Due to a recent annoying dude harassing me over a topic I don't even care about anymore and refusing to leave me alone even after I blatantly tell him to leave me alone. I decided to troll with a new Dragonborn character backstories.

Character: The Sovereign in the Shadows

The most important thing you need to know about The Sovereign in the Shadows he covets actual power and wealth above everything, he is not someone who wants glory too. He views glory as a double-edged sword as it means certain exposure to public eyes and that will also expose him to blames whenever something bad happens. He just wants the actual power to influence the Jarls/Moot, the Elder Council/Emperors decisions in running the country from the shadows without common folks of the Empire knowing. So when the Emperor seemingly made a stupid decision that screw the Empire over, it is actually The Sovereign in the Shadows' fault but the Emperor will take the blame for it.

The Sovereign initially wanted to take over the illicit trade in Cyrodiil, but without an actual Criminal Organization's backing, he was forced out of Cyrodiil. He sets his eyes on the other Provinces and after deliberation, he choose Skyrim to be the place where he starts anew. Unfortunately, he was captured and taken to Helgen by the Imperials who mistook him for a Stormcloak.

His decisions are all built based on obtaining power to influence the Government from the Shadows. Becoming Thane of a few Holds are crucial such as Solitude, Windhelm, Falkreath, Whiterun and Riften. Thieves Guild will be his priority follow by Dark Brotherhood. In short, he is to aim to become Maven Blackbriar go to guy for all her shady deals. She is the most influential person in the criminal world in Skyrim. The Sovereign respects Maven but also aims to replace the Blackbriar so having longevity to outlive everyone is most important. He will accept Harkon's gift to become a Vampire to retain his youth. Join the College of Winterhold with the aim to learn how to become immortal via magic, being a vampire will keep his youth so he can stay at his prime by the time his magic skills and knowledge allows him to become Immortal. I see Blackbriar being powerful but only because of one person: Maven. Once she dies, I am pretty confident my Character can take down her successors and replace them as the Crime lord in Skyrim's crime world.

Out of all the Holds, becoming Thane of Riften takes priority and he will focus on gaining support of the Dunmers, just because Morrowind has been in limbo for the past couple of centuries doesn't mean it will stay weak. Gaining friendship of the Dunmer is instrumental should they regain their strength in future. Since i want to be the most powerful crime lord in Skyrim, Silver-bloods have to go too. So I'll help Imperial Legion in the Civil War. This is why the next most important Hold to gain influence over is Falkreath. It's one of the key points where you can access Cyrodiil from Skyrim.

With influence equivalent to Thane in Riften, Falkreath and Whiterun, plus becoming leader of Thieves Guild, I pretty much control Skyrim's trade routes. I will deal with legal and illegal trades to maximize profits. I will not be in public's face.

Sovereign fighting style is trickery and annoyance.

He's under the Sign of Ritual

Perks he has: Quiet Casting,

All of Restoration school to signify his devotion into unlocking secrets of immortality,

All of Conjuration Perks, the Sovereign feels that he is above direct-confrontation and that simple killing of soldiers in the field is a warrior's job. He will hire a mercenary and summon a combination of Dremora, atronach or undead. They will be his primary source of damage in combat.

All Heavy Armor perks because partially why he sought out immortality is because this guy's a coward and once he amass a sizable wealth, he'll fear death even more. Maxing out Heavy armor perks and wearing heavy armor from head to toe reflects this.

Alchemy perks will get Alchemist, Poisoner and Concentrated Poison as a priority. He picks up alchemy and always have a healing potion with him. But the Sovereign's thought process is better at profiting at expense of harming others will be reflected here. He learn alchemy to give himself more options to stay alive but ends up being better at poisoning other people. A good thing is the poisons he concocts are lethal.

Block perks is Quick Reflexes.

Two-Handed Perks: Champion's stance, Devastating blow, Great Critical Charge, Sweep and Warmaster.

Roleplaying aspect is after he learns hes Dragonborn, he will make a lot of effort to keep appearance as the "honorable" warrior. But in reality, his fighting style is more of a backstabber who uses poisons and cheap shots, runs away screaming more sissy than a real sissy, he has exceptional talent at making spastic face and noises in battle that makes the most saintly, calm and patient people go into a fit and go straight to punch him in the face. Imagine seeing that annoying shit face celebrating victoriously by making spastic noises everytime you get cheapshotted by an obvious f*g with the most spastic face you ever seen who has probably slapped you in the face at least 3 times already.

That is his fighting style. Cheap, shameless backstabber that frustrates you.
