his hunger. When he was 17, he was to be married to the loveliest girl in his village, Shevara. A band of Thalmor soldiers came into the village and slaughtered most of the villagers, including Sapling's mother, father, brother, and betrothed, as well as scarred Sapling. He took an Elven sword from one of the soldiers, and cut through the soldiers, becoming a criminal. He was outcasted by the village elder for fighting back against the soldiers. He took to traveling, eventually coming into Skyrim from Valenwood at the age of 25. He was captured by the Imperial soldiers that caught Ulfric. When the legate asked him what his name was, he thought to himself, "if I tell them my real name, then there's no doubt that they'll execute me. I've done enough to these people to warrant them wanting me gone." And so he swallowed his pride and told them that his name was Hero. After many adventures, he helped Ulfric drive the Imperials out of Skyrim. You wpule think that he would feel safe enough to reveal his true name, but he knew that there were scatterings of Imperial soldiers all over-he couldn't let his guard down yet. He came up with a plan-Help put the Thalmor in their place, break up the Dominion, put Ulfric on the throne of the Emperor, and then reveal his name to everyone who he has met along the way, no matter if they were his enemies, friends, or the family that he has started... but his first friend in Skyrim, Faendal, is gone...

That's the story of the Argonian who goes by the name Hero. Very nice story! However, again, I would like to point out a few things.

Black Marsh has never been successfully invaded, and I don't know how the Thalmor could just get in there like that, being part of the Aldmeri Dominion. Besides, why'd they attack anyway?

The village elder also cast him out for fighting back, when they slaughtered his family. Not being able to fight back while your loved ones are killed, and being exiled for doing so is a bit...too unfair.

Not very many flaws. Again, pretty enjoyable. Just my two cents. His village was on the border of Black Marsh, so that's why. And the people in his village strongly believed in fighting without rage. He fought with darkness in his heart, so that is why he was exiled. If he hadn't lost control, then he would have stayed in the village.
