I got a idea if you would like to read it... Lets say instead of being adopted by Mede III, couldn't he been adopted by Mede II. So lets say the imperial got adopted and taken care of by Mede for some years (Maybe in secret cause if its secret it doesn't break that much lore) And when (Spoiler) The dark brotherhood kills Mede II you get thrown out 1. The guards panicked when they saw him dead and blames it on you and the imperial get arrested/they try to arrest the imperial (if the imperial was on the boat) if not they just threw you out in the streets in cyrodiil. And you have now been in the street/cell in 10 years (If you were in the street you could have a back story before the book tho, if you were in a prison cell... You can't do much) and if you got thrown out you try to do somthing about it. And if your in the prison cell... You escape or got let out somehow.... Its a pretty big and complex idea but i had to share it cause your looking for ideas. (And cause i like to help :3)
