Bjorn Snowcrasher, larger than average nord, grew up in Dawnstar. His father, Jorrod Snowcrasher, was a legionaire and would tell him stories of Talos and the glories of the empire. Locally famous for wrestling a bear when he was sixteen. Was seventeen when his father died in the Battle of the Red Ring. Disillusioned with life the next year he decided to travel Skyrim. This didn't help his outlook, he saw the symbol he and his father aspired to be like banned and heard stories of the Thalmor agents snatching people in the night. The rest of his family fled to High Rock after an incident. He started to hate the thought of an elf and at age twenty-two joined the Legion against his better judgement for the chance of fighting the Aldmeri Dominion. The truce never broke however and what he got instead was time killing local bandits, and even more time in local taverns. Praying to Talos in secret all the while. Age forty-two after twenty years in the Legion he gets too drunk one night and beats a smug elf to death for some offhand comment. The next day he's on a carriage to Helgen for his execution. He feels betrayed, he's old, he's jaded and his whole life he's only wanted to know the pride his father knew as a Nord. And he really hates a high elf to boot.
